FOP Files Against COPA

And let the fireworks begin (click for a larger READABLE version):


Lest anyone miss the point, the entire new Use of Force policy, from construction to disciplinary enforcement, was put together without any input from the FOP and almost no input from the rank-and-file. Lawyers and bean counters failed to survey other Departments, and dismissed/disregarded the input from those who actually did seek out "best practices" to find what actually worked in real life.
  • Your fate is not your own;
  • Nothing is ever closed any more - ever - even years later;
  • You are tied to the political winds - extra heat = extra pain for you
  • Even if you're legally sound, you will be hammered administratively
Don't doubt it.

You do realize that there is no legitimate fight here, right?

The employer is allowed to enforce the law and to make the guidelines very clear to the employees.

This is a dog and pony show to win over dumb people like you.

Five bottles of Powerade Zero: 89 cents each — plus 32 cents per bottle Cook County sweetened beverage tax. Zero calories, zero sugar.

Total shelf price: $4.45.

Total Cook County beverage tax, allegedly collected to fight obesity, diabetes and heart disease: $1.60.

Chicago beverage tax (3 percent): 13 cents.

At checkout, we tossed an impulse buy into the cart.

One Reese's Peanut Butter Cup: 200 calories, 12 grams of fat, 19 grams of sugar, 150 mg of sodium.

Shelf price: $1

Nanny taxes: Zero.

Merchandise total: $5.45

Sales tax (10.25 percent): 56 cents

Total taxes: $2.29, or 42 percent

Yes, 42 percent. (If you remember your algebra, you know the percentage would be even higher if not for that lightly taxed Reese’s cup.)

Our $5.45 purchase ends up costing $7.74.

So tell us again, Cook County commissioners, that the beverage tax will make residents healthier. Tell us how adding more than a third to the price of a sugar-free sports drink protects our children. Tell us why that candy bar is OK.

Or tell us the truth, which is that you didn’t set out to reduce obesity, diabetes and heart disease — you set out to make $200 million a year without raising property taxes. That health shtick is a pretense plainly contradicted by that untaxed Reese’s sugar-and-fat bomb. Do you think taxpayers are stupid?

Think again.

Think long and hard.

Next month, you’ll have a chance to repeal this disingenuous ordinance. You can replace it with a fair and honest tax, if you can make the case for one, or you can sharpen your pencils and cut expenses. What you can’t do is leave the beverage tax in place and hope your constituents will forget about it. It’s right there on the receipt, and too big to miss.

This tax is a whopper — in more ways than one.

Taxpayers, check your receipts.

Then check this list of commissioners who voted “yes” for this tax in November. If you’d like to offer guidance, give them a call:

Luis Arroyo Jr., D-Chicago, 312-603-8530.

Jerry "Iceman" Butler, D-Chicago, 312-603-6391.

John Daley, D-Chicago, 312-603-4400.

Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, D-Chicago,

312-603-5443.

Edward Moody, D-Chicago Ridge, 312-603-4216.

Stanley Moore, D-Chicago, 312-603-2065.

Deborah Sims, D-Chicago, 312-603-6381.

Larry Suffredin, D-Evanston, 312-603-6383.

The late commissioner Robert Steele, D-Chicago, was in the hospital during the vote, forcing board President Toni Preckwinkle — 312-603-6400 — to break an 8-8 tie with a “yes” vote. Steele was replaced by Dennis Deer, D-Chicago, 312-603-3019.

Pick up the phone. And share your soda tax totals on Twitter: #TweetYourReceipt to @Trib_ed_board.

Rahm a cabana (He formed the Copa)" (To the tune of Copa cabanna)

His name was Rahm, he was the mayor
With 50 thieves in his lair and taxes up to there
he would legislate and do the TIF funds
And while he tried to be a star
Madigan always tended bar
Across the crowded city, they stole without pity
They always asked for more!!

