Settlement Stalls

Probably a temporary setback:

  • Amid heavy opposition, a City Council committee on Monday did not vote on a controversial $1.25 million settlement that would have compensated the family of Dexter Reed, who was shot to death by police officers after Reed shot and wounded one of them during a traffic stop.

    “It was held. I think the majority present are ‘no’'votes,” Ald. Ray Lopez (15th) wrote in a text message to the Sun-Times.

    Ald. Anthony Napolitano (41st) said he, too, is “hearing” the settlement was pulled for lack of votes.

    Ald. Matt O’Shea (19th) has condemned the settlement for the “dangerous” message it sends to Chicago Police Department officers, His Far South Side ward is home to scores of Chicago Police officers, and O’Shea, too, is “guessing” that the settlement was held because the Johnson administration was uncertain it had the votes to pass it.

    Ald. Chris Taliaferro (29th), the former CPD sergeant now chairing the Council’s Police Committee said he is “not sure” why the Reed settlement was held, but “I assume there are still a lot of questions and concerns that my colleagues have.”

    But Ald. Carlos Ramirez-Rosa (35th), Mayor Brandon Johnson’s former Council floor leader, supports the settlement and calls Monday’s development a temporary setback.

After all, the commie/progressive/anti law and order assholes are still going to push this. We can only hope that a few of them become victims of the criminals they're supporting.

And to all the shitheads like Ramirez-Rosa saying the stop never should have occurred in the first place, the proper venue to address anything "unjustified" - real or imaginary - is the Courts, not via gunfire.

Blago Pardoned

The Illinois/Sparkelfart deep state hooked him up for daring to do what Illinois pols have been doing for years - selling access:

  • President Donald Trump issued a full and unconditional pardon to Rod Blagojevich Monday, after commuting the Democratic former Illinois governor’s 14-year sentence for political corruption charges during his first term.

    “It’s my honor to do it,” Trump said. “I’ve watched him. He was set up by a lot of bad people.”

    The Republican president called the Democratic former governor, who once appeared on Trump’s reality TV show “Celebrity Apprentice,” “a very fine person” and said the conviction and prison sentence “shouldn’t have happened.”

Blago was not that fine a person, but he was better than almost anyone else on those wiretaps and mostly got in trouble when he wouldn't bend to Sparklefart pressure. We still think he should have named names and written a tell-all book to really gut the Machine.

Interesting Proposal

An odd idea:

  • Cook County’s new state’s attorney is proposing a new law that would help people charged with illegally possessing firearms get a license so they can own the weapons legally. Eileen Burke’s office revealed the idea on Friday.

    First-time gun offenders charged with a low-level firearms violation could “get into compliance with the law” if they complete a diversion program under the proposal, according to the announcement. Anyone accused of possessing machine guns, an increasingly common situation in Chicago, would not be eligible.

So instead of forever forfeiting the Right to legally own a gun upon conviction, the CCSA would have an education class and walk people through the process to obtain an FOID card? Will they be returning the seized firearm that resulted in charges or are they making people (and folks) buy another one through lawful channels to collect tax revenue and another off-the-books registry? 

And does this have anything to do with the second or third recent loss regarding the FOID card

No Where is Safe

016 used to be the safest part of Chicago.

Used to be (door bell camera shot, courtesy of a reader):


That's a catalytic converter thief on Beat 1611. There were three and all had rifles. 1611 is almost as far north and west as you can go in the city, surrounded by Niles and Park Ridge, full of million dollar single family homes and thousands of city workers.

And the District is about two-hundred Officers short of authorized strength.

Suggestions Needed

Back in the days of GMac, when he was trying to institute a strict version of CompStat with which to beat and bully the exempt staff, a certain supervisor decided to "borrow" an idea from New York and started a CompStat Bingo game (click for larger version):

We think this is the CPD CompStat version....you get the idea.

You might also be aware of a drinking game where people watch a TV show or speech or debate and take a shot every time a certain word of phrase is spoken, and that gave us an idea.

Conehead is going to appear before Congress on 05 March. What we need is a bingo card, hopefully 5x5, with certain words of phrases Conehead uses and can be checked off during his testimony. We've got a basic idea for a few:

  • racism
  • teachers/CTU
  • black wife and 3 black children
  • DEI (or individually diversity, equity, inclusion)
  • community (fill in the blank) 
  • west side
  • Sparklefarts / Obama
  • progressive
  • immigrants

Ideally, there would be a couple versions of this Bingo card. 

Unfortunately, people would have to watch CSPAN for a few hours to play properly and win.

Maybe it's a bad idea, but we'll take suggestions in the comments for Conehead Words and Phrases. 

UPDATE: How did we forget "raggedy"???

An Actual Good Idea

And from California of all places:

  • Sacramento County Sheriff Jim Cooper announced Tuesday that deputies will no longer respond to non-criminal mental health calls, citing a recent federal court ruling that removes qualified immunity for officers in such cases, CBS News reported.

