Ongoing Investigation

  • Multiple Chicago police employees are under investigation for allegedly engaging in a widespread cover-up to protect then-Supt. Eddie Johnson and conceal the circumstances surrounding an Oct. 17 drinking and driving incident that Mayor Lori Lightfoot says Johnson lied about, prompting her to fire him weeks before his retirement.

    Johnson was found slumped over in his police SUV at around 12:30 a.m. that day, near the 3400 block of South Aberdeen — after dismissing his driver and trying to drive himself home.

    The alleged cover-up took place “that night and the next day” and could end up being “even worse than” the incident itself, said a source familiar with Inspector General Joseph Ferguson’s ongoing investigation.
And the narrative of Special Ed's transgressions are getting worse by the minute:
  • Rather than having “a couple of drinks” during a “dinner with friends,” as Johnson told the mayor, sources said the now-former superintendent spent three hours drinking at Ceres Cafe — a restaurant known for pouring large drinks to patrons from the nearby Chicago Board of Trade — with a woman whom he had promoted to his security detail shortly after becoming the city’s top cop.

    Sources said Johnson and the woman, who has since been reassigned to another job in the police department, are seen on restaurant video kissing repeatedly.
What was that old nickname for HQ? Fort Fellatio? Seems like there's a whole lot of truth to that one.

So is the "on going" portion of the investigation focused on the:
  • alleged DUI?
  • the uniform store scandal?
  • the sex for inside-job trade off?
Because it seems like someone is unburdening their material by the truckload.

The POs that had the misfortune to get assigned this call will get pilloried, stripped and fired for doing what their bosses told them to do.
Meanwhile, the bosses, and the IAB investigators who didn’t go looking for the dash cam video until long after it was overwritten, will get a pass.

So technically he didn't lie. He had a couple of drinks ( although the pour at Ceres is like getting 8 drinks ) and he gave the driver the night off after he finished the monkey business with her. Wonder who the department cellphone belongs to that called 911. Then the goof bosses show up and tell the 2 year wonders to turn off the cameras and then later they delete the video. I wonder what's going to happen to the dumbasses that blue lighted it there for backup. Will this scenario be on the next sergeants exam ? Wont be surprised if they get busted for official misconduct while Eddie leaves with his pension. The coverup is always worse than the crime . Chicago's Finest .

Cynthia is a woman scorned and she had a front row seat to Eddie's corruption. A few coats, hats and equipment gets CUC a permanent table at the Academy and the monopoly on new uniform items. College buddies and former partners get Betts, Richards, Staples, KJohnsonX2, Spencer and other incompetents gold star promotions. Maybe making her a merit sergeant would have kept her loyal because a take home car, a job with no responsibilities or swiping wasn't enough. He shouldn't be surprised- he got his wife a promotion through the secret study group and she SUED for not getting made a commander. It's no wonder Cynthia is spilling her guts to save her own skin. Eddie will be lucky to escape without criminal charges.

Please tell me the rumor that Lemmer is leaving and compstat is done is true. That compstat charade is thee worst thing that’s happened to this department. The commanders are so afraid that their numbers might not be good enough or lower than previous years that they actually devote 06 teams to purely go out and get compstat numbers. It’s become crazy. Also, if u have issues with a way a district is handling things, how about stop in or call them up instead of putting the commanders and Lts in front of all the brass and playing gotcha with numbers and embarrassing them in front of all their peers. Isn’t that management 101? How has it become ok or standard practice to be doing this every week. There are great Lts that actually refuse to be the WOL’s for the sole reason that they don’t want to have to deal with compstat. End this nightmare already.

condition on transplanted organs is way too fragile, even if
you get a perfect genetic match. In fact, these people should
have MORE respect because the hospital has a whole
transplant team that counsels patients on the gravity. To
take an organ from a young man in the very prime of physical
condition is just a flat out crime. He ignored the TX Team, his
doctors, and most importantly, his FAMILY. This is a low IQ
nightmare. The biggest crime here? One you just can't

I’m a transplant patient myself and tell you the process to even be considered for a transplant is arduous. After multiple countless testing there is still no guarantee you will be listed. Then if you are there is no guarantee you’ll receive your call. I was called three times saying I was on standby . There was one organ available, it was designated for another hospital with a sicker patient. If that patient was not going to get it for countless reasons it would be mine. You, your family and friends wait sometimes up to 12 hours only to be told it’s not your time. The fourth time I was listed as patient number one. I was so sick I just wanted to die. I was ready and I was resolved that it was okay and that I would someday be with my family and friends again. I live each day with this person inside me and hope I’ve not been a disappointment.