[Chorus:]
He formed the copa, To screw the Coppers
The crookedest spot of all , next to city hall
Where Lying with a passion is always the fashion
At the copa.... Rahm lost his police

His name was Van Dyke
He wore a Star
He responded to a call, he saw Laqan dancing there
And when he saw the knife, he yelled drop it or your life.
But Van Dyke went a bit to far
He should have stayed in the car
And then the bullets flew and Laqan was smashed in two
There was Cop and 16 gun shots
Rahm Knew who shot who
But he lied to you

[Chorus:]
He formed the copa, To screw the Coppers
The crookedest spot of all , next to city hall
Where Lying with a passion is always the fashion
At the copa.... Rahm lost his police

His name is Rahm, he was a mayor
But that was many years ago, when he used to have a show
Now it's a Black lives matter, but not for rahm
Still in suit he used to wear
The thieves have fled his lair
he sits there so refined, and drinks himself half-blind
he lost his teachers and he lost his cops
Now he's lost his mind
At the copa... don't lose your job
Don't vote for Rahm

It appears that FOP finally has realized the term: "Competent Counsel", is more than just words strung together. At this point, as I have stated before, Rahm's hatred of the Chicago Police Department knows no bounds.He has thrown CPD to its enemies. CPD destroyed Rahm's dream of being President. And the Van Dyke trial will be the last nail in Rahm's Political Coffin, whatever the outcome. The destruction of the morale of the Chicago Police Department will have an impact on everyone who resides in this City's quality of life. And the influx of new officers is not going to change that direction. Because millennial cops have far greater expectations than their predecessors, and with the exception of those with prior military or college sport experience; are far less disciplined. The Legacy of Rahm will be ugly, but it won't matter to him, because he and his family will not be living here. Be Careful, and think of YOURSELVES First! If they really need help, have them call the ACLU. Baby "G"

Here's the deal:
Rahm gets to do whatever he wants.
He doesn't play by the rules of silly Contractual Agreements.
Political pawns are expendable.

There will be no injunction, temporary delay or freeze until an appointed judge rules on the validity of the new disciplinary rules.
It will stand and remain in effect right up to the decision, weeks-months years, whatever.
This is a Police Reform effort and City Democrats across the board are standing by their intentions and it INCLUDES Jugghead Special Ed.

If some pro-active hard-charger wants to "test" the Acting Stupidly™ Rule, expect to be COPA'ed first and foremost.
There will be no appeal process to the COPA findings.
FOP can sue all they want, trying to get a win will be next to impossible.
Never trust a Democrat to lean in our favor.

So bottom line:
Is that ghetto CB Number going to be worth it?

Unfortunately, probably won't go anywhere. FOP will have to show a pattern of discriminatory actions by COPA down the line for it to get anywhere. FOP has a legal defense fund. Time to start suing COPA investigators like P.O.'s get sued. Once the director and a few of the "investigators" get sued a bunch of times, it may work.

Today is Friday...

BOLO for a City Hall weekend anti-Police doc-dump
into the anxiously awaiting mouths of local media
which will then squat and blow it all over everything
in order to foster the narrative of The Police being
out of control and in need of being reformed into a
corner.

It's a good day for FOP to punch back
against Rahm al-Ghoul and his wholly
owned, riotously rotting to a skeleton
like something in a ghetto catch basin
("Been stankin' for a few months, ossifer!")
media propaganda apparatus.

What's really funny is when the local newsies
come here to mine the blog and hit back against
the counter narration posted here.

To note; there's a nasty undertone in the media
of, "Well if you guys were more humble and more
public servant-like and stopped being so mean
and snarly on that blog and stopped trying to
fight US back, we might be more supportive of you."

Heh...
They wouldn't infer such nonsense to Dude Inc...

Dude does shit like crash flaming cars through
the front doors of domiciles and take up shooting
positions at the back door to deal with the survivors
fleeing the flames in the front.

Chicago newsies know which side of their bread is buttered.

