Details Safe for Now

  • New Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s campaign trail idea of taking away Ald. Ed Burke’s security detail to put a few more Chicago police officers on the streets won’t be coming to fruition.

    The mayor’s handpicked police superintendent, Garry McCarthy, said today that he can’t pull back Burke’s police bodyguards.

    “It's mandated by a court,” McCarthy said. “So I don't have the authority to change a court decision.”

What court was this? A court can order up police details? Based on what? Threats from 30 years ago? And that other threat that just happened to pop up after Rahm initially made noises of cutting the Burke detail? That was awfully convenient and predicted here weeks in advance of the actual occurrence.

Oh wait - it must have been Judge Ann Burke, right?

Can someone smarter then me or a lawyer be able to find this court order and post it here. If there is truely a court order, would it not be public record? Whoever made this supposed threat in early 80's would be some 50-60 years old by now. How much of a threat can this person be to him now?

Sooo we can waste millions fighting the US Constitution in the US Supreme Court but won't contest a local court ruling? Total bs.

Spending millions fighting the unions and their contracts and will settle a case with a shithead. I see a pattern.

Hey Burke,

I know.....you're a big time wheeler and dealer so let's make a deal.

You give that little seven year old girl that was sexually molested less than a mile from your castle the six coppers that YOU'VE TAKEN AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE TO provide for your own personal security -- then give CAPS and the residence of the ward a description of the person(s) that made personal threats against you AND WE'LL PASS OUT FLYERS FOR YOU!!

WE'LL PASS OUT THE FLYERS AND TELL PEOPLE TO WATCH OUT FOR THE GUY!!! We'll tell everyone to be vigilant. That should make you feel safe!

The same Courts system that has his wife...I'm sure she made judge on her own merit and not her husbands clout. I'm sure it's purely coincidental that he was a powerful pol and she became Judge....
I'm sure Ed Burke did not agree to have his wife NOT kick him off the ballot in return for his bodyguard detail....
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain ....

Funny thing, I watch one channel and the Police boss said about the court order. I turn channels and there is Mr. Burke with some stupid old man hat on mumbling the very same thing like he has no choice, "it's a court order". They both Must have just left a press strategy meeting with mayor daley III. Seemed to me they both need to practice that lie a little more so they can believe themselves...

Did I hear it right though? The "court" mandated it for 25 years back in 1986? In '86 he probably figured he'd be done stealing the city blind by the time 25 years had passed. But that would mean it is expiring sometime this year, no?

If that mandate is renewed by a Cook Cty judge, THAT judge should be targeted for defeat in the next retention election.

I'm just sayin.

If Burke had returned his six bodyguards/drivers/gofers to patrol duties in the 8th District, which includes his ward, then maybe the rape of the 7 year old that he spoke about yesterday might of been prevented.

If City Clerk Mendoza gave up her bodyguards/drivers/gofers then maybe we would have less gang banging in her neighborhood.

Back in 1986 Burke only had 2 police officers assigned to him. How did the detail grow to 6 useless bodies?

Burke runs the Democratic Central Committee that slates the judges. One doesn't get a ballot slot without slating by the Central Committee. They owe him their judgeship.

Think he has any problem finding a judge willing to give him a judge's order? They would trip over each other for the privilege of signing that order.

Hope somebody researches old newspapers and court docs on this...Who threatened Burke? When? Under what circumstances? Wasn't the threat against his wife who represented some Outfit guy? Please post a picture of the person who made the threat back in 86. what does he look like today? Does he live in an Old Folks Home? Is he even alive? If there was, in fact, a court order at one time, does that mean it's good in perpetuity? Even Restraining Orders and Peace Bonds have expiration dates, etc. How can this "Court Order" remain valid forever with no periodic review or renewal?

Think about it, if Burke were a real man, or a real former cop, or a politician with some showmanship and class, he'd strap on an old wheel gun, his star and drive himself everywhere... with some bravado like former Mayor, Long John Wentworth would have done. As it is, his attempt at looking important by being surrounded 24/7 by a 5 or 6 man police detail just exposes him for what he truly is: a pussy.