    The policy change follows the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision in Scott v. Smith, which stemmed from a 2019 Las Vegas incident where Roy Scott, experiencing hallucinations, called 911 for help, according to the report. Responding officers used force, leading to Scott’s unconsciousness and later death. The court ruled that the force used was unreasonable and questioned whether officers should have been involved at all, as no crime had been committed.

    “We deal with crime, not mental health crises,” Cooper stated.

After all, progressives have been demanding "mental health responders" for years now. Might as well save taxpayers money and start sending them instead of cops.

Just make sure their life insurance policies are all up-to-date.

Finally

Criminal held to account!

  • It took the system three years to convict Emonte Morgan of killing Chicago Police Officer Ella French during a 2021 traffic stop. And it took the system even longer to convict his mother of resisting police and trespassing at a hospital in the days after the shooting. But, finally, at long last, her case is resolved, too.

Multiple battery, trespassing, resisting charges, a bench warrant and over a year on the run , what crushing penalty was assessed against this waste of oxygen?

  • [Judge] Lopez granted her a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered her to pay a $514 fine, perform 50 hours of community service, and undergo an anger management evaluation. If Flores completes all of the requirements, the case will be dismissed.

Wow. Must be nice to be a ghetto piece of shit raising another ghetto piece of shit and never be held to account.

Homeless Encampment Fires

Isn't it great that taxpayers and their children can't use the parks that their taxes pay for?

  • Ongoing safety concerns about the homeless encampment at Gompers Park, 4222 W. Foster Ave., could lead to the relocation of youth baseball and softball games planned for the renovated field at the park’s south end, where three tent fires have been reported since Jan. 30.

    The Gompers Park Athletic Association has informed member families that its 2025 games and practices scheduled for “Little Gompers” (the park’s south end) could be relocated due to the encampment. “To be clear, Gompers Park Athletic Association will not be using the field at Little Gompers if the tents are not moved prior to the start of the season and the city does not keep them from returning to our park,” the association wrote in a letter to families. The association explained that if needed games would be relocated, not canceled, due to the proximity of the encampment to the field.

    The baseball field was the recipient of a $150,000 improvement grant, courtesy of the 39th Ward Alderman Samantha Nugent’s participatory budget vote. Many, if not all, of those improvements have been made.

So an extra $150K - in addition to regular property tax levy - and kids can't play ball there. Not to mention the THREE fires in nine days, sucking up untold CFD resources, and then the additional money given away to replace the stuff that burned up, because you can't have homeless people suffer consequences  of their bad decisions. Plus all the homeless fleas, lice and bedbugs.....the mind boggles.

Hey, shouldn't there be a whole bunch of farm jobs opening up? The democrats are asking who's going to harvest crops without illegal aliens here. Now's the chance for these homeless leeches to get jobs. But they better hurry before those 5,000 former fbi employees beat them to the punch.

Felon Died, Family Sued and Lost

Her parents named her what now?

  • The CTA was found not liable in the death of a woman who was struck and killed by a Red Line train in 2019 after she went onto the tracks to retrieve a cellphone she dropped, an appellate court ruled.

    Felon Smith, 37, dropped her phone on the tracks at the 69th Street Red Line station in Englewood on June 27, 2019, and climbed off the platform to get it. She was struck by a northbound Red Line train and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Felon? Interesting choice.

Here's a question though:

  • the Appellate Court bought the CTA argument that they shouldn't be held liable for the actions of a criminal trespasser. The lower court had already decided that the security guard on the platform couldn't be held liable and that the engineer was free of blame seeing as how the Laws of Physics, Velocity and Momentum were still in existence.
  • So why can't Officers enjoy that standard? Whereby persons who willfully violate the Criminal Code are held responsible for their actions that injure or kill bystanders or damage property, especially when the Officers are ordered and empowered by State Law to enforce said laws?

We get sued taking police action. We get sued for not taking police action. We get sued when it goes sideways....and even when it doesn't. Intent doesn't even come into play and the oversight agencies willfully disregard Supreme Court rulings constantly.

But the CTA can go around running over people all the time and no one is held responsible.

(that last line is sarcasm for the short bus people)

Florida of all places:

  • A man was arrested after his alleged involvement in a drug deal led to him being chased on horseback through the streets of Jacksonville.

    According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, Jordan Wilson, 25, tried to make a run for it after an officer witnessed him handing off illegal drugs.

    Video shows Officer Cassie Haire atop Police Service Horse Nash, galloping into action as they chase Wilson through a traffic light on a busy street.

    Officer Haire stayed on his tail for a quarter-mile before Wilson surrendered.

    According to deputies, he was booked and charged with resisting an officer without violence.

A couple of questions:

  • Damage to Horse report? Just in case;
  • lasso or saber? Ghengis Khan smiles;
  • is there any footage of a PIT maneuver with a horse?