Policemen more or less have rules of conduct,
conditions of employment and an intact moral compass
that keeps them from settling scores like Dude Inc. does.

So you can forget any notion of local media running
at Dude Inc. as hard as they've been running at The Police.

But...

If The Police are the problem and they're "fixed" and/or
"Reformed," then we'll see the entirety of the narrative
apparatus slam on the brakes and perform a full-power
reverse to reform Dude Inc. into a corner just like
The Police.

Right?

Up Next?

This new policy is dropped, for the reasons SCC points to here, and one more special reason - it was done the WAY it was done (the way SCC points to) in order to see it removed, for those reasons, with media whores salivating and drooling all over the place with already written articles about its demise......wait for it, here it comes.....

CPD Officers reject being held accountable; New Use of Force Policy tossed out on Appeal by the P0leeeece.

This was set up TO fail, so that cops could be construed ("reported") as being opposed to oversight and accountability.

Dems can then run their 2018 campaigns on "we tried" (like they always do with failed gun legislation) and pose it to voters as if their total lock on legislative action needs to be even more of a lock and THEN they will be able to reign in those out of control cops killing black men every night in Chicago! Or something.

See the idiocy yet? Meanwhile, the lawyers soak up that money - from all sides - and then a WHOLE lot of money is laundered for the upcoming campaigns for next year.

Before the Accidental Supt. had his transplant, he was interviewed on a news program and he went to great lengths to claim how much the rank and file contributed to this policy. More lies from the gold badge club. The Captains list is yet another example how this administration has no intention of real reform except to try and appease Rahmocide with his goal to bust the police union. If that entails false charges against officers previously cleared in an OIS or involved in a future OIS - COPA is ready to be Rahm's henchman/woman.

FOP's next step should be to assemble a team of competent attorneys to assist the members after an OIS. Don't utter a word - even to inquisitive co workers - except that you are awaiting your lawyer's arrival. Let the only squeals emanate from Fairley as Rahm fires her for not attaining her 8-10% sustained rate.

Jay-Z reportedly turns down offer to perform at Super Bowl LII halftime show

http://www.latimes.com/sports/nfl/la-sp-jay-z-super-bowl-20170922-story.html

Hmm why:There has been speculation that Jay-Z said no to the Super Bowl offer as way to show support for former San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has yet to land a job in the NFL after opting out of his contract with the 49ers in May. Some people think Kaepernick has been blackballed from the league because he refused to stand for the national anthem last season as a way to protest social injustice.

Jay-Z dedicated his song “The Story of O.J.” to Kaepernick during a performance earlier this month.

The union is in complete disarray. The general mtg this week a vote of no confidence was against Preib and 1st vice president Murray was held and passed. Last week the FOP board refused to to accept Murray's monthly report!

How soon before Murray flips out and punches someone?

You do know that a lawyer funded Murray's campaign and know Murray a Preib want to fire the current lawyers and hire their own? Will they share the kickback with the rest of the field reps?

you have not been paying attention for the past many years. i retired 15 years ago and " best practices" was a term used at R&D back then regarding policies, testing etc. It has been around a long time.The city follows " best practices" only when it is to their advantage.

my conversation today with a person who was recently associated with IPRA and quit a week ago, is that COPA will be all about supervisor accountability. If you are a supervisor and show up on a scene and fail to immediately take action to the satisfaction of COPA they will hang you out to dry. The operative word is " to the satisfaction of COPA". Not what you think is the right thing to do, but what they think is the right thing to do.

125 Seattle Police officers filed a nearly identical lawsuit against their department-and subsequently lost it today. This lawsuit is a waste of time and money for the lodge. The city does not have to negotiate changes in operational orders with labor unions.

The above post has to be from either Graham or Preib. Neither has cojones. They are now called bb balls. Put out press releases to bs the troops but cave to the city. This all window dressing. FOP has already caved to the mayor in Springfield.

