No Equipment for Strike Force
If this is true, this is hilarious and sad, all at the same time:
- it's all smoke and mirrors. 50 2 year wonders detailed to MSF today..yet no new cars or radios...be riding 4 deep...the public will see the same amount of cars out there...how stupid
And how would this be proven to be true?
- This is off the topic, but I was not sure how to bring it to anyone's attention. According to fleet in order to supply enough cars for the new Summer Initiatives, cars that were scheduled to be junked are being call ed back into service. Mars lights are being reinstalled at area 1 as I write this. This does not effect me directly, but shouldn't this be a safety issue? Two weeks ago a department already short on cars was ready to junk them, but now they are [acceptable]?
Safety grievance anyone?
We thought we had someone intimately familiar with Fleet operations working in HQ now? Someone foisted on the Police Department following a "Love Boat" type tour through other city agencies and following a 30-day-suspension for those transgressions?
We're sure all these cars have been refurbished to exacting standards for the long hot summer ahead.

What a joke. Everything about this place. Left to right. Top to bottom.
Is it me or is this just getting old? When does the shock value wear off?
Maybe the 35th street Exempts will offer thier low mileage new cars to the working street guys/gals.
Ya think?
This is JFLED version of the Surge here in Chi-raq!
This has to be true. The motor pool (Junked police cars) are completly gone at the Garage @ Harrison & Kedzie. What a saftey hazzard. officers don't be the victim of the city's fault to provide you with cars that work. Great Idea Jody, Again you FAIL
One would have thought that the WEISel, Masters, RayRay and the old man cmdr over there would have thought that through before the new troops came in. When MSF began, all new equipment was brought into the unit. I guess the economic noose has tightened a bit around Daley's neck since then.
people who are scared of making waves for fear of getting dumped from a unit(msf) will never bring up a safety issue. the bosses know this. shamefull!
What a joke! Now what Shortshanks and J-Fed? What are you gonna do now? Because guess what? You are right back at square one. The way I see it...your options are becoming fewer and fewer. Or maybe the fact that you have run out of options is more like it. Great leadership you two! What a way to make us proud. PO's in MSF...if these cars are unsafe, do not accept them or immediately down them. This should be happening city-wide.
Officers on this detail, please document the condition of your vehicles and down the car if it is unsafe. Make these m*****f**kers squirm. This is a great opportuniy to put the city on notice.
the ship has sunk...
Safety grievances are essentially meaningless. The city is not required to do anything even if a safety grievance is filed or upheld. There is no enforcement. Waste of time.
At least the detectives are getting nice new Ford Fusions....40of them.....
Why the 2 year wonder comment???? I lost a team member by reverse seniority to this farce. The guy has 8 years on the job. The 8 years he has been on the job he has made more arrests than 95% of the department.
I love the know it all do nothings telling someone how to do things. These are the guys who have never scored in the top 1,000 on any promotional exam. They don't know how to articulate probable cause for an arrest and have all their uniforms from the 90's. These are the guys who have never worked tac, gangs, sat team, gun team, mission team or a even plain cloths on the watch. The only thing the look forward to the lunch, personals, 1st, and 16th. These are the guys that complain about people who don't work and live off of others taxes. Meanwhile they are paid by the peoples taxes and do nothing for the check they don't deserve. Typical of far to many on the CPD.
Even if you did file a grievance, you would have to have proof that the cars were going to get junked to win or your family being able to file a lawsuit as a result of your untimely death because of one of these cars. I bet a majority of the soon to be junked cars are the chevy impala death traps.
Real safe by riding in the back seat with the window open so you can let yourself out or have the driver or passenger in the front let you out. If dude has a AK, Tec-9 or anything that isn't held together by duct tape, you will be dead.
Go and get em warriors!!!!!
Pelon says:
We are FORCED to drive junked and wrecked cars! Yet, the City makes taxi companies junk their cars or face fines!
How about fining the City over these unsafe vehicles!
Then the asshole bosses, who care nothing more than promotions for themselves, want you to produce with this fucking unsafe garbage out here!
Pookie is laughing at the POLEEZ rides!
I would IOD outta there so fast i would not even need a lock on my locker. Conscript unit my ass

"These are the guys who have never worked tac, gangs, sat team, gun team, mission team or a even plain cloths on the watch."
So you think only working one of these things gets you experience as a hard worker on this job? I think too many of these people you mentioned forgot how to wear a uniform, handle 30 jobs, write 5 reports and sneak a drive-thru lunch between paper jobs on a regular day. Yeah, 2 hour lunches 4 districts away and locking up a 50 year old drinker..that sure gives tax-payers their money worth.

