1967?

What the fuck?
  • In October of 2014, department members were notified that lists containing information related to complaints lodged against officers would be released in response to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests filed by journalists from the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times. At the time of the requests, the time frame for the information sought was January 1, 1967 to present.

    The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) and Chicago Police Sergeants' Association (PBPA) petitioned for and were granted injunctive relief by Judge Flynn in the matter of Fraternal Order of Police, Chicago Lodge No. 7, et al. v. City of Chicago, et al., 2014 CH 17454. In July of this year, the injunction was vacated by the Illinois Appellate Court. On today's date, the Illinois Supreme Court denied the Petition for Leave to Appeal filed by the Fraternal Order of Police, Chicago Lodge #7.

    In that all appellate avenues have been exhausted, the City of Chicago will release complaint history information from January 1, 1967 to October 17, 2014. The information to be furnished includes the names of current and former sworn Department members with complaint histories maintained by the Department. The lists also include unit, date of appointment, initial and final complaint category, complaint number, incident date, complaint date, closed date, final finding of the investigation and any action taken.
There is no plausible reason to even have these files exist. By numerous Contracts, they should have been destroyed at various points in the past decades. There isn't a single officer on the job now who was hired in 1967. Many are deceased. We can think of only a single use of these files and that's to paint the Department with the same tar that certain players have been spreading around for the past few years.

If the City produces ANYTHING which violates the contract, i.e. records retained in violation of contract, how can this NOT BE A LABOR VIOLATION??????? Let's Strike then since nothing in the agreement REALLY is valid!

This sounds like a civil lawsuit against the city for releasing records that should have been destroyed by the city. Now that my good name has been tarnished by something that shouldn't exist, I need to be made whole again. WHERE'S MY MONEY?

It doesn't matter what the final finding was on any of these complaints. The mere allegation is enough for the naive and clueless to jump to conclusions and assume the complaint was true, especially if you're one who has a predisposition of hate towards police.

Are they gonna make a list of people who have made false allegations against the police?

Yeah, just you wait until the joyful haters use
this information to "prove" family ties to the
"systemic racism of CPD officers."

Your Granddad got complaints.
Your Dad got complaints.
You got complaints.

Your family now has a "documented history" of
racism, maltreatment and misconduct.

Here comes the justification of disqualifying
Police Family members from the job.

>Big-assed crickets regarding multiple generations
of dope-dealing, gang-banging, worthless criminal shithead
families plying their trade in spreading death,
destruction, disease and other associated horrors
within the "Community"<

Slightly O/T but True:

Pinched an old hoodlum back in the early 90's...
He took a look at our name plate, blinked in amazement
and said: "MAAAAN! I ain't seen you in YEARS!"

His criminal history came back and he had been likewise
pinched by the old man a time or three when he worked
out of 23 & Damen and Fillmore starting circa 1962...

Old bastard was PROUD of the fact that he had been
"crookin' for more than forty years..."

The five digit IR# was a clue too.

Never-You-Mind the more than anecdotal to ample
evidence of a culture that not only has failed
to launch but has willfully and intentionally
self-destructed on the launching pads in the
Democratic controlled utopias of this nation.

Flaming debris, blood, shit, brain matter,
teeth, skull fragments and body parts blown
in every which direction for miles.

Local media COULDN'T HAVE come up with this
on their own... This comes straight from a
Rahm Emanuel war-gaming session.

Where else could something this vicious and vile originate?

The media FOIA of Police complaint files going back
a half century?

This shit has NOTHING to do with "oversight and accountability"
and EVERYTHING to with the Progressive take-down
of Chicago Policemen and Policing in Chicago.

No FOIA on the multi-generational fall-out
of Dude being Dude?

Chicago newsies are only brave when it comes to picking
a fight with Policemen... Policemen have compelling rules
to abide by.

"NYAAH! You guys can't hit US back!"

Poking Dude with the same stick they're poking
The Police with?

Sheee-yat...
Dude KNOWS where m/fers live so that ain't
finna hap'n, cap'n!

Chicago newsies are foolish and cruel beyond
measure but they're as tenacious and vicious as the
Chicago Alley Rat when it comes to self preservation.

Everybody KNOWS there is NOTHING constraining Dude from
parking a flaming car on the front steps of a
Chicago newsie's home and laying in wait as everyone
flees out the back door in their night clothes.

Which is why they just WILL NOT
get sideways with Dude by reporting with the same zeal
they reserve for Policemen.

The Police.
Are NOT the problem in Chicago.

You will be the next contestant on that 24/7 news show "State your assets and liabilities" as you sit in federal court! the thugs and scum will be watching as your hard earned money-home and everything is removed, next the bonus you will be sent to prison. Don't believe it? College educated coppers should be smarter but obviously not to smart! Blue lights sirens screaming for what? Myself only for a 10-1 or coppers family calling for service everything else follow the orders obey the law, no street stops, no arrests without signed complaints! Blame obama and the minions all the way down the line! To bad we are not able to use the stupid "I don't know" clinton defense then everyone gets immunity and you walk freely!

But on another note rahm wants to buy 600 new squads to use because of his hiring of 1,000 coppers ahh mayor Pinocchio is that additional after you replace the over 2,000 short or is that just funnin for the uneducated?

Because the City never destroys anything except when having to do with the pols. Then there is not a shred of evidence to view. I'm sure the pols are now employing BleachBit when deleting their emails and other electronic records. But police disciplinary records that were suppose to be destroyed after X years? Not in a heartbeat.

Not quite true. You weren't eligible to take the test until you were 21. Took long time to post the test and then years to be taken off the test so the average age of being hired would be around 25. Not to many guys took the test at 21
That plus being in the academy for 26 weeks and the year probation where j imagine most guys didn't get many CR's
My point is 1967 is almost 50 years ago so the majority of those po' s would be in their mid 70's
Plus during that era, almost all patrol po's rotated shifts every 28 days. That can take a toll on your health. Just sayin

I graduated grade school in 1967 and I am 63 years old. I couldn't have joined the police force for another nine years.

You really do not speak f rom experience, do you. I came home from the Army in March 1968, took the written exam and physical with weeks and was hired and started the academy in August '68. There were starting a class of 34 every two weeks. The academy was only 12 weeks back then and I believe stayed that way for a few more years. My class, with the exception of three, were all veterans and no older then 25, I was 21.