That would be AWESOME!

As an added bonus, what jury is going to find against a horse chasing down a criminal?

Thirteen Arrests in One Year

Another example of what Conehead and Fata$$ are protecting:

  • Santiago Josue Baragas Rodriguez, a Venezuelan migrant arrested 13 times in a year, received the old “good news, bad news” treatment at the 26th and California courthouse on Thursday.

    The good news? A judge gave him probation for trying to rob a woman in Streeterville in November. The bad news (for him): Since he pleaded guilty, he’s now eligible for deportation.

And if he isn't in Federal custody, on a plane by Monday morning, Border Czar Homan ought to be frog-marching a number of city, county and state officials into custody.

Machine Guns Coming Back

Liberal heads will be exploding....figuratively of course:

  • A U.S. District Court in Mississippi dismissed a machine gun possession charge, citing it didn't jibe with American history and tradition regarding the right to keep and bear arms. 

    The ruling came this week in the case of the U.S. vs Justin Bryce Brown, with Brown challenging his machine gun possession charge. As he had never been previously convicted of a felony, he argued that the Second Amendment protected him from criminal prosecution under the federal government's statutes. U.S. District Judge Carlton W. Reeves, a 2010 appointment to the federal bench by President Obama, agreed. 

    Citing the 2022 Bruen standard of a gun law being "consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation," Reeves dismissed the charge against Brown. 

    A similar unregistered machine gun possession case, that of Tamori Morgan – which was similarly tossed by a federal court in Kansas last August – though an outlier that is under further appeal by the Justice Department, was also referenced by Reeves in his decision on Brown, saying, "But outliers can nevertheless be instructive and correct, so long as they are faithful applications of the law."

That's two cases in short order restoring Rights long suppressed by democrats, commies and fascists, this time by a Sparklefart-appointed judge who actually seems to understand what the Supreme Court ruled in Bruen. Who would have expected that?

As Many Have Said....

....a lot of questions:

  • The cause of death remains unknown for a Chicago police officer found fatally shot Wednesday in Garfield Ridge, officials said Thursday.

    The 27-year-old officer was found dead inside her home with a gunshot wound to her head, according to Chicago police. A death investigation is underway.

    A Thursday autopsy was inconclusive and pending a police investigation, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

And this info....seriously?

  • Over police radio, dispatchers told responding officers “girlfriend hit her head.” A dispatcher then said, “they’re doing CPR on her,” asking that an officer go to the scene to “make sure everything is OK.”

Resolve that paragraph with the second paragraph.

And added to the stress in 006, no one knows if the commander might actually show up at services this time around.

Another Payout

Another "deep pocket" lawsuit that's going to be used to beat the CPD over the head with for the next thirty years:

  • Yet another high-speed Chicago police chase gone bad will prove costly — this one with a proposed $27 million settlement.

    The money would go to the family of Angela Parks, a single working mother of five who was rendered a quadriplegic, then died 18 months later — at age 45 — after being struck by the passenger door of a Jeep that Chicago Police Department officers were pursuing because they believed it had been stolen.

    Parks was a counselor for the Chicago Housing Authority. At the time of the Aug. 21, 2020, accident, she was on her second job, moonlighting as census-taker.

There's a lot of questionable accusations made by the liar lawyer that will never be answered regarding chase policy, officer actions, etc. 

But:

  • if the criminals didn't commit crimes, there'd be no pursuit;
  • if the criminals didn't flee, there'd be no injuries;
  • if the criminals didn't drive up toward the curb, open the door to leap out of a moving vehicle - in effect creating a 4,000 pound unguided missile - there'd be no lawsuit;
  • if there were no lawyers, the world would be a much happier place, too. 

In any even, we repeat, stop chasing....forever.

Fata$$ Gets His Wish

This was the large story yesterday:

  • The Trump administration has filed suit against the state of Illinois, Cook County and the city of Chicago, arguing their sanctuary laws “interfere” with Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s ability to arrest and deport illegal migrants — the first of many such lawsuits to come, Justice Department officials told The Post.

    The suit singles out several state and local laws that the Justice Department identifies as inhibiting the federal government’s ability to enforce US immigration law.

    “We’ve identified Illinois, the city of Chicago and Cook County as all having laws and ordinances on the books that impede federal immigration enforcement, in particular the Chicago Welcoming ordinance, the Illinois Trust Act,” a DOJ official said.

So instead of trying to competently run the city, county and state, our homegrown assholes will be posing for cameras, holding pressers and insisting that illegal aliens should be treated better than citizens or anyone who went through the correct channels to be here.

The government has been readying Guantanamo for up to 30,000 illegals. Certainly they could spare a few cells for Fatass - he could work on his tan and sweat off a few pounds

Trial Still Ongoing

Is this jury sequestered? Are they in a five-star hotel or something?

  • The jury in former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan's federal corruption trial went home without a verdict for the seventh day Thursday.