First of all, you have no idea what you are talking about. MSF NEVER got any NEW equipment. All the cars the UNIT started with(and still have) are POS cars put together for the Unit. They were carry-overs from the Back to the Streets program. The cars did not have air, computers and sometimes no heat. They keep replacing the parts that fall off on their long drives to 007 or puttering around 011. The Unit has donated office computers that were going to be scraped by outside sources. Officers are still using the old double-single dot radios that went out over 10 years ago in most Districts. Many Officers could have been hurt when they keyed up in a foot chase only to hear static. The promises of new cars and radios havent come true yet (over 18 months) since the Unit started up. Pos are buying their own radios just to work. The cars arent worth much as scrap metal, much less to even be used as regular cars on a daily basis. The Department hasnt put anything new into MSF except for a couple new Xerox machines. Its embarrassing to even walk in into the Unit. One even wonders why anyone would work under those conditions. Give the Officers there alot of credit. They make due with nothing and still work in the worst Districts in the City. MSF are treated like step children everywhere they go. Why dont you give up your Tahoes and drive their cars for a night? I didnt know the gas pumps would take six figure mileages......
Eventually all equipment will fail on this Department. Just cease to work. Maybe the R-Service guy can drive us around... no wait, his van is down too......
Pretty soon the Order will come out that we must drive our own personal vehicles on patrol...
Man, I just hope things change before I retire in 17 years..... I dont see it getting better. 29 and a day is looking impossible right now......
ALL THE JUNKERS BUT WILL THE CITY ALLOW ALL THE FRONT LINE PRIMA DONNA VERY LOW/NEW CARS PARKED BEHIND THE FENCE ON 51ST TO BE USED? THEY ARE THE PARE CARS FOR THE BOSSES,EDDIE BURKE, THE TREASURER, MAYORS DETAIL ETC! Some have less than 6,000 miles and the fleet boys make sure they are in top shape!
Guess the safety of the officer is than for the valets who run for coffee and pick up groceries! How about burke loses his car,his huge detail for 90 days? Come on oily eddie would you be to scared? the treasurer could give up her huge detail also heck you could ride the cta together and huddle up when your scared of the big bad city!
this is true. I was there when the order came down. Cars weren't able to be picked up until later than we expected due tot he face that they were "refirbishing" these junked vehicles. Be safe out there guys!

I see a lot of unused take-home cars parked on the streets of the 19th ward. They all seem to be in good shape. Maybe the MSM could find a story here.
There are cars available that we could have on the street within two weeks after purchase if somebody in city hall could figure out what they are suposed to do. These cars are available at bid price so all we have to do is spend the money allocated for them, but then city hall would not be able to divert that money.
Because the city had declared these cars unusable, someone should sue if they get into an accident. Thye union should be able to obtain a list from MM of cars scheduled for junking, its all in the computer system, all they have to do is get off their asses and do something.
FOP. Where're you now?
WTF.

THATS AWESOME, Y WOULD THEY TAKE TAHT OFF THE COMPUTERS IN THE FIRST PLACE
This is how rumors get started by people that think they know everything but they really dont. The reason area 3 has there lot cleaned up is because those cars have been junked already. The garages are still junking cars not putting them back on the street. The cars that have mars lights being put back on them are admin cars they are taking away from different units to deploy for the summer

mike picardi has a nice car ready to be used for the strike force.
BLUE LIGHTS, SIREN, & RADIO!!!
dude what two year wonders are you talking about?? the city has not hired anyone in four years
What sucks even more is that all the house mice sent to the "summer initiative" have to buy bdu's with all the turtle gear.
What about the Crown Vics over in fleet yard on 31st and Sac. I am told they give these out to their friends as pool vehicles??
It's true. There are no cars and the bosses at roll call admitted that they have some of the worst equipment in the Department. So they're pretty much like every other district and unit. And after riding in one of their cars and using their 25 year old Saber radio, it's true.
The rumor about no comp time is not true. The 10 hr day schedule is pretty nice as far as days off go. I'd say about 2% volunteered for the detail. And those were guys who are stuck on midnights with a shitty boss, partner, etc.
They should sent those 100 P.O.'s to 016, crime otta control here. PLEASE SEND HELP!!!! Last night P.O. found shithead breaking into his garage, shithead lived down the street!!!!