Ed your a disappointment to me if not your son as a transplant patient. Your like a alcoholic who pickles their liver then has the nerve to get listed and get a new one from someone more deserving. It’s obvious you don’t care. Your a selfish man Eddie Johnson. Your a liar and a cheat. I often ask why I’m still here, I’m no one special.

First off all POs and sgts on scene that night will be fine. It’s the superintendent of police. Did you give him a sobriety test? No he’s the superintendent. End of story. They can ask why all day long. Was he drunk? I don’t believe so. It was a quick stop. He said he was fine so that was the end of it. He’s not just a normal person who may be up to no good. He’s the superintendent of the police department so when he says he’s fine then he is fine. He went on his way. I’m not going to interrogate the superintended of police on the street at 1am when it’s not a criminal related call, it was a check the well being. I checked his well being and he was alert, talking and said he was fine. End of stop. No Lt on scene, no captains, no commanders etc. total stop was bout 45 seconds and no indications of intoxication in a very short time frame was observed. NOBODY is getting fired over this. Time? Who knows? Maybe a day here or there for something they manufacture to hit someone with but that’s it. They just want eddies scalp. Now that they have it, the rest will play out and in a couple months the IG will recommend that this and that should have been done better and that eveeyone should have some sort of discipline. Then IAD will take it over as a few people will get some reprimands for BWC shutting off prematurely and maybe a day or so here or there but that’s it. Proving any “conspiracy” is going to be impossible at the district level. If there is a conspiracy it will all be the next day after the fact between Johnson and his people concocting his cover up story. Look for several in the office of the Supt to have the screws put to them and a lot of hard questions for them about the cover story and how it was directed to them and when and how to put it out and “get ahead” of any potential blog or news story. The IG has also supenoed the sups medical records about the medication story. District level guys will maybe get a little taste of something but the ivory tower st 35th will have some issues with the IG.

Command personnel having illicit affairs with police women is nothing new. I do know of one past superintendent who had his driver as his girlfriend and when he retired and went on to head security at the State of Illinois Building, brought her along and gave her a great job. Many district commanders and others have engaged in this conduct, many openly. Manyh of the participants were married at the time. It was disgusting, but no one could do anything about this. Now with the merit promotions it seems much of this bad behavior leads to promotions. This is improper conduct and in private industry would get a person fired. It seems in the police department adultery leads to promotion and great assignments. It is time this conduct is codified within ethical guidelines of the department and leads to demotion.

I’m confused as to who you’re upset with. You seem to grasp the idea that the exempts ran the show and told the blue shirts who responded what to do and really should take 99% of the blame. Then you seem to be very upset at “2 year wonders” for responding to the job they were assigned. So you’re a 2 year wonder if you’re young and do work. But you’re also a 2 year wonder if you do nothing and just respond to jobs. You’re also a 2 year wonder if you slide by someone else’s job that you’re just down the street from the see if they’re all good. Man, these 2 year wonders really botched this job by listening to these incompetent exempt 30 year wonders.

They will find a few fall guys to fuck over but all that will happen to fat Head is after a Florida vacation he'll walking into a $150,000 a year Ghost job that the Revrunds will get for him.

The test cheating? The merit picks? He just took care of other peoples people and he has a lot of IOU's. So Groot gets to look like the avenging reformer and Fat Head gets his 14 k a month , and, gets to keep his side squeeze. I'm surprised nobody told Groot to wait 'til Friday for all this.

Luckily it rained all May and June and there was no injun summer, that and we have the gangs that can't shoot straight. So he gets to walk out proud theres a few dozen less stiffs then usual here, "It must be shot spotter, gun turn ins, and community involvement" right"? So now its Groot the avenging Angel to the rescue.

Maybe making her a merit sergeant would have kept her loyal because a take home car, a job with no responsibilities or swiping wasn't enough. He shouldn't be surprised- he got his wife a promotion through the secret study group and she SUED for not getting made a commander. It's no wonder Cynthia is spilling her guts to save her own skin.

