Memorial Day OT

One week, we have Rahm and the bean-counters bemoaning the massive overtime bill being rung up by the Department - VRI, canceled days off for the teams, Michigan Avenue, etc.

Then yesterday, we see a notice in the CO Book for everyone who is Regualr Day Off the 27th, 28th, 29th or 30th to sign up and work your day off for time-and-one-half.

Could it be CPD is understaffed?

Been waiting for long time for the dumb ass media members to talk about man power shortage Plain and simple we are understaffed. With all the stupid missions and cars not allowed to leave their beats the summer will be a mess. Jagoff Rahm continues to tell the higher ups , in this case Johnson, not to talk about manpower shortage. Well attention assholes. We have a manpower shortage. By slashing 1200 spots and now not keeping up with retirements , this department is a joke manpower wise. But it all starts with the little jagoff Rahm who can find money every time he needs it for the absolute dumbest things. Keep it up Jagoff Rahm. You will get what you deserve you cocksucker

OT --

GAAA! Garter snakes!

Snakes, seen as workplace hazard, prevent mail delivery in Rogers Park

"Mary Harris, 62, drew up a sign Monday and placed it in her front yard that says "Snake-free zone. Could we pleeze have our mail?"

"Since the end of March, Harris said her mail delivery has been spotty and she has gone almost 10 days without getting a single letter because her mail carrier is afraid of the garter snakes that have made a home on her block.

"There's nothing showing up, no bills, no fliers, nothing," she said. "This is the first time we have ever had this big of a problem."

"In the three decades that Harris has lived on West Chase Avenue, she said she typically spots as many as five garter snakes per summer, usually in the backyard under rocks or soaking up the sun on the concrete walkway.

"Harris said she isn't the only person on the block not receiving mail. About 10 other neighbors wrote...that their mail also wasn't being delivered. The carrier is deathly afraid of snakes and refuses to deliver her mail until they're gone.

"When she saw them she freaked out," he said. "It is irrelevant if the snakes are dangerous or not. Our employees' safety is the utmost priority."

"Bonnie Wagner, another resident on the block, said Thursday that she has seen the supervisor walking alongside the mail carrier the past three days. "When they get to a house, he goes in front of her, and then signals to her with his hand that the coast is clear."

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-garter-snakes-rogers-park-mail-met-20160520-story.html

Just wait until the carrier sees her first earthworm after a rain.

It sounds horrible to say, but the only thing that manages to shock me about Chicago these days is that there are still some people who try to do right.

Freddy Gray case: Don't forget officers that if the PO is found Guilty that means anytime a Police officer chases someone and then catches and hand cuffs them He/She,the officers, can be charged with Assault. In this case the officer didn't even catch nor cuff Freddy Gray. So just think about your plan of action next time someone breaks and runs from you. They ALL say that they are scared of the Police as their defense.
Answer your calls,stay safe and backup your fellow officers.

Here's a great way to pay for all of that overtime.

Recently, some one suggested that more affluent neighborhoods in Chicago should have a property tax surcharge because those neighborhoods have better schools.

I think that high-crime neighborhoods should have a property tax surcharge because those neighborhoods are disproportionately high consumers of police and fire services.

It's only FAIR, isn't it?

And no, that wouldn't be racist; it would be realist. Uncomfortable facts, as they like to whisper in the MSM.

The left would like to solve income inequality. I'd like to solve expense inequality.

Dont you just love how the liberal d-bags on the left always like to throw around the FAIR word? Nice to throw it back in the fucking faces for a change.

Not guilty for officer Ed Nero of BPD in Freddie gray case

Bench trial, black judge, eliminates accusations of racism.

Judge's name is Barry Williams, my guess is that the other Barry in the greater Baltimore D.C. Area is not going to be impressed.

The fight is not over for Officer Nero, he is still stripped and on administrative duty, they will probably try to fire him.

The real concern is whether Emperor Barry will sick the DOJ on him for civil rights violations or is he too busy trying to sell arms to Vietnam, establish ties with Cuba that result in the turnover of Guantanamo bay to Cuba and the release of prisoners there, or any of the other cockamamie shit that he thinks is proper of an American president.

All stand-alone printers going away - they aren't buying more toner for them. Will have to use the xerox instead. Hope it doesn't go down on a long weekend, cause they won't pay premium rates to have it serviced on weekends. Apparently no one downtown ever had to get anyone to court and realize its 30 pages minimum per arrestee. That's only 16 arrestees per ream of paper. Or maybe the city will tell Tim Evans to print his own stuff - we'll give you 1 arrest report, original complaint, case, and a transportation copy.

We're not a business. We're not making cokes or serving fries. When our organization gets understaffed and overworked, people get hurt and killed. The taxpayers should be protesting Rahm's cuts to the CPD and demanding proper staffing of it. We all know it's cheaper and we know why Rham's doing it. When one of your loved ones calls 911 do you want them told it'll be about a half hour? You wouldn't even accept that kind of service at your local fast food restaurant but for the police department, the voters and taxpayers are ok with it.

Chicago shouldn't be having all of these problems, because:

1. We have all of these voices of experience, AKA "double dippers," who have been rehired as civilians and are now collecting pensions and working for the CPD. With their collective knowledge and hefty salaries, all of the challenges faced by the department should be easily handled. Isn't that right, Deputy Chief (and retired patrolman) Shear? You have facilitated the re-hiring of yourself and these other pensioners, so where are the solutions?

2. We have the benefit of many new "genius" supervisors, thanks to disgraced former Chief Eugene Williams, who will be honored at the Police Recognition Ceremony for who-knows-what? What a disgrace for him to stand on the same stage as those who put their lives on the line in the performance of their duties.