    There was again radio silence, with no notes at all coming from jurors, whose last communication to the court was on Tuesday. Even that was only regarding scheduling.

    If not for an unrelated sentencing hearing, courtroom 1203 remained mostly empty Thursday, as a jury of eight women and four men have now spent around 43 hours over seven days deliberating Madigan's fate.

There was a rumor somewhere that a jury member had some third or fourth hand connection to a Madigan associate a couple weeks back. Nothing came of it and the jury instructions were issued, so jeopardy has fully attached at this point. 

Either the jury is being really really thorough (but as the article says, "no notes" coming from the jury room) or there's a holdout or two, one way or the other.

United to Fly Away?

Another potentially massive hit to the tax base:

  • United Airlines has sent another signal about a potential move of its corporate headquarters from Chicago to Denver. 

    In a new filing with the City of Denver, United said it may eventually build more than 1 million square feet of office space to accommodate more than 6,000 employees on land it purchased in 2023 near the Denver airport. United employs nearly 5,000 corporate employees in Chicago.

So Conehead and Fata$$ are again failing to promote a business friendly environment to keep tax generating companies from either coming to or remaining in Chicago. Not a smart business decision.

Has everyone been paying attention to Delaware? The most "business-friendly" state in the union where 60%+ of Fortune 500 companies incorporate....and pay taxes. A libtard judge overruled two different Tesla stockholder votes regarding Elon Musk's contractual salary.

Result? An exodus of corporations who want to avoid having their companies run by activist judges, which is of course, affecting the Delaware tax base, 25% or more of which is corporate taxes. Who's going to make up that shortfall? Looking at you middle-class families!

Conehead's ignoring crime issues and Fata$$ failing to follow the lead of every other state in the Midwest in trying to increase revenues via better regulations, less government interference and an attractive climate to do business are making companies and people leave even faster. 

You even have another blue city/blue state luring businesses away.

Die Faster Please

The Contrarian has a new post up about the "Decline and Fall of the Chicago [Slum] Times." There's a linked "fund-raising video" that features two people - wife beater Steinberg and racist grievance-monger Moperah:

  • "The Sun-Times, I think, is an attitude," columnist Neil Steinberg is heard saying about journalism in the 30-second fundraising video that non-subscribers are compelled to endure so they can read an article on the Chicago Sun-Times’ website.

    Steinberg is an appropriate representative for the Sun-Times. An irritable and haughty liberal with a checkered personal life, it's understandable that the video — which at first was only 15 seconds long — is unlikely to be an effective fundraising tool.

    Only two people speak in the video. Steinberg, who is 64, and the recently retired Mary Mitchell, who is further to the left of Steinberg, is 70.

Not the two we'd put on camera if we were soliciting money from normal people, but from elderly boomer libtards who believe their bullshit....well, everyone knows progressives don't have money.  

The article explores how the Sun Times failed - and continues to fail - to adapt to the new realities of information and how instead, they hung their hat on a "scoop" involving CPD Officers who were (A) exercising their Right to freely associate with others off-duty or (B) who got roped into an email list under exaggerated circumstances over a philosophy that two hacks found objectionable in the new progressive era....the progressive era that's currently burning to the ground.

National Scandals Abound

A couple huge stories yesterday, and the media seems to have missed them all.

The DOGE people uncovered the scandal of the last generation taking our tax money and sending it to an government agency called USAID. Click on any of the links on the right hand side and read pieces outlining how the money-laundering of tax money funds pretty much any left wing NGO, including salaries running into the millions. It's collapsing at a stunning rate.

The same DOGE geniuses then decided to run fbi payroll data through a data filter and guess what they discovered?

  • There are hundreds of FBI Special Agents, Supervisory Special Agents and leaders that were drawing full salaries from two or more federal agencies. Pay attention to CIA for example.

Double dipping - that's illegal and prosecutable. More evidence that the fbi is entirely corrupt top-to-bottom. The main reason almost no one was blowing the whistle was because everyone wanted to move up the payola ladder.

And bad news for Conehead - that budget just got a lot tighter - tighter than Fata$$'s zippers and buttons:

  • Attorney General Pam Bondi will issue several major directives on her first day leading the Justice Department, including orders to combat the weaponization of the legal system; make prosecutors seek the death penalty when appropriate; and work with the Department of Homeland Security to "completely eliminate" cartels and transnational criminal organizations....

    [....]

    And as for illegal migrants, Bondi has directed the DOJ to pause all federal funding for sanctuary cities. Bondi also has directed the DOJ to identify and evaluate all funding agreements with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that provide support to illegal aliens.

All those church groups using shuttered buildings for boatloads of illegals and then applying for money to feed/clothe/house them (likely from the corrupted, now defunded USAID people) are now going to have to either divert Sunday collection money to their "mission," sell those vacant buildings and schools, or knock that shit off and start serving their members.

Interesting times, indeed.