Burke played this thing all wrong. He could have looked like a real cowboy -- afraid of nothin... Instead, he chose to look like a wimp. If he would hve been a man about it, he would have ingratiated himself with the real police, the citizens and the press and would have realized his dream of becoming Mayor of this town long ago. He didn't have the courage or the vision to follow that road. Instead, he hid in the bushes.

As for McCarthy, to blindly accept the BS line that "It's a Court Order" and then regurgitate that puke to his troops, the people and the press, makes him a real pussy too. If he were a real copper, he would have investigated this - found out the real deal - and then gone to see Burke - one on one - to tell him the gig's up...

These two wimps are a disgrace to real Irishmen everywhere. Where have you gone John L. Sullivan? A lonely Nation turns its eyes to you :(

Ummm... didn't they ammend the law allowing aldermen to carry concealed? why does he need body guards if he can arm himself? Six officer's making 110 thousand a year is costing tax payers close to a million dollars a year especially with the city vehicle. Hey Burke... if concealed carry would pass for citizens you could have a million person security detail and save the tax dollars to actually hire more police like our tax dollars where alloted for.

The problem is that the people of the 14th ward and the city of Chicago want change but lack the courage to do anything about it. They keep electing this guy as alderman and for what? When there was record snowfall and I couldn’t drive my suv on the road because of the snow his Castle and street was plowed. How convenient, did he pay for it or was it out of city services? He abuses the police in that he could hire off duty CPD officers as security and pay them a decent wage from his 8 million dollar war chest but hey..He is above the law. He doesn’t believe in the second amendment as it applies to the state of Illinois but he has body guards for his security based on an incident that happened over 20 years ago. Pull the court record. The city could simply go to another judge and have that order vacated. It is that simple. Vacate the original court order. However, this requires the city to have the balls to challenge this prince. How disgusting that the residents of his ward average a family income of 50k but he lives in a building clearly not zoned for that area…but hey..This is Chicago. How can he still have a law firm that does millions of dollars of business with clients that deal directly with the city but hey...there is no conflict. The ARDC should investigate. The State’s Attorney’s office should investigate, they have a public corruption unit but hey…that is only for CPD officers that are accused of wrong doing because it is far easier to attack the police then to follow the money trial to Burke. We follow but when there is a chance for real leadership we lack the balls to do anything. Quit complaining and do something. If not now then when…? Are you going to wait until they take your pensions in order to pay for Burke’s benefits? Corruption…..that is Illinois, Corruption and it starts and ends with Ed Burke.

Isn't it funny how the cities elite political apparatus can create challenge after challenge to written laws in the US constitution -- burn up millions of taxpayers dollars and spend endless hours of the cities limited resources when it comes to trying to takeaway our rights to bear arms and other constitutional freedoms as well.

Yet when it comes to their personal compensation and benefits that effects their social economic status we immediately hear that's untouchable!!

Oh there's a court order? Now everyone just shut-up about it YOU HEAR ME! So we're suppose to drop it.

Yeah it's the law -- a judge said so.....30 years ago right?

Well....

Send someone down to the courthouse and get that 30 year old court order modified or rescinded. That's all.

Times are way different now then they were back then.

Hey, If you feel that your life is in that much danger then don't take the position that's all.

If one alderman feels that he/she is a target because of the power that they have then take away that power because the taxpayers can not afford it.

I say the answer is to take away some of that power and re-distribute it to others so the alderman can sleep at night and the taxpayers can save money.

How long do we continue to pay for these millionaires security detail anyway...FOREVER?

Are the taxpayers going to continue to pay for Burke's security even after he's no longer an alderman like we do for the ex-mayor?

A precedent is being set to do it for all the alderman and the city just cannot afford it!

It needs to stop!

