Get Ready for Some Theater

  • Work will start in earnest next week on how to reform the Chicago Police Department after federal investigators found that officers routinely used excessive force against minorities and tolerated "racially discriminatory conduct" by officers.

    Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Tuesday that officials from the U.S. Justice Department will arrive in Chicago next week to begin negotiating a legally binding agreement — known as a consent decree — to ensure that reforms are implemented under the authority of a federal judge.
Rahm was in Washington last week, ignoring the deaths of three children, and meeting with anyone he could - but not the President. He did meet with Sessions, who has made no secret of his disdain for Consent Decrees and that his DOJ won't be spending much time on them.

We don't know about you, but that seems to mean no Federal dollars for what will undoubtedly be an expensive undertaking. Rahm doesn't have the money, nor the political capital to impose another tax increase on tax weary Chicagoans. Rahm is more suited to being Trump's foil for all that's wrong with "big city democratic politicians." Plus, he's getting zero support from Prickwrinkle's machine - she smells blood, and a chance to run Cook County and Chicago all at once if she gets her tool into the 5th floor.

So what's up? Was Rahm begging for non-iterference from DC? Is he going to create some sort of political theater? Say this, say that, do something completely different, divert funds, pretend reforms, political moves, attack the Contract, etc, etc? We have no idea, and the tame media bouncing up and down on Rahm's lap can't be trusted to ask the real questions and come up with real answers.

Most of the doable stuff has floated through with any argument from the FLOP!
CAMERAS
CARDs
more clouted white shirts
a few more detectives
New IPRA/COPA
A minority SUPE
some bullshit training
new exam beg for criminal recruits

Jobs done with no FED money except the cash RAHM asked OBAMA for the BROWN line.

Even if its not signed its done already.

"Get Ready for Some Theater"

Heh...

The Rahm al-Ghoul Shit-Show
is entering it's sixth year...
>Golf-Clap<

The swishing, tip-toeing North Shore Shit-Ass
NEVER had a long term strategy.

Or if he actually did, it died and decayed
to a riotously grinning skeleton due to
his unchecked compulsion to "win" the
8, 24, 48 and 72 hour news cycles in Chicago.

>Ol' Grinner sittin' there staring at
everything and seeing nothing at all<

The local media keeps dropping FOIA requests
for everything pertaining to CPD in order to
have some ready-to-go anti-Police deflection
should something that reflects poorly on
City Hall happens to slip-out.

Usually courtesy of this blog...

The latest media Fuckery we see revolves around
seeking sanction against Policemen for thinking
uncharitable thoughts and expressing them about
the vile m/fers we come in contact in the performance
of our duties...

We caught a real gem a few weeks ago where
some media rattle-mind opines that
the tax payers are ill served by paying
the salaries of officers who think and
feel the way they do.

So... You spend one-third or more of your
life dealing with savage-assed m/fers and
some yodeling assholes with mis-indexed
opinions and an agenda, dare to shit-talk
YOU who are eyeball-to-eyball with these
evil, soulless, death-loving m/fers who
are lighting this city on fire.

"Being wholly ungovernable is FUN!
You Cops stop pointing out all the
fucked-up, pathological parts you're
forced to deal with. That's RACIST!"

"How DARE YOU mere public servants
feel and talk that way! We feel you're
too far down the societal pecking order
to be expressing yourselves so vigorously
and manfully. Where do YOU Coppers get off
thinking that YOUR right to freedom of speech
is so sacrosanct?

Remember...

"The Police ARE the problem in Chicago.
once we fix THEM, everything else will
fall into place..."

Police Like You Have No Friends.
Protect yourselves against THEM at all times.

Nothing racist or demeaning about it.
Just hard-eyed, unflinching common sense and street survival.

Were there any actual Trump worthy republicans in crook county, let alone the big titty city of cuckcago, the future of our city, county and, as it flows, our state, would be, dare it be spoken, ...hopeful....

Perhaps, with a bit of Trump magic, there may appear, from the reliably predictable tomfooleries of the current crop of connivers, schemers, scammers, and scurrilous scum politicos, (you know, crook county and city hall mutts), and their certain to be absurd strategies, spewing from their many minions mutt mouths, a Trump inspired awakening.....akin to what has occurred nationally, within, of all places, the traditionally nutless crook county republican party.