The union is in complete disarray. The general mtg this week a vote of no confidence was against Preib and 1st vice president Murray was held and passed. Last week the FOP board refused to to accept Murray's monthly report!

How soon before Murray flips out and punches someone?

You do know that a lawyer funded Murray's campaign and know Murray a Preib want to fire the current lawyers and hire their own? Will they share the kickback with the rest of the field reps?

You do know that Graham and the field reps are all stealing 21,600 each?

Here is someone with some brains. Bingo! A dog and pony show to swindle the dummies.... Kickbacks? Could be. But lawyers will gladly take the case to bill the union handsomely.

Does anyone think Graham does anything besides look confused on camera and sign his name to shit Prieb authors. This FOP isn't playing smart in my opinion Graham is to emotionally attached to a personal vendetta with rahm. This is a game rahm can play and I'm worried rahm has something up his sleeve. Could be as simple as tieing the union up in litigation for years costing hundreds of thousands of dollars in lawyers fees for the lodge. Remember Rahm is an old school machine guy he knows how to play dirty. And for the record I was no fan of Disabiltiy Dean, Loudmouth Shields or Mark 'the shill' Donahue

+++++++++++++++++

Where the hell did you get your facts? You must have been sleeping in labor law class or you’re not an attorney.

These orders equate to changes in working conditions. Working conditions cannot be unilaterally changed and/or implemented without negotiating the changes with the employee’s collective bargaining unit.

These orders have the potential to impact discipline and the disciplinary process that is protected by our contract.

Would you prefer the union pull an Angelo and sit idly by while the City steamrolls us?

Now go back to your apartment in your momma’s basement, have a hot cocoa, watch Golden Girls, and stop making comments if you don’t have even the slightest idea of what you are writing about.

It's easy to get overwhelmed with negativity here in Chicago with the murder and mayhem and Lib Left Democrat, BlackliesMatter one party rule.

But there is lots of good news.

President Trump has replaced Obama.

Jeff Sessions has replaced Loretta Lynch and Eric "My People" Holder as Attorney General.

All the pro criminal, anti police, BlackLiesmatter policies demanded by Loretta Lynch and Eric Holder - that's out the window. For all I know Loretta Lynch is now a deranged homeless woman living under lower Wacker Drive.

For all the active Chicago policemen having to hear this left over Loretta Lynch BS - just treat it like the Kerner Commission Report in 1968 supporting Detroit, Newark Black riots as just protests over American institutional racism. A year later Otto Kerner was in prison for corruption and Richard Law and Order Nixon was elected President.

06:13 am - Hopefully, your remark was merely sarcasm and not serious. For several years, many loyal SCC readers have commented on the relevant and eloquent posts which emanate from a blog that contains "silliness and sarcasm." Some people have stated that the SCC authors are at least college graduates - if not a masters degree holder. An occasional tweak such as "asshat" was probably included to show that we are not reading some nerdy academician but a working copper pushing a blue & white. We all know that SCC's work is routinely plagiarized by our local "journalists." And more importantly, raises the blood pressure of our nefarious mayor, his fifty thieving AlderCreatures, and the dubious gold badge club. In summary, this blog will routinely question what is questionable. It will criticize when applicable. And it will do it with the usual aplomb without constantly relying on expletives.

Thank you SCC and the commentators who make this blog viable and readable.

I took the new Use of Force 4 hr. class.

For the life of me, I don't see it as any different than it used to be. Perhaps the instructors only taught basic deadly force scenarios and avoided all the changes? Ok, I do know of one change - supervisors must canvass now after a TRR is completed, is that new? I am pretty sure it is. Oh, and there is also something about tasing 3x only.

So the supervisor thing is really only a change to how use of force is investigated, but it doesn't change when we can use force.

Sorry, but I see this as a non change. Nothing has changed. Ya, they added terminology like "sanctity of life," but I am catholic, and life has always been sacred to me, in a sense. But either way, those would do not really change anything substantively.

Am I wrong here?