Once again, the kool-aid talking for another short-timer, and YEAH, 8 years is nothing on this job! Apparently, you can't see the difference between those who live off welfare and commit all the crime WE have to document, and the people who come to WORK every day, appear at roll call, go to their shitbox dangermobiles and do what their job description states, which is protect the lives and property of the citizens of this city. Yes, YOU two year wonderfucks who think this job is supposed to be about movers, parkers, contact cards & arrests need to vomit up the federal/Daley kool-aid and re-read what your job responsibility is.
Nowhere in there, nor in your oath have you sworn to birddog No Turn On Reds, hang back at intersections in the hopes that someone will blow through the light because they can't see you, ambush people coming out of a bar and demand identification so you can write a contact card or arrest the homeless guy with an old shopping car because he's "in possession of lost or mislaid property".
You pathetic humps who want to complain about your idea of a "poor work ethic", Shit details that are mere failed political tools AND having shit bosses in this city are the ones on the losing end my friend. That's because you give YOURSELF one additional deluded reason to complain that the rest of us don't have, complaining about everyone else.

More than eight years on said......
So what you're complaining about is the "two year wonder" comment?? Almost as bad as the gross generalizations you made about the "95 percent" of the department that you claim your buddy (and I presume you) out perform on a daily basis. Maybe all the people you are describing have done A LOT more than you have, or ever will and are plain old tired and see things for what they really are. So why don't you go out there and get em tiger, the "tax paying" public really appreciates it. Thank goodness you have 30 days more seniority than your buddy, saving you from being sent down as well.
Why would it suprise anyone? Look no further than 004 where a Sgt. who gets shot, shoots back and hits offender, gets nothing but forced off the tact team by the same people who forced out two previous quality sgts. Not to mention they send another Sgt. to training over all others, including the working Sgt.. I see how they treat workers, and you want me to save this city. HA
Lets go back even farther 2 yr wonder. I remember no computers in the cars! OOPS, you were still in diapers.

See where all that hard work got you? Shit on! Maybe now you'll learn.
Prob not.
Guess where all the pool cars went from Harrison & Kedzie. That lot is now empty!!! I have only one guess where those pool cars went.
To that "New" unit.
Well, 3rd watch in 024 cant get a car with under 100k or a rifle rack, if you can get a car at all.
Since we got the shittiest cars they break the soonest, so we pretty much ALWAYS have pool cars.
But hey, you could do absolutely nothing in the district and ride 3-4 deep in plain clothes in one of the mysterious (worthless) 06/88 cars...
It's all legit....all of it.
So you think only working one of these things gets you experience as a hard worker on this job? I think too many of these people you mentioned forgot how to wear a uniform, handle 30 jobs, write 5 reports and sneak a drive-thru lunch between paper jobs on a regular day. Yeah, 2 hour lunches 4 districts away and locking up a 50 year old drinker..that sure gives tax-payers their money worth.
AMEN TO THAT!!
Too many of the "know it all" gets dumped back to the district with his big three years and is picking up shell casing at a crime seen cause he work a unit LMAO and knows it all. Notice a lot of the can't do simple reports, fillout basic forms, don't know how to use a ANOV book, and are trully lost on shootings or major accidents. I don't care WHERE you work I only care that you work and you know how to do your job!!!!!
"Eqwipment! Eqwipment! We don't have no eqwipment. We don't need no stink'n eqwipment!" ...sorry, what's that? ...oh, it's "bagges"! Due to technical difficulties with the "eqwipment" beyond our control we know take you to, "As the Department Crumbles" already in progress.
0 2 year wonders HA HA too funny!
I was taking the L from 35th street and counted 21 ubmarks sitting in De La Salle parking lot.
Whats up with that? Are the hotshot's from 35th hiding the cars they are not suppose to have?
Jfed begging supervisors (via email ) to make the troops make him look good. I'll forward email to scc.
I still have my uniform from the 90's, and it looks like $hit.
Does that make me a bad policeman?