Shooting Video Released

And ::SURPRISE!!:: it shows that the media ran with unsubstantiated claims that Officers arrived on scene, wild-eyed, guns drawn, looking for blood, screaming, "Where's that guy we're going to kill?!?!"

  • Officials released Chicago police body camera video of CPD officers fatally shooting a man who confronted them with a knife during a domestic altercation call. Timothy Glaze, 58, was killed around 2:10 a.m. on January 5 at a senior apartment building in the 3000 block of West 21st Place.

    [...]

    “You come into a senior citizen home, why would you come in with guns drawn in a senior home?” asked Charles Odum, a resident of the building and an “activist” with the Union to End Slums, shortly after the shooting. The video shows the officers did not have their guns drawn until they encountered Glaze with a knife.

Conehead Locates Testicles

They were in a jar, in a closet, next to the room that holds all those "gifts" that he wouldn't account for to the Inspector General:

  • After some initial hesitation, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has agreed to testify before Congress about Chicago’s “sanctuary city” policies and their effect on immigration enforcement.

    Johnson will participate in the March 5 hearing of the Republican-led House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. He and three other big city mayors, all Democrats, had been asked to appear.

    All four preside over so-called “sanctuary cities,” and the request stems from an investigation into how local policies are affecting enforcement of President Donald Trump’s promise of “mass deportations.”

He won't answer any substantive. He also won't answer any local reporters trying to figure out how he spent $500 million on illegals while attempting to raise taxes to cover a budget shortfall of double that.

Accountability Pending

If you've been following events in Washington DC the past three weeks, you know that Trump is taking a wrecking ball to the administrative (Deep) state and saving taxpayers billions of dollars already. You can tell it's working because the media - which would be using a term like "housecleaning" if Kamala was in charge - keeps using the word "purge" instead.

Many (if not most) of these changes, layoffs and firings involve the Executive Branch, which is the purview of the President and the President alone. There is no "independence" in the Executive Branch, which by design is answerable to the President.

You want to see the arrogance of certain federal employees?

  • Two sets of [fbi] agents who worked on cases stemming from the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol — as well as the criminal investigations of President Donald Trump — have filed lawsuits to block Justice Department leadership from assembling lists of agents they say will be used as part of a retaliation campaign.

    The agents, who brought the federal suits anonymously, say they’re fearful that Justice Department leadership intends to publicly identify them and make them targets of threats and harassment. One suit, brought by the [fbi] Agents Association, points to calls by Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio to punish an [fbi] agent involved in his seditious conspiracy prosecution related to the Jan. 6 attack.

    “This bell cannot be unrung, and once the Plaintiffs’ personal information is released it will be eternally available on social media,” attorneys for the unnamed agents argue in the suit.

The fbi figures they shouldn't have to answer to the Department of Justice, which is in their direct chain-of-command, ending at the White House? Are they fucking serious? Welcome to the "invisible institute" you morons.

About three hours after the above article appeared, the fbi capitulated:

  • FBI officials have complied with demands to provide the Justice Department with details of thousands of employees who worked on investigations related to the January 6, 2021, US Capitol riot, according to people familiar with the situation.

    The demand has caused consternation among FBI employees who fear it is meant to amass a list of personnel for possible termination by the Trump administration.

Boo-fucking-hoo. The list turns out to contain 5,000 names. Just so readers know, there are 13,000 fbi "agents" among 38,000 total fbi employees. So roughly 13% of the fbi was "investigating" cases of Criminal Trespass. This doesn't cover the other "investigations" of parents attending school board meetings, protestors picketing abortion clinics, improperly raiding the former President's home to plant evidence, or Roman Catholics attending Latin masses.

While unknown numbers of terrorists entered the country, tranny shooters wreaked their own havoc, rioters looted/burned American cities, police stations and federal buildings, three-hundred-thousand children got trafficked across the border, and Chinese espionage hit record levels, the fbi morphed into the East German Stasi - manufacturing evidence, falsifying legal documents, carrying out illegal surveillances of political foes, and committing blatant perjury at FISA courts.

It's far past time to hold these stooges accountable to the chain-of-command, downsizing the entire organization, and bringing their excesses to heel. "I was just following orders" doesn't - and never should - excuse it. And spare us the bullshit that it wasn't the "ground level" agents doing all this. Can anyone cite the waves of agents resigning or whistleblowers who came forward? There weren't more than couple dozen who stood their ground. Hell, there were more cops here resisting COVID jabs than there were feebs resisting the KGB-tactics in DC.

What do you call 5,000 fbi employees in the unemployment line? A good start.

Exempt Brain Trust

This is what happens when you put crooked IAD assholes in charge of stuff:

  • An investigation into the constitutionality of Chicago police raids on an unlicensed Far South Side strip club and another building in April 2023 found that a district commander cracked down on those locations at the request of an alderman — and broke numerous rules in the process, records show.

