Eddie Negotiates

We've been ripping on him endlessly for not doing the right thing regarding the cheating scandal.

We suppose we ought to point out when he does something right:
  • A retired Chicago Police officer who barricaded herself inside a South Shore neighborhood home Tuesday evening came out peacefully after meeting with CPD Supt. Eddie Johnson, police said.

    Someone called police about 4:15 p.m. for a well-being check on the former officer, a woman in her 50s who was dealing with “personal hardships,” at the home in the 7700 block of South Paxton, police spokesman [...] said.

    When officers arrived, she refused to come out and threatened to harm herself, he said. SWAT team members responded along with negotiators, and the woman said she wanted to talk to Johnson, according to police.

    Johnson left a community meeting downtown to go to the house about 8:30 p.m. He went inside to talk to the woman, who came outside with him about 9:40 p.m. [...]

    Johnson went with her to Rush University Medical Center, where she was being evaluated Tuesday night.
The right thing. The decent thing. The noble thing.

Now fix the promotional scandal, girlfriend and all Eddie. Otherwise your good acts are tarnished by your omissions.

It's not Johnson's job to investigate the alleged Examscam II scandal. Questions and pressure should all be directed to either IAD or the IG's office.

Eddie is a decent guy. Most of the fault for the cheating lies with Gene Williams. (By the way, is Gene retiring under investigation?) As for the cheating, no it is not right,but things like this have been going on since the CPD was founded. Do you really think that some of the old Irish bosses on this job made it legitimately? This job has never been fair and never will be. So don't be so upset now that the Blacks and Hispanics are doing it. Sure there are bad and bigoted black bosses on this job, and I worked for some, but I can honestly say that I have been treated better by some black bosses than by many white ones. I could name a few names but I won't. If I did, one of them might surprise you. Before I get flamed I am a white guy with a lot of time on the job. I am no bleeding heart and have the same attitudes about this job and the "community" as most of the rest of us.

Eddie will never have the respect of the Sergeants until:

1. He acknowledges the Lt Exam cheating scandal.
2. He acknowledge that he had knowledge of it and he participated.
3. Disciplines his "girlfriend" Fenner of the 009th district.
4. Disciplines Hall, Ward and the rest of the IAD cheaters.
5. Fairly disciplines himself, and publicity apologizes to the entire CPD!
6. Charge that retired rat Eugene Williams for theft.
7. Publicity acknowledge that unNOBLE has no morals and is a corrupt, dishonest organization.

That is a start.

Good job helping an officer in a time of trouble.
You were very brave in meeting her face to face.
You have shown that you are a good man in many ways.
Now please use that same bravery to do the hardest thing you will ever do.
Tell the truth and demand everyone else tell the truth about the exams and merit promotions.
You can make a major change for the CPD by doing this.

Leo I know you have a lust for policing maybe we need the national guard now!

What this job does after you retire is NOTHING FOR RETIREES. Many companies often check on thier retired people. Maybe a simple e mail or phone call. Or a 2 or 3 time department sponsored informal get together. It's simple things in life that help as you get oldrr. For some leaving this job is a big negative especially when you did your job and loved going to work. Not like a dogass who hated the job and just collected a check. I still say offer part time Jobs to retirees in the dept.

You can ask Gene Williams himself if you go watch him accept his award at the next awards ceremony. I don't know what he did to deserve an award, but I'm sure he'll get a nice round of applause instead of the boos he deserves.

Somehow I don't think Eddie will ever open up about the exams, and if he did, he would likely end up in a body bag. The problem is too deep, and too wide for it to happen. It goes far deeper then the deepest root... Decades of involvement from far too much brass and higher. It just won't happen.

Agreed good job, here is a question Eddie you were on TV last night stating clearly "dante Severin will not get his retired credentials as he is leaving under investigation" Now what about Williams? The so called paid protestors are calling remove Severins pension, how can they even think about it! The law is sometimes strange to thuglife and black lies matter crew but sorry it is the LAW! Then you have a thug leader saying "Severin left 2 weeks before he could of been fired" LOL that is funny, first how are you so sure he would be "fired?" Secondly he did what was best for himself and he had attorneys advice, sorry moron thug I would of done the same retiring and getting a pension! Could you please big mouth black lies matter moron what you have done for work in your illustrious career?

Not Monday morning quarterbacking the media spins everything against police makes better news when they attack police the cowards never "investigate" just anti-police spin as chiraq spins faster into the toilet!

You don't speak for "the Sergeants," speak for yourself. Eddie has my respect and the respect of quite a few others I know. He has lot to work on but don't expect quick miracles. The investigation is in the hands of the IG, IAD already blew it as usual.

OT: Eugene Williams is being honored at the upcoming Annual Recognition Ceremony. EUGENE WILLIAMS! The same Eugene Williams who is accused of being the ringleader in a cheating scandal which will ultimately cost hardworking legitimate candidates their chance at promotion. What are they honoring him for? Is it his integrity, or perhaps his honesty? This department should be embarrassed to have him included in a ceremony meant to honor HEROES.

Some seriously delusional people posting here. Do you really think that EJ gives a fuck about 'your respect?' That he will initiate discipline against people in an investigation he has not part of? And disciplining himself? REALLY?? What wrongdoing is EJ being accused of? EJ will be where he is until the Mayor says otherwise...now go get your shine box!