That's the great thing about senority, it protects the guys that have put their time in.
By the way tough guy, why didn't you volunteer in-order to save your team member? You should have taken one for the team. You know with all of his arrests and all.
Finally son, the 1st and 16th are all that really matters.
The rest is just window dressing.
Stay safe all!
When the m.strike force was formed they used operation closed market vehicles. pdts and computers. Average mileage was 80k plus, and the vehicles were horrible. Bad supervision, and lack of resources did not help, I do give props to the guys and gals that stuck it out past the 3 months they really deserve better than this city and department is giving them.
I'll keep the Ford, you keep the Fusion....A 1 Det.
God Bless Bill Cozzi!
Brother, I must admit that I failed you! I forgot to send a birthday card to you and I know how this bolsters your morale while you are being falsely maligned and incarcerated.
Just to let you know I am thinking about you today and I do pray for you almost daily. You will survive this INJUSTICE and with God's Blessing come back to work.
I have been around on the CPD awhile and I know and have witnessed the INJUSTICES of the two-tier system of discipline.
Bill, please know that I and many others fight daily for you, pray almost daily for you and have NOT forgotten you or your plight.
What they do to one of us they do to ALL of us!
God Bless Bill and Happy Birthday!!!

OT-have you seen the late edition of the Scum-Times? Shortshanks is hinting at renewing J-Fled's contract, but at a reduced salary.
WTF?? Daley thinks he's doing a good job???
OT: Today could be described as one of those proud CPD moments followed by seeing the coward J-FLED's vehicle at 35th St. Today, injured P/O Pedro Medina (014)returned to Chicago. I am proud to say that we shut down Fullerton from the Xpressway all the way to Springfield. Thanks to all the Districts involved, the Patriot Guard and also the Illinois State Police. The only other time I experienced something like this was the night P/O Marquez was killed and we did the same on Fullerton. Later had to go to 35th. and saw J-Fled's big ass truck sitting right up front, in the lot, near the door. Here above are 2 heroes that wear/wore this uniform and we have this impersonator. God bless the soul of P/O Marquez and his surviving family and here is wishing that P/O Medina returns to work soon.
Shorty's Shortchanging the Public and the Department

Screw Shortshanks, J-Fled, wear a Yellow Ribbon Sunday and Don't let anyone tell you not to unless you are being paid to be there.
First, the city and brass could care less about our safety. This is an absolute FACT! Everyday guys drive around in dangerous vehicles and don't say anything in fear of retaliation from the bosses. The brass know this and they count on it. The pool cars are in terrible condition! Remember, it's all about the bosses and what they can do to get noticed. Never trust them and don't do things just to please them. If shit goes wrong you will be all alone. They will not even remember your name.

Maybe those 'USELESS HUMPERS' aren't so useless. Document vehicle deficiencies on them, your sergeant signs them, your WC signs them and they go into the DC files. But, if you note a vehicle problem, do something about it, there's a lot of cry babies out there who point things out about the damn cars but will not call the R-Man or take a car in for service.
Get the Car Fixed.
O.T. I think the following excerpt means HE GONE!
CAMERON: Does Jody Weis deserve another contract?
DALEY: I think Jody Weis is a very, very good person. I think ... I mean, fine, people don't like crime, no one likes crime, but you can't blame him (pauses) for ... if you're son is out at 10 o'clock at night during the week and he's 12 or 14 years old, don't blame the police. Everybody wants to blame the police.
CAMERON: So when his three-year contract is up, you want to renew him?
DALEY: Well we'll see, we'll work with him, but I'm just saying this has nothing to do with (a) three-year contract. This has to do with people's responsibility ...
people who are scared of making waves for fear of getting dumped from a unit(msf) will never bring up a safety issue. the bosses know this. shamefull!
4/30/2010 05:36:00 AM
Dumped??? Pretty much everybody in that summer bullshit is there by reverse. Do you really think the guys from narcotics, vice, fugitive, etc... volunteered for that crap. I'm sure they would love to get dumped.
THIS JUST IN:
Seems the 90 day detail is such a hit that they just doubled it. Enjoy your 180 days kids.
OT: When did the FOP website start asking for a login and password? Did I miss something because I don't think I have one. You never needed one before. It has been kinda sucky since the arbitrator ruled. Like they shut it down or something.

where the hell have you been you can turn the safety locks off. A four man car is less likely to be attacked then a 99 car and a 10-4 car. Plus if you are in the front seat and get ambushed by someone with an ak or tek your f&*$# also.
SCC mentioned in the sun-times...
"Ever since then, a police blog that previously referred to Weis as J-Fed started calling him J-Fled."
Daley hints Weis' contract will be renewed
http://www.suntimes.com/news/cityhall/2220676,daley-weis-police-support-chicago-043010.article?plckCurrentPage=1&sid=sitelife.suntimes.com
So it now has been revealed how Weis will be replaced as police superintendent. Weis will be asked to take a substantial pay cut; Weis will refuse and Daley will crow that Weis refused to sign a new contract, it is all Weis' fault. That is the Daley way.
And Weis will leave town knowing how it feels to be a Daley fall guy. In actuality, Weis should demand a salary increase, not be expected to take a cut.
As it is, Weis can declare victory, that he has done what he came here to do and throw it all back into Daley's court.
OFF TOPIC BUT MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY/ALL TRASH TALK:
Welcome home Chicago Police Officer Pedro MEDINA. You are what a true hero is and always should be.
Document the the safety deficiencies on the cars. Just fucking do it. Do it for the Sgt. that lost his life.