    Tyrone Pendarvis, commander of the Calumet District on the Far South Side, retired in August 2024, more than a year after one of his officers came forward to complain about those searches. During the early morning raids, that officer was recorded on his body-worn camera asking a fellow cop, “Is this illegal?”

    “No, we good, we with 500,” the other officer replied, referring to the code number for Pendarvis.

    The Civilian Office of Police Accountability, in a report completed in November, said if Pendarvis hadn’t retired, the agency would have recommended he be fired for violating numerous department rules. COPA also recommended Sgt. [JC], working with Pendarvis that day, should be suspended for up to 180 days and undergo training on legally executing searches.

The sergeant gets half-a-year, meaning a financial hit of over $60K and his insurance lapses, though perhaps better than a punitive damages judgement.

Guess who Pendarvis used for his illegal raids?

  • [Lt] Kimble said he thought Pendarvis chose young and inexperienced officers who would be unlikely to challenge his direct orders because they could be disciplined for doing so.

Gee....like tack-tickle officers being told to get blue cards without writing a single ticket for the observed violations because blah blah blah....you know the drill.

And speaking of IAD, what's with letting Yoyolanda administer the Oath at the graduation the other day? Did the Oath cover lending your car to dope dealers so they could transport heroin?

Groot Policy Dead

Good news:


Compensate everyone who was suspended, anyone still at callback returned to full duty, discipline revoked from personnel files and any exempt who ordered/participated in this blatantly unconstitutional and illegal policy demoted and fired.

Update on Garbageman Shooting

Seems this pair was wanted in Oak Park for a string of burglaries:

  • On 01/31/2025 at approximately 2:55AM Oak Brook Police officers responded to York Woods subdivision for a delayed suspicious incident report. While enroute to the area officers located a dark colored Nissan Rogue with Indiana registration; and a Hyundai Sonata with Illinois registration later to be determined stolen from the 100 block of Sheffield exiting the subdivision.

    [...]

    The Oak Brook Police Department was notified by the Chicago Police Department of an incident involving the Nissan Rogue in their jurisdiction shortly after the Oak Brook incident. The two male occupants of the Nissan Rogue attempted an Armed Robbery of a Sanitation Service employee in Chicago later that morning. The victim in that case is a CCL holder who shot both offenders during the Armed Robbery attempt.

So this garbageman should be getting presented with the keys to two cities for clearing up a string of crimes.

Broken System

We took out most of the personal info - click for a larger version of this rip job:

Well someone had a big ol' bowl of "DILLIGAF?" for breakfast. 

This has been true on this Department for a long time ("Hey kid, what you got? Nope.") It isn't all the Detectives' fault. We got a number of things through with their assistance and we also had what we thought were pretty good things shot down by something we overlooked or weren't able to sew up. 

A lot of what ails the system came from the State's Attorney's office/Felony Review who tried every case over the phone before the arrestee even got his first baloney sandwich. It was worse under Crimesha than it was under O'Malley, Devine or Alvarez.

As we see, the rot became ingrained there first and migrated over to the Detective Division as the older detectives who wanted to help you do better, left. The newer detectives saw cases weren't going anywhere anyway so it was easier to shelve/downgrade/discourage prosecution for felonies. They weren't paid by the case or the conviction rates after all.

All in all, further evidence of a broken system, pointed out by someone pissed off at what's happening.

Two Choices

  1. Stop no one or
  2. Ticket everyone

It pays to shoot at police it seems:

  • Chicago taxpayers are being asked to pay $1.25 million to compensate the family of Dexter Reed, who was shot to death by police officers last year after Reed shot and wounded one of them during a traffic stop.

    The settlement stems from an “unlawful and unconstitutional traffic stop” by a Chicago Police Department with a “history of these pretextual stops,” said Andrew Stroth, an attorney for the Reed family.

    The $1.25 million settlement includes “non-monetary relief for a family committed to reform,” said Stroth, who declined to spell out the specific reforms.

Yeah, because it's a money grab, and Conehead is probably getting a sizable contribution to his reelection fun.

  • “This case is about an unlawful and violent escalatory traffic stop in a city that has a pattern and practice of these types of discriminatory, pretextual stops,” Stroth told the Sun-Times on Monday.

    In a pretexual stop, officers use some minor offense, like a traffic violation, as a pretense to look for more serious things, like guns or drugs.

"Pretexual" is the progressive buzzword for "police stops WE don't like because WE don't have to follow the rules of a civilized society." 

A"minor offense" is still a violation of the law and subject to a traffic stop. Looking for something beyond the stop is just good police work, because people who ignore the little things (valid plates, stickers, licenses, cracked windows, tints, unsafe vehicle conditions, stop signs, etc) tend to ignore bigger things, too, like drug and gun laws. A good cop will make observations, gather info and ask questions that will reveal more information.....or at least they used to.

