History Repeats in 002

  • Two Chicago police officers were arrested on federal theft charges after they allegedly stole $5,200 from a man they believed was a drug courier but who in fact was secretly cooperating with federal authorities.

    According to the charges unsealed today, federal agents secretly videotaped the theft as Officer Kallatt Mohammed, driving in his personal car, took the cash from the informant last November in the 2700 block of South Vernon Avenue.

    The second officer, Sgt. Ronald Watts, later met with the informant and handed him $400 for tipping the officers off to his courier assignment.
So who is going to be the multiple "merit" promoted individual from this 002 District scandal like CW was how many years ago?

And this part is just priceless:

  • Both are assigned to the Wentworth District tactical unit. Watts is also the financial secretary for the Chicago Police Sergeants’ union.
Someone better tell the sergeants to count all the money they had left over from the last indicted board member and see if it checks out.

UPDATE: Language altered slightly so as not to paint with so broad a brush.

Ain't no amount of money worth going to jail for. Don't these cops see what has been going down in the past. There are so many snitches on the street this game doesn't play anymore. Need more money? Get a second part time job.

WATTS had no access to any union cash. Only the president AND treasurer together make moves with expenses now.

The problem with the sergeants union is they have 15 positions to fill and out of 1090+ sergeants, NO ONE takes any interest in running for any of these spots unlike the FOP.

Unfortunately they got stuck with a dog like this.

Watts and his team from Housing which included Mohammed were dirty over 10 years ago. I'm surprised it took this long for them to get taken down. And I'm really surprised that more of his team didn't get caught up in this indictment.....

scumbags. I hope you two thugs rot in prison. Hey sarge, what goes around comes around right??? To all who think this guy was just set up once and this is isolated to a single incident you are sorley mistaken. This sgt is a PRO at ripping people off.. Its just a shame the department did nothing in the past when all of his beefs were coming in for the past 3 or 4 years of stealing money and running with the gang bangers. He was a straight up pro at robbing the dope man. Every thug in 002 and 021 knows "the sarge" and they also know which day is Tax day. Im glad it finally caught up with him and Im glad the feds got involved... I think the department and IAD kept this guy out on the street when he should have been in handcuffs. I hope they trick and take other mutts on that team down.. believe me, there are others.. especially the team mates. It is a very very dirty team and this is NOT an isolated one time incident. I was cheering when I heard this news. You disgraced us all, and Im glad you can no longer taint our department anymore...thug

The remaining money at the Sgt Association is still safe. Any Sgt knows they can check it out themselves during office hours. The financial secretary has NO AUTHORITY to access to any account, NONE! Never did. This Sgt has only held office less than 30 days. And the treasurer is very good.

Was working a murder over on Browning many years ago and a few witnesses were terrified of these morons. Their thuggish behavior cost us witness participation, a probable conviction, and the city on the hook for a civil suit. Do not think this behavior doesn't reverberate in many directions.
This was a long time coming. By the way... Can we promote the next candidate off the Sgt's list to take this useless cocksucker's position? I am sure he or she would be thrilled at the chance, act like a professional, and make us proud.

Sgt. Watts was the financial secretary for the Sgts PBPA for approximately 30 days. He gained enough signatures and ran unapposed as did most candidates. He had no control of any money. He was the recording financial secretary. This alleged incident had no connection with the PBPA. I'm not defending him just stating the facts.

From a troll: Look, there are going to be a few bad apples in every bunch. Clout hires and merit promotions in a corrupt city and corrupt court system breed this possibility. That is true everywhere and I don't care where you work, even in the Archdiocese. We citizens know this and generally yawn at these stories from the corrupt media. Only the swashbuckling, flamboyant stories from the SOG a number of years ago catch our attention. Frankly, if someone is going bad targeting criminals is better than other people in my view. But when you are jumped on the camera leaving court, simply profess your innocense and walk away. Do not run off. Never run off. One last thing, do not take your wife or anyone else to court with you.

Instead of convincing yourselves that they're all just 'shitheads' or they're just 'ungrateful civilians', think long and fucking hard about all the corrupt shit you know is going on in your district or others, but you aren't saying anything about it.

THAT, is why otherwise good people have a negative view of the CPD, THAT is why you are not entitled to cry when you're shit on... and who gets screwed? John Q Patrol, honest, doing his job, shouldering the damaged reputation because nobody in the CPD has the sack to rid your own rotten apples.

