But here, they're boiling the frog slowly so voters don't really see the steal in action.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Election Day has turned into Election Season and they're "finding" votes in percentages that defy explanation, always favoring the anointed candidate as opposed to the upstart who isn't wholly controlled by the Prickwrinkle machine.

interactions with the community. Implementation of the plan intends to
improve equitable outcomes, reduce racial disparities, and achieve
racial equity and inclusion in CPD’s core work by fostering inclusivity,
diversity, and fairness within the Department and its interactions with
the community. By addressing community engagement, workforce diversity,
and public safety with a racial equity lens, CPD aims to build trust,
promote justice, and create a safer and more equitable Chicago for all.</i></li></ul><p style="text-align: justify;">We'll just refer everyone back to our post Monday (and HeyJackass.com every day) that points out in plain English that "equitable outcomes" are impossible when 85%-to-90% of your victims AND offenders are of one demographic.<br /></p>SCChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10974474509296396737noreply@blogger.com33tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13350456.post-5267430921797005232024-03-26T00:05:00.011-05:002024-03-26T00:05:00.133-05:00A Lot to Unpack Here<p style="text-align: justify;">Someone posted this in the comments section and there's a lot of info here. Quite a bit of it is actually in sync with things we're seeing and hearing:</p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span>OT:<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span>city a while back paid many millions of $ for a study to determine positions that could be civilianized and results came back. this has been done before, but its usually something the supt asks for and then buries quietly so as not to upset the hundreds of useless females trotting around HQ doing jack all day. this time is different. and make no mistake, Snelling was brought in to transform the department into what the consent decree mandates it should be, and these changes will come- some faster than others. here's some examples;</span><br /><br /><span>some BIA investigators and case review people, filing, non-essential stuff.</span><br /><span>training staff at the academy for some non-critical classes, curriculum development, etc.</span><br /><span>timekeepers (eventually every one of them will be a civilian)</span><br /><span>admin assistants and secretaries going civilian (except for admin SGT's)</span><br /><span>expansion of front desk, lockup and radio room to all civilian (except for bond desk) & not allowed to staff those spots w/ sworn</span><br /><span>other HQ places like legal affairs, risk, graphic arts, compstat, audit, R&D, tech, etc.</span><br /><span>and.... detectives</span><br /><br /><span>d-unit is the big surprise because a lot of other properly-functioning agencies use investigative aides in assisting detectives with clerical stuff, criminal analysis, review, etc. one of the downsides of giving 1,100+ detectives many thousand dollar raises is it costs city hall millions more per year to staff the d-unit- plus OT... why hire more detectives, when you can hire 100 civilians (a lot of them being retired detectives) to help them do their job at 30-50k less per year. </span><br /></div></li></ul><p style="text-align: justify;">The politicians have wanted to go this way for a long time. And we remember specifically the "efficiency experts" coming in for couple of weeks back in the early 2000s. One week was all Front Office stuff and the other was operations. We thought for sure they were going to gut the admin staff at the District level, but it never seemed to get off the ground.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">We're thinking with the increasingly bad manpower shortages, this is going to force their hand at some point to get sworn personnel on the street (see below).</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i>(and yes, we're aware of contractual bid spots. we're also aware of the city violating the contract at least three-thousand times over the course of our careers)</i><br /></p>SCChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10974474509296396737noreply@blogger.com133tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13350456.post-27559710071108040472024-03-26T00:04:00.036-05:002024-03-26T00:04:00.131-05:00Falling on Swords<p style="text-align: justify;">In a truly just system, <b><u><a href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2024/03/25/parole-official-quits-after-approving-release-of-felon-who-then-stabbed-ex-girlfriend-killed-her-11-year-old-son">these corrupt f#$%ers would be facing jail time and ruinous punitive damages</a></u></b>:</p><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li><p><i>The chairman and another member of the state’s parole board have resigned in light of <a class="Link" data-cms-ai="0" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2024/03/15/pregnant-woman-denied-emergency-protection-order-before-stabbed-11-year-old-son-killed" target="_blank">the board’s controversial decision to release a convicted felon</a> who then allegedly stabbed a pregnant former girlfriend and killed her 11-year-old son just a day after leaving prison.</i></p><p><i>Pritzker