  • The officers opened fire after Reed fired first, striking one of five tactical officers in his hand. All of the officers were dressed in plainclothes and were piled into a single SUV. In the days and hours leading up to Reed’s death, those same five officers conducted 50 traffic stops on Chicago’s West Side. None of those 50 stops generated a single citation.

Because that's what they were told to do - the Sparklefart TSSSSSSS cards to prove that cops were observing minor infractions, stopping the offenders, BUT NOT CITING THEM BECAUSE WRITING 50 TICKETS TO MINORITY DRIVERS (in a neighborhood that is 99% minority) WOULD BE RACIST, not to mention financially burdensome and Lord knows, we can't use lawfully authorized fines to correct misbehavior the way the legislature intended.

So the lesson to be learned is:

  1. stop no one, even if hte commander threatens you with going back into uniform or having to work midnights until you get some actual seniority or
  2. write everyone and be labeled as racist, because the minute you get shot and justifiably return fire, you'll be crucified in the media, railroaded by CuckFopa, and sold out by Conehead.

Fuck Conehead.

Library Collapsing

Kind of symbolic of the entire Sparklefart legacy when you think about it:

  • A federal lawsuit reviewed by Newsweek alleges that a company involved in constructing the Obama Presidential Center subjected a Chicago-based Black American-owned subcontractor to "baseless criticism and defamatory and discriminatory accusations" and blamed the company for construction delays.

    "In a shocking and disheartening turn of events, the African American owner of a local construction company finds himself and his company on the brink of forced closure because of racial discrimination by the structural engineer of record (Thornton Tomasetti) for the construction of The Obama Presidential Center," the case reads.

As far as we can tell, the structural engineer - who has to inspect and verify the structure won't collapse - alleges that the concrete work is subpar, improper and outside industry specs. We don't know much about concrete work, but....

....we're pretty sure that a brand new building that hasn't even opened yet shouldn't have concrete slabs cracking like that.

The only "good" news is that the $500 million project - currently sitting at $830 million and likely to top a billion dollars - is paid for by donations of people attempting to buy favors from Sparklefarts, and not taxpayers.

241 Graduates

Well, not really. Because 75% of those PPO's have already been in the districts for a few months:

  • Several promotions were also celebrated Monday: one deputy chief, one captain, 17 lieutenants, 80 sergeants, 18 field training officers and 80 detectives.

The 80 sergeants, 18 FTO's and 80 detectives all came from the rank of.....Patrolman! Meaning the 241 graduates suddenly becomes a net gain of 63, less than 3 PPO's per District on average - just under one-per-watch.

Things are looking up!

Meanwhile the exit door has been spinning steadily. We're told that this summer will be the biggest exodus of Officers in two decades. If something better comes along (suburban or out-of-state, federal or fire department jobs) we're going to lose even more. Twelve hour days are a real possibility moving forward along with personnel cuts - not at HQ though. No no no....they're going to cut the "quiet" Districts like 016, 017, 020, 022, 024 even more and to Hell with the aldercreatures and their constituents who protest..

Embracing Criminals

A couple days ago we wrote about Fata$$ banning J6 participants from state jobs, even though democrats have been the party of second-and-third chances, record expungement and constantly supporting criminals over decent people.

A commentator reminded us that Illinois regularly employs terrorists to teach their childen:

  • Funny FatAss has no problem with James Kilgore former member of the Symbianese Liberation Army and convicted 2nd. degree murderer teaching at the U of I at Champaign! Look him up on Wikipedia. A real piece of shit!

And it's 100% true. Here's the wikipedia entry about Kilgore's time on the run after participating in the Patty Hearst kidnapping, San Francisco bank robberies, and a bombing that killed a mother of four. After twenty-seven years on the run and six-plus years in prison, he landed a job at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana where he's been teaching since 2009.

Of course, the Illinois universities have a history of employing terrorists, like Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground working at UIC and his wife Bernadine Dohrn down the road at Northwestern.

Fata$$ doesn't have a problem with any of them we noticed, probably because their democrats and communists, but we repeat ourselves. They love their criminals.

010 Shooting

Not a good weekend for criminals on the west side. First a garbage man shoots two armed robbers (video here via CWB website) and then a Burglary in Progress turns into a running gun battle, and a 10-1:

  • Officers responded to a call of a robbery in the 1800 block of South Ridgeway Avenue at 10:47 a.m. where they saw a man who they pursued on foot, police said. The man exchanged gunfire with police at multiple locations, and the man was wounded.

    The man was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died, police said. The officers were also taken to a nearby hospital for observation, and a weapon was recovered at the scene.

There's video of this shooting, too, thanks to ring doorbell cams in the neighborhood. From what we can gather, the guy was climbing in a window from a ladder when confronted by 010 Officers. He shot at them, resulting in the 10-1 and subsequent foot chase. Numerous units from the radio zone responded and a plain clothes unit exchanged gunfire with the subject.