Was in Public Housing South in the mid thru late 90's. Entire tac teams being in on stealing money fron dope boys was common. It was open & notorious. When my partner and I came to one such team, we were green and had no idea. One night, we catch a dope boy dirty. We went into the unit, where we inventoried the dope AND ALL of$1,500.00 the dope boy had. A few minutes later, a certain Sgt (now in jail) arrives and pulls us to the side. Asks us how much did we GET & how much did we INVENTORY? When we informed him we'd inventoried every dam penny, he went apeshit. Basically accused us of holding out on him. Next day in role call, he called us out, in front of the team. Told them we weren't to be trusted because we weren't team players. We stood our ground and told him we weren't going to jail for his bullshit. For the next 2 weeks, were isolated from the rest of the team. Never told what was going on. Still, we went out got numbers on our own. Two weeks later, when the period ended, we were inexplicably assigned to another team. (laughing my ass off) Much to our delight.
You can't imagine the joy I felt when a few years later, after leaving Housing, I get a call, informing me that that Sgt was caught by the Feds, doing his bullshit. And that his right hand lapdog had been caught up too. A neraly 30 year career down the drain. Couldn't happen to nicer guy.

I hope not to see a flyer that says 10-1 benefit for these guys. I don't like that fact that they have benefits for guys that fucked up on or off duty. That's their problem for being stupid.

No shit! Most of us don't mind when the department goes after a copper for nonsense while in their performance of their duty and cost the officer some time off. We then gladly attend benefits and would generously contribute.

But, some of it is so ridiculous that I can not believe is being condoned by upper management.

It's like the sgt in OCD allegedly getting pissed off at an upscale restaurant a few years ago for not getting a "break", for allegedly discharging his mace on camera. The Sgt. then ends up getting stripped, "detailed" back to the building in an admin position and now an exempt allegedly sends out an email a few weeks ago to every supervisor in building to strong arm all the PO's for more $ after allegedly already having two fund raisers already.

Don't get me wrong. WE DON'T mind helping other coppers out for legit shit but when does it stop with the nonsense? I have to feed a family, pay a mortgage, private schools and work side gigs to make ends meet because I'm a nobody PO who plays it straight. The question here should be would the same efforts be put in motion with the benefits and emails be generated for the average officer who allegedly committed the same "mistake"?

Instead of convincing yourselves that they're all just 'shitheads' or they're just 'ungrateful civilians', think long and fucking hard about all the corrupt shit you know is going on in your district or others, but you aren't saying anything about it.

THAT, is why otherwise good people have a negative view of the CPD, THAT is why you are not entitled to cry when you're shit on... and who gets screwed? John Q Patrol, honest, doing his job, shouldering the damaged reputation because nobody in the CPD has the sack to rid your own rotten apples.

Never had a hunch asshole? Never had a feeling but just couldn't put your finger on it? It's easy to come on here and anonymously throw stones you occupy prick. There is a reason they didn't conduct their dirty business at the station...they didn't want other officers to know what they were doing. If you were the police, you would know that. But, you are just some anonymous troll standing on a soapbox with a sheet over your head. When you make accusations...you better be damn sure and have proof in this city...or the aldermen will have your ass for calling out one of theirs. That's how things work in this liberal ass city, numbnuts.

Guys-everybody DOES NOT hate you. There are good people and bad people in every profession, law enforcement is no different. I have said it before and I will continue to say it: Thank you CPD for the work you do to keep order and to try to make the city better. It is appreciated.

It was well known to any decent officer working in 002 that these two and along with their associates were dirty. The best thing to do on this job is to keep your nose clean and get a good night's sleep. Then repeat the process all over again until you retire.

Also, more officers from tact are going down. The so called Mayor of Ida B. Wells is going to take down a couple of officers with him.

People, especially these two are so stupid. Many CPD officers have gone down like this, by the stings set-up by feds. I have seen one survive a probe like this and I don't know how, but with video yeah, not good. Sad, all those years, time in the job and career down the toilet. I hope others learn from it. No money is worth it, never has been and never will. It really bothers that a scum bag informant took down two cops, we should know better and nothing excuses it. We can't seem to stay out of the news, always something.

Honestly, that sgt should be given the "dumbest" award of the year. Sgts make ample and more than enough. I have seen some sustain multiple households. I just don't get why someone who obviously had some juice would just toss it all away. Especially if he belong to some part of his Sgt's union, the man had it all. Some we struggle to survive the politics of the job, some get blessed and embarrass the department. Just a damm shame. If money is tight just get a secondary job. Now their families are going to endure the shame.