Six more cops on the street is six more cops no matter how you slice it. Add in Daley's detail and you have more.

How many more seven year old's need to be sexually molested or shot at a playground before it ends.

In a wierd sort of way, I actually feel sorry for you all. You can artionalize that the extra money came in handy, you had a little better level of lifestyle, etc., but you cannot actually say with any sincerity that "bodyguarding" that enbodiment of evil and corruption and his minions served any purpose other than lining your pockets with soiled lucre. I actually pray for you...I really do. It COULD NOT BE WORTH IT. And the sickest part of this whole fiasco is that both burke and shortshanks could afford a WHOLE ARMY of bodyguards, but this broken system is still being bled dry by then and their percieved belief that they are entitled to all this.

"Rahm will never take Burke to court to cut the detail. Both of them know this. Burke should be ashamed of having multiple coat holders at such a high price, plus two luxury cars."

he would be ashamed, if he were a person of integrity, and character...

It's time for the Real CPD, along with FOP Support, to picket Burkes Law Office and Shitty Hall Office.

Watch out, Burke will get another judge's order prohibiting such an activity and also he will get to increase his bodyguard detail to 16 officers and 2 sergeants due to the increased danger level of being picketed by men with guns.

And he will get an additional city car to act as a decoy. Or maybe a helicopter, yeah, that's the ticket, Ed Burke's helicopter! I bet Ed knows a judge who will order such a thing.

the threats conviently reappear every so often just ask anyone in the DOC or CPIC. Alderman claims a threat, a big investiagtion is done (pod cameras are reviewed, multi-page packet completed) and its sent off for follow-up. They usually are anonymous phone calls that in the age of caller-id, never seem to be able to be traced.

This susposed threat was made during the infamous "council wars" involving then Mayor Harold Washington. Well that was in 1986"council wars" ended long ago, Harold Washington is dead, what threat is there in 2011? Burke touts being an ex-policeman, all the ones I know can take care of themselves, without bodyguards, even after locking up felons, gang-bangers, murderers, etc. And they drive their own cars

The guys is a multi-millionaire, considers himself to be a "renaissance" man, sometimes breaking into Latin, to impress his constituents, many of whom are burdened by Bridgeport and Canaryville accents . Surely such a nobleman can afford his own security to protect him from the rabble.


Well, to be fair, he had to learn latin to be able to converse with all the latin king voters in his precinct. They speak latin, right?

Was Judge Burke one of the judges that ruled on Rahms residency issue, in his favor I believe?

hey mccarthy , did you read court order or are you repeating what burke told you to say
does it demand 6 body guards and an unmarked car
assign burke 1 uniformed officer per watch in a marked police car

take away neeley and citizen daley detail , no court order for them

you are the new jfled , afraid to make a decision , but you allow police officers to work 1 Man cars after dark in the ghetto , oh yeah you're no better than jfled

we respond to calls 1 man , no one to drive us , open doors or carry our clip boards

new boss worse than old boss at least jfled dumped 70 commanders by now

Note to ED BURKE:

Your detail wasn't such a big deal as long as we had enough police in our ranks so our neighborhoods had protection.

So if you are smart, you should divert attention from this sideshow and be screaming at Rahm and your fellow Aldermen...

HIRE MORE POLICE!!! The academy should be running two shifts a day.

Give the citizens what they are paying for!

For God's sake we have the G-8 and NATO summits coming here and there will be people coming in organized groups not to protest but to raise hell because to them that is how they have fun. Look what happened to Ottawa and Seattle.

(Posted as a comment on the Chicago Tribunes website story of, "McCarthy says court order means Burke to keeps his detail".

But I had to use he++ instead of hell.)

McCarthy's response should have been we will immediately request Corp. Counsel file a motion to vacate this 1986 order. Secondly, Security Specialists have been demoted from D-3 to D-1 on 21 June 2011. However, these new 9161's were sent to Mass Transit, Detached Services and 189. This Department is a scam!