CuckFOPA will be attempting to railroad the involved Officers for not deescalating the situation to the point everyone could just hug it out, apologize for the misunderstanding and everyone goes home to dinner.

We're told Conehead is cutting a check for the dead shithead as we type.

Another?

Rumors of another Officer attempting (succeeding?) self-harm yesterday.

Garfield Ridge neighborhood is all we have.

This really needs addressing - it's becoming far too routine.

Crime is Up?

"Crime is a Rollercoaster" might be a better philosophy for the statistic people:

  • January 2025: 42 killed, 110 wounded 
  • January 2024: 38 killed, 122 wounded

That's an 11% rise in homicides - double digits!

But Larritorious and Conehead will point to the 10% decrease in shootings. 

As usual, all crime stats via HeyJackass.com, the only source of actual numbers.

Why don't we have any of these?

Seriously....a CFD Mustang? Who's driving these, Battalion Chiefs?

Bought or leased?

Meanwhile, remember what the guys on the north side are driving:

More Lawsuits Inbound (UPDATE)

Even his own people are telling him there will be lawsuits:

  • Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is blocking those who took part in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol from working in state jobs, ignoring President Donald Trump's attempt to offer them a clean slate last week in a sweeping set of pardons and commutations.

    Late Thursday, Pritzker directed the state’s Department of Central Management Services, the state’s primary hiring authority, to restrict hiring of those who took part in the attack on the Capitol by declaring they had taken part in “infamous and disgraceful conduct that is antithetical to the mission of the State.”

"...the State."  We remember hearing that a lot when the USSR was still in business.

In the meantime, a few points:

  • no one was convicted of insurrection or treason - it was mostly trespassing;
  • a pardon wipes out the criminal conviction completely;
  • this will affect at most a couple dozen people

And isn't it democrats - especially Illinois democrats who are always saying criminals need second and third chances, good paying employment, and actually hold seminars where those "justice system involved individuals" can apply to have their records expunged, sealed and erased?

But Fata$$ would rather waste taxpayer money on a losing proposition.

UPDATE: from the comments:

  • I wonder if Jumbo and his sidekick Attorney General Kwame Raoul have bothered to read the Illinois Human Rights Act. It prevents discrimination against people for a host of reasons among them are ARREST RECORDS.

But no one from the media will ever question Fata$$ about directly violating Illinois Law and the legislature will never find him liable.

Nationwide Body Cam Victories

Remember when we were all hesitant about body cameras? They've been a help in many shootings despite the obvious shortcomings of only providing one direction of reference, but multiple cameras can alleviate some of that.

Truth be told, they've revealed quite a bit about the people cops end up stopped - especially politicians:

As suspected, a democrat.

Same with this one:

  • A longtime New Jersey politician unleashed a profanity-laden rant at a cop for pulling him over last month — telling the officer that he’s his “boss,” body cam footage shows.

    Paulsboro Councilman Theodore D. Holloway tore into the local cop after being flagged for allegedly running a stop sign near Penn Line Road and West Adams Street just after 10 p.m. on Jan. 4, according to footage obtained by Fox News Digital. Holloway, who has served the borough for 12 years, initially appeared bewildered by the cop — who appeared to recognize the councilman — but quickly reverted to ripping into him.

    “I’m the one that brought you on! I put you on!” Holloway yells at the camera before threatening to call Police Chief Gary Kille, the footage shows. “I’m the one that hired you! You actually pulled over an elected official. … You’re pulling over your boss. I’m literally your boss.”

Actually, if the cop is a taxpayer, he's your boss CouncilAss.

So people complain cops aren't doing enough....then when they do to someone connected, they're ripped for that, too. But cameras give everyone the opportunity to see what's going on.

Dart Backtracking?

This popped up the other day:

  • An organization that helps citizens obtain public records is demanding State of Illinois and county officials release details on how many and which illegal aliens with immigration detainers are currently in their custody.

    On Wednesday, the Coalition Opposing Government Secrecy (COGS) sent Freedom of Information Act requests to Illinois state prisons and county jails asking for copies of records on illegal aliens committed to their facilities that are the subject of a detainer order.

    At the order of Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, Illinois law enforcement officials have been keeping secret details of illegal aliens they have arrested and for which crimes, as well as whether they remain in state custody.

This was about the time that Fata$$, Turban and Duckworthless started backtracking and claiming Illinois didn't want criminals! Just regular ol' illegals.

Dart didn't want to be left out:

  • The Cook County Sheriff’s Office issued a statement that reports of it refusing requests from federal authorities seeking entry into the jail are not true, according to a statement on the sheriff’s official Facebook page.

    Further, the sheriff’s maintains there is nothing preventing federal officials from picking up detainees in custody that have federal criminal warrants “as they have done countless times, as recently as Monday.”

"See Mr President? I'm cooperating....it's just all that darned paperwork! But if you have whatever I need to keep Prickwrinkle and Fata$$ off my butt, I'll give you all the illegals aliens you want!"