These fellows had so much more than many people have today -- a steady job, a car, a nice house to call their own -- it doesn't have to be so big or fancy, but there is food and a warm bed to lie down and rest in. Authority too, some power, and a gun to protect themselves with, night and day.

Still not happy.

I remember, what was it, the four that they stripped in 016 some time back, they were all close to retirement, had the fishing places up in Wisconsin, money in the bank, you name it -- and they were shaking down illegal Polish carpenters. Just look outside the Polish bars for the work trucks with ladders on Friday night, payday-in-cash.

They didn't even need the money. They were just going to Vegas to drink and blow it all at the tables.

"[They're] the enemy on both sides of the bars now..alone cold and lonely..."

It's only going to get worse with this DSS farce. Being in and around area 2, there have been several times when a sgt was the DSS and there was 1 sgt on the street trying to supervise 15-20 cars. Impossible!!! Until this dept starts hiring and promoting shit will keep happening and making us all look bad.

2/14/2012 08:09:00 AM

I am going to go out on a limb and guess you aren't an Officer, so I'll explain:

It's not like TV. The 'bad cop' doesn't walk up to the 'good cop', show his hand and try to entice the good guy over to the dark side.

The bad guy gets on the job and steals what he can in the shadows. Sometimes other bad cops get a hint of a 'bad cop' and they throw in together. They usually rob dope dealers and other bad guys who don't complain. Good cops know bad guys on and off the job and we stay away from them. There are no cameras, no tricky set ups and no real proof. You know that most of the Serpico movie was fiction, right?

Our own version of Serpico had the "Chicago" twist to it. They caught the dirty cop, enticed her to flip on her team of outlaws to stay out of jail, and then let her stay on the job.

They, in their infinite wisdom, then try to make her a star. They meritoriously promote her several times, and in the final straw that broke the back of every 'good cop', they make her an Inspector. Inspectors chase good cops around and write them up for minor infractions and cost good cops money for these infractions.

There is no real proof of bad cops being bad, we just know they are. That doesn't hold up in court. We actually hate these guys because they bring discredit to us. Given a choice, we'd like to see them locked up, or worse.

If you are a decent citizen, you have absolutely NOTHING to worry about with most bad cops. They only steal from other bad guys. Are there cops shaking down good people on traffic stops or the like? I doubt that goes on in this day and age, thank God. If you should be a victim, call IPRA or IAD. Trust us, we, the good cops, would appreciate it.

The court appearance for these two mutts probably cost $5,000. Will they ever learn?

Over the summer I worked hard to watch what I spent on bullshit, just tighten the belt a bit. By Christmas I had a bit over $5,000 saved, I was surprised. And no indictment, no visits to Federal Buildings, no running away from the cameras and microphones. Amazing.

But I also have no kids in private schools, no bad habits, no stiff mortgage payments, I drive a 10 year old car and the only thing I really spend money on is that pile I keep socking away in Deferred Comp.

And these guys just saw their police career go down the toilet, pensions gone etc. Their best bet now is to get some cheap lawyer, plead guilty and do the time.

When the Feds grab you, you are grabbed.

was at an area when an exempt was discussing g8 with another boss...
interesting conversation, the gold star was talking the shift changes with 1st and 2nd working 12 hours shifts to cover for the 3rd watch guys going downtown.

the part that caught my ear was when he said downtown is going to watch how the 12 hour shifts work out...that they did a manpower study and 12 hour shifts work best with a lower amount of manpower

12 hours shifts citywide, early/late starts with rapids covering overlap

2on/2off/4on/3off or 2on/3off/5on/2off

People who have come forward in this City know that retaliation is inevitable. This is true in my department (not CPD). If you're lucky or smart enough to survive the initial attack, you're less inclined to make further reports of wrongdoing.

I recall officers on the watch complaining about the tact guys in Englewood. No one listened. The district commander was the former tact lieutenant. His former partner was head of IAD. Complain and you are the dirtbag and will have problems. The 002 tact team was corrupt in the early 80's and that is why the gambling operations moved there. Nothing new here. Reform starts at the top, from the mayor to the superinttendent to the alderman. Phony merit promotions, insider deals and contracts, incompetents running department units, this all has an impression on police officers.