Also, if u have issues with a way a district is handling things, how about stop in or call them up instead of putting the commanders and Lts in front of all the brass and playing gotcha with numbers and embarrassing them in front of all their peers. Isn’t that management 101? How has it become ok or standard practice to be doing this every week.

Word in BIA is anyone and everyone with a sustained finding against them is facing harsh consequences, and refusal to answer questions or deferral to or request for legal counsel is not going to help you

Anyone who is the subject of any police investigation is well-advised to lawyer up. But it probably won't do you any good if there is enough evidence to sustain the complaint.

The Meek-Minded Media
The WSJ, no less, as of yesterday is still running the
narrative that Johnson fired for falling asleep in "his car."
That's the front-page, left hand margin, 1 1/2 inch news blurb.
And that's what the public sees on the newsstands, the train,
the airport gift shops. They see the blurb first then decide if
they want to read.

"Wont be surprised if they get busted for official misconduct while Eddie leaves with his pension. The coverup is always worse than the crime . Chicago's Finest ."

Technically, Eddie could be charged with official misconduct as well. He should have gotten a complaint on the responding officers and supervisors and himself. If he didn't, his goose is cooked . I believe he did, so maybe he's safe.

Lightfoot seems rather sharp and not naive. One would think she’d sit down and really look over all these promotions Eddie made and who they are all connected to. And then look at the Lts cheating scandal and ask if it’s just a coincidence that all the wives and girlfriends miraculously aced the test? This is the true corruption and code of silence. This equals big money and only available to the connected.

The reason why Eddie Johnson and his criminal crew got away with so much dirt is that Johnson, and his moldy gold stars are were protected by corrupt, clouted politicians. Like Burke,Ervin, Madigan,Austin,and a few others.
So when you see and read about the antics of Eddie, Kenneth &Kevin Johnson; Dwayne Betts, Darrell Spencer, Mike Barz, Tony Escamilla, Eugene Williams, all of the lieutenants test cheaters, Fred Waller, Ed Kulbida, and the rest, thank your local corrupt politicians.
BTW, how is Gloria Hanna a street deputy?

Does President Trump know that the architect and writer of Eddie Johnson disrespect disregard of President Trump was written and pushed by Chicago Police News Affairs Director Anthony Guglielmi ?And that Johnson went along with the Trump rant to deflect from his DUI and philandering investigations?
Does Trump know that Guglielmi got fired from Baltimore? And that he's the subject of a RULE 14 False official report complaint investigation as well?

Chief Barb West is who is walking the media through what to look for and the specifics on how to do what the media is doing. Gugliami is helping her because he knows he is out of a job if she does not make Superintendent or First Deputy and retain him. Be careful what you ask for Mayor. That one is tainted. Talk to the old school bosses. Dana Starks promoted her to merit Lieutenant for personal reasons.

While you are snooping, ask Chief West about her married sergeant friend in the Detective Division. And ask her why she has a stripped Sergeant working directly for her in her office that would normally have gone to callback. At least he isn't married. You're just getting a female Eddie for more reasons than one.

Those poor SOBs who responded to the call.

Talk about being in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. If they had made him take the sobriety tests, but somehow it got swept under the rug, their careers would have been a run through a gauntlet presided over by the people who expect to be catered to in such situations.

And of course there is the flip side, which is just letting Eddie ride off into the sunset (or was it sunrise at that point?) and face the scrutiny of the IG and mayor now that it has all come to light.

Say what you will, but based on everything I've heard about the politics of the CPD, it was really a coin flip regarding which action to take.

“ The alleged cover-up took place “that night and the next day” and could end up being “even worse than” the incident itself, said a source familiar with Inspector General Joseph Ferguson’s ongoing investigation.”

– ‘far worse than...’
Far worse (implications) than driving drunk and falling asleep behind the wheel of over two tons of city owned steel?
Fergie still trying and hoping to keep his job.
If the Lyin’Jughead was afforded special favors - shame on those involved, in whats now being considered “far worse than” a drunkard getting a free pass, even after over 3 years of lambasting blue shirt police by publicly preaching of some infinite code of silence and inherent racism.