My WC said if any of these four man posse cars actually makes an arrest they will probably call for a transport vehicle. If a 10-99 car shows up to do the transport on of the four will ride with the 10-99 officer into the station to process the arrest. Then the officer who rode with the district officer can ride with the 10-99 officer for the rest of the tour and his three pals can follow that district car around and answer calls and make stops.
Who knows, they may lock up a domestic offender, a real gangbanger with a gun, or burglar on that 10-99 cars beat.
Assigning officers to fill in at the district level, brilliant idea.

people who are scared of making waves for fear of getting dumped from a unit(msf) will never bring up a safety issue. the bosses know this. shamefull!

I was dumped to a shit district. The boss told to take out an unsafe vehicle. I said I will if ordered to do so. The jag boss backed off.
First of all, you have no idea what you are talking about. MSF NEVER got any NEW equipment. All the cars the UNIT started with(and still have) are POS cars put together for the Unit. They were carry-overs from the Back to the Streets program. The cars did not have air, computers and sometimes no heat. They keep replacing the parts that fall off on their long drives to 007 or puttering around 011. The Unit has donated office computers that were going to be scraped by outside sources. Officers are still using the old double-single dot radios that went out over 10 years ago in most Districts. Many Officers could have been hurt when they keyed up in a foot chase only to hear static. The promises of new cars and radios havent come true yet (over 18 months) since the Unit started up. Pos are buying their own radios just to work. The cars arent worth much as scrap metal, much less to even be used as regular cars on a daily basis. The Department hasnt put anything new into MSF except for a couple new Xerox machines. Its embarrassing to even walk in into the Unit. One even wonders why anyone would work under those conditions. Give the Officers there alot of credit. They make due with nothing and still work in the worst Districts in the City. MSF are treated like step children everywhere they go. Why dont you give up your Tahoes and drive their cars for a night? I didnt know the gas pumps would take six figure mileages......
Simple solution crybaby, bid out of the MSF unit, you should never have went there in the first place. Never go to these bs units after what they did to SOS and the early version of the TRU units. The folks who jumped up to go to msf get what they deserve, you should have never went to the bs smoke and mirror unit. You all belong back in patrol. Also, before any one starts to bi@h about it, I was asked to go to TRU and MSF but I new better same of shit just a different name. The glory days of taking care of unit guys are over, read the writing on the wall and bail before it is to late.
"Maybe the 35th street Exempts will offer thier low mileage new cars to the working street guys/gals."
They should be driving MARKED cars anyway! Isn't the idea to make it look like there are more police on the streets?
Smoke? Mirrors? Not on my watch!
"people who are scared of making waves for fear of getting dumped from a unit(msf) will never bring up a safety issue. the bosses know this. shamefull!"
Don't worry, it's a self-solving problem; those officers will get the blame when the vehicle fails and they're involved in a crash.
If they live, they'll learn. If they die, they'll take the blame to their grave.
THAT'S what's shameful.

You first have to get these bosses to work more than 6 hours a day. They expect the rank and file to work a full tour but the bosses are working abreviated tours and what not!
"One even wonders why anyone would work under those conditions."
I'm sorry, but you meant this as a compliment to the officers, right?
Dude, that's just asking for trouble. But in the end, it's always been (at least for the 19 years I've been here) this way at CPD: The department works DESPITE what our "leaders" do for (to) us, not BECAUSE of what they do for us.
"Give the Officers there alot of credit. They make due with nothing and still work in the worst Districts in the City."
See above.

I know who wrote the original post you all commented on. You have no clue how great of copper he and his partner are. Really, if you knew half of what I know, you wouldn't have ever wrote your comments.
Bad coppers like you guys are giving us a shitty public image and frankly disgust me. Stop making us look bad and quit. Especially if you're so fucking disgruntled.