Question: If a person volunteers to work his RDO and is injured, is he covered as if he was working a regular required shift, or can the city come back and bite him in the ass?

They spent all the toner money on $14.00/gallon bleach, stupid banners for light posts, miles of useless fencing, "street landscaping," etc.

Pictured: Blood-smeared floors and walls of child migrant centre where a Swedish social worker, 22, was stabbed to death in 'a frenzied attack' by an 'Ethiopian boy' who is at least TWENTY-ONE

* Youssaf Khaliif Nuur, from Ethiopia, [claimed] to be 15 but now revealed as at least 21, is charged with murder
* Miss Mezher, bled to death on the floor of a bedroom after the vicious attack severed the artery in her thigh

"Alexandra knew how to handle children including violent ones. But those she was working with were big powerful guys. A few were maybe under 18, but the rest were older, maybe 23 or 24."

"Nuur had lived at the centre in Molndal, home to ten migrants, for a month before the murder. Some 4,000 arrived...in the past year alone at the suburb, which has a population of just 60,000..."

"HVB Living Nordic is a private company paid by the local authority to provide housing and care...In 2014, Molndal received £22.6million...for unaccompanied minors – the most state funding per capita than any town or city in Sweden. That same year, HVB Living Nordic reported a profit margin of 21.9 per cent. HVB’s chief executive is Patrick Sjögren, 46, former CEO of 5050Poker, a gambling website which filed for bankruptcy in 2012 after it emerged that the company had used players' money to cover losses..."

"Recently, some one suggested that more affluent neighborhoods in Chicago should have a property tax surcharge because those neighborhoods have better schools.

"I think that high-crime neighborhoods should have a property tax surcharge because those neighborhoods are disproportionately high consumers of police and fire services."

5/23/2016 10:54:00 AM

...how about "jam-packed schools in an area, sky-high school levies in same area?" Scrub tax rolls against enrollment lists. Lots kids, lots pay. No kids, no pay.

...and let the elderly off the hook entirely. Already paid for about eight generations of largely other people's spawn. Enough.

North Carolina school board votes to stop naming valedictorians

May 23, 2016

"Apparently working your hardest to be the best you can be -- and being recognized for the effort -- is one lesson a North Carolina school board no longer believes is worth teaching.

"Citing what it calls "unhealthy" competition among students, the Wake County school board is the latest in the country to make valedictorians and salutatorians a thing of the past..."

Did anyone hear that Ron forgue who worked for internal affairs and is involved with a lawsuit suing 38 police officers just got hired at moraine valley college as campus police?

This is the same Ron Forgue who just got fired as Chief of Police from some small town in California. Just do a Google search of his name to read about it. This guy is a first class nut and hand job rolled into one.

Is it true they're asking the Homan Honeys to work the holiday? The same desk crews that get a bad case of the flu when they have to work a detail on the weekend?

5/23/2016 05:48:00 PM


I'm sure they are. These are they same people working in zone 10 hogging up the air with name checks and "sweeping" the hot spots because the boss said so or else get dumped from their spot.

Working your RDO (voluntary) on Fri, Sat, Sun you will be paid at time and half, 12.75hrs cash. Working on Monday (holiday, voluntary). You will receive 8.5hrs comp time (you are RDO) with 12.75 cash. You will not be receiving 25.5 comp time, because your RDO on a holiday has been not cancelled, you volunteered to work it. It’s just like working VRI on a holiday on your RDO. You do not receive 25.5hrs for working VRI on your RDO on a holiday do you?

Another note Rahm stated the public has lost trust in IPRA so they must be disbanded and a new oversight governing body must be created . Those were Rahm's words but the only fact remains is that the public has also lost trust in Rahm. Should Rahm not be replaced all in the name of the children he so fondly talks about ? Bye bye...

5/23/2016 06:53:00 PM

He recently stated that he will not rule out a third term!

Now that's self confidence. Maybe that's why he closed all those mental health facilities? He's afraid of being committed...

004th District

Let's see how many of the 004 front office dollies end up working the holiday for $$$$. They are supposed to be in Fri/Sat or Sun/Mon day off groups in order to be available to work summer weekend details.

Number of details worked: ZERO
Predicted number of details worked by the end of the Summer Redeployment season: ZERO
Predicted number who will have to work Memorial Day to eliminate a work backlog: FOUR

And what about the '06 car on days with two officers who report only to the aldermen? You can bet that their specialized skills will be needed for the holiday weekend, too.

I for one use 95% of my Overtime pay to Pay Extra on the Mortgage Payment EVERY MONTH... I hope to have it paid off in the Next 3.5 years So people who say "You should live within yours means, or Fuck the Mayor, don't work O.T." I'm doing both... We own one car, no boats, saving Thousands on Mortgage Interest over the life of the Loan which puts me that much sooner getting out of Crook County and possibly this corrupt State Far away from Assholes Like Rahm! On a side note... How many of these "I Don't work OT" have a wife making as much or more than there PO spouse or are lying thru their teeth and show up once a week to sit in the "Box" or walk "Michigan Ave"

So many officers can't even read the contract and the section regarding OT.


To actually think if you volunteer you will receive double time is hilarious.

Quick way to remember anything is if you volunteer you give all your contract protections away. Start time, seniority, and overtime.


But if nobody volunteered then reverse seniority would go into affect and days off would be cancelled for the hair gels who would then receive double time.

enjoy the big money...

GAAA! Garter snakes!

Snakes, seen as workplace hazard, prevent mail delivery in Rogers Park

"Mary Harris, 62, drew up a sign Monday and placed it in her front yard that says "Snake-free zone. Could we pleeze have our mail?"


Sad thing about the snakes is that neighborhood may be targeted by those who collect those harmless animals.
More brilliant reporting by the Tribune.