Yes, I know, it would require a purging of sorts, but, hey, 2018 midterms might turn out to be quite surprising.....

The big question is.....are there any hardy souls willing to seek to take on the task of draining this region's particularly egregious fetid swamp?

President Trump has stepped up for our nation.....will any appear, to step up for our lovely city/county by the lake?

Time for Rahm to move on. His brand of politics is over.

Same for the Chicago Media. Hey guys (and gals) who are trolling this site - you were called out for being the Fake News. Instead of helping the Police, you have hindered them.

Look in the mirror - YOU are part of the problem! People are tired of you and have turned you off.

There is one thing the mayor can still tax that hasn't been talked about. Oxygen. How about an Oxygen Consuption Tax. If you live or visit Chicago you would be subject to the OCT. if you don't pay the tax a plastic bag will be placed over your head and you will go to the nearest land fill.

Rahm will hire Lynch mob and her Gupta gal as monitors so he can show how sincere he is about a self imposed consent decree. Hey Rahm, how about a self imposed circumcision? Looks like they missed some excess the first time around. Might as well castrate the CPD just to appease your #blm voting block. And of course, Deano is too busy to defend the rank and file from further abuse.

I'm confused. If we have a new head of the DOJ and he does not like consent degree's why then is the DOJ here trying to negotiate one? And why would Rahm agree to one if he does not have to? The only answer I can see is Rahm thinks he'll get a bunch of federal dollars. But is he that stupid to think that he could do what he'd want with those federal dollars.

Don't forget that Rahm and the ward bosses received plenty of money from Obama. He gave the city over a billion dollars for the cat before he left office . Over the years he's send the city plenty of money for misappropriation.

When L.A. was forced into a Consent Decree, they assumed tens of millions of dollars in debt, because the Decree did not include funds to execute the changes. Much depends on whether this will be done by Sessions' people or hold overs from Lynch. Also why is Rahm rushing this? And of course, what is Rahm's state of mind? If he realizes he will not win a third term, he may be approaching all of this as some sore of righteous legacy. On the other hand if he really believes he can win, then he may be looking at this as something HE can live with. Remember, a few weeks ago at Stanford, Rahm boasted how he "Never lost an election." And that is true, but remember when he ran for congress he had the last of Da Machine working doorbells for him. The last Presidential Election showed that only exists in the Black Wards these days. Nobody in a White Ward is going to be hustling for Rahm. Baby"G"

And officers, if you never opened up your online training jacket in the CLEAR system, you should do so. The Department adds Soooo much fake training you wont believe how smart you'll feel after reading about the amount of training you have received in recent years...

I predict a crapstorm the likes of which we have never seen, and I also predict that Violent crime will rise to New and Epic levels...

Disproportionate amount of community folks filing false CR's against white police officers is not counted?
Fighting and resistiting lawful arrest should not be counted as Excessive Force.
Stay Fetal and there will be no false allegations.

Rahm is not obligated to the New DOJ until they say so. This is a political stunt indeed.
Rahm will still pander to the deadbeat community and illegals, until the New DOJ cuts the funding.
Rahm will use the "event" to berate the New DOJ and President's Agenda.
Rahm will use the media to tell the sheep that no money is being appropriated to crime reduction.
Don't let Rahm ignore Law and Order.
Please send in your FOP Ballot even if you're just voting for 1 or 2 candidates.
Rahm's media likes to use the ballot totals to show Police don't care and are not a determining factor.

The federal investigators said:
"We're not here for them, we're here
for you Cops."

It's all about a community narrative to
drive Policing in this town into a corner.

You know, it's all about making The Police back up
instead of the criminals.

It's all about putting things in place to make it
easier to put The Police on the losing end of any
and all contact with "The Community."

You know... Since The Police are the only ones
with compelling rules to abide by and the most
to lose when those rules are even so much as
rubbed up against.

Members of "The Community" have NOTHING to lose.

That'll be the day when members of "The Community"
can be disciplined by suspending them from suckling
the tax-payer teat for a week every time they piss
hot/fuck up/get arrested and so on.

You'll see a dramatic curtailment in their
joyously ungovernable behavior if they
were to get hit in their wallets just
like Policemen.

"WAH! That's mean, racist and unfair!"