I was taking the L from 35th street and counted 21 ubmarks sitting in De La Salle parking lot.
Whats up with that? Are the hotshot's from 35th hiding the cars they are not suppose to have?
4/30/2010 03:38:00 PM
Those are the OPS (IPRA) rides lol
who monitors the gps of tru , msf and saturation teams
haha about 3 hiours a day in assigned area
come on masters, jfled do your job and have the clout babies assist district beat cars
one man beat cars and the clout babies spend a few hours a day assisting us in districts
where is the supervision on CPD
pam zekman or walter jacobson investigate the citizens and ditrict police need your help
shows how clueless you are, we only have a few cars with GPS and we park them in the districts so it appears we are there, the rest of the time we are out at 42 shorts michigan home, its only a hour drive and he always has beer on tap...
"These are the guys who have never worked tac, gangs, sat team, gun team, mission team or a even plain cloths on the watch."
So you think only working one of these things gets you experience as a hard worker on this job? I think too many of these people you mentioned forgot how to wear a uniform, handle 30 jobs, write 5 reports and sneak a drive-thru lunch between paper jobs on a regular day. Yeah, 2 hour lunches 4 districts away and locking up a 50 year old drinker..that sure gives tax-payers their money worth.
CAN I GET AN AMEN!
But at least for the summer months, our fearless tact teams will be wearing the blue.
OH MY GOD! What if some citizen flags them down and demands a report because their neighbors dog keeps shitting on his lawn!!
The Department hasnt put anything new into MSF except for a couple new Xerox machines.
Well, look on the bright side. At least you will have a crisp, clear copy of the CR"s that you get.
Just read the 90 page report on City of Chicago pensions. Not good.
Anybody retiring within 5 years should be ok...as long as the white shirt gold star sellouts are alive to collect. Its the 2 year wonders that are screwed.
It appears their web site is getting revamped. I have found the arbitrators opinions on other sites like: http://www.iapa-il.org/news/news.htm.

Once again a guy who thinks that out of X number of coppers he knows the two that are the best at it.
The disgruntled one seems to be the author of the post, and you.
The two guys may be great cops, but senority still rules.
Again, the author could have taking his boys spot or even volunteered to go with him.
Back in the day I was sent to thr Summer Mobile Force by reverse senority my partner bid to go with. That's how things worked back in thr day.
If you or the other guys still think being super-cop will get you some where then I feel sorry for you.
Do the work because you like it not because you think it will get you something.

Officers on this detail, please document the condition of your vehicles and down the car if it is unsafe. Make these m*****f**kers squirm. This is a great opportuniy to put the city on notice.
4/30/2010 06:33:00 AM<<<
Maybe those 'USELESS HUMPERS' aren't so useless. Document vehicle deficiencies on them, your sergeant signs them, your WC signs them and they go into the DC files. But, if you note a vehicle problem, do something about it, there's a lot of cry babies out there who point things out about the damn cars but will not call the R-Man or take a car in for service.
Get the Car Fixed.
It goes without saying. If you down a car for safety issues then it is not to be used until the problem is corrected. So refuse to drive the vehicle. If you are ordered to use the vehicle use the vehicle. Don't disobey a direct order. However, before obeying the direct order and driving off in that unsafe vehicle complete a To-From- Subject- report indicating the problems and objections to the use of the vehicle. When you get in that accident and get injured or die make sure you or your spouse sue the fuck out of them. Got it.
Pain in the ass, yes. If you want change do what has to be done.

The only fucking disgruntled here seems to be you and your idol, super-cop buddy. Whah whah..they took my eyes and ears...whah whah. Why God...why the good ones??!! All that plain clothes experience down the drain...whah whah.
Instead of creating a new summer unit to pretend to show police presence...they should have just disbanded MSF,TRU, and SAT Teams and brought all those P.O.s back to districts on Watches...The above mentioned units should only exist or be created when manpower in the districts are met...

From 6 years ago? The only 'witness' quoted for the article is a limo driver.
...and this is news? Even if it
IS true? (and that's a real big IF)
There are far more important things to be concerned about than whether or not BHO stayed at the same hotel as a female staffer during a campaign that ran six years ago. If it took this long to come out, it's really doubtful anything subtantial witnesses can be found, or will step forward.
moving on...

You need to STFU until you have enough years on this job to walk in their shoes. Do your job and don't worry about other "disgruntled" people. All you hair gel police think your the best thing to come on this department and we couldn't do without you. Others have worked just as hard as you and been in your shoes, now YOU need to see things from their point of view. Oh, I forgot, you CAN"T because you haven't been there yet. So again, STFU and learn like we did. Experience is the best teacher and you obviously have none.
