Drk, how do you think this should be fixed? How do we get demoralized cops to perform their jobs the way they should....without having to worry?
Add judge Joe Brown to the list of people that hates n-words. Watch as he owns this worthless dog

Personally, I dont think you can ever "fix" things, in terms of going back to what you had.
You had a corrupt system where the bosses demanded secret quotas from the cops (DO NOT mistake the cops with the cops at the top of their departments). The top cops jobs is to get crime down and find guys who will do their bidding. They will not put things down on paper. In the past, the cops liked some of the higher ups. These days, they dont really trust the higher ups because of cheating scandals (people giving test answers to friends/family so they can get nice cozy positions and get off the streets, get their gold stars and get bigger pensions) and other shady shit. Rahm commands the top cops, whom he also threw under the bus (McCarthy) when things got too hot for him. Why would Rahm take the blame for the Van Dyk video tape when he can just blame the CPD for shit and make them look bad and then he will do what it takes to build the trust back with the community, blah blah blah. He wanted to be President someday, and he is now political poison.
So, those at the top screw over the younger guys. Some of the younger guys REALLY enjoyed trying to fight crime. They enjoyed trying to make the city a safer place. They liked making arrests. Some guys just liked doing their jobs. Those cops were pressured to make more arrests. Get more ISRs! (Investigative Stop Reports...the paperwork you have to fill out to show you stopped someone and FOR WHAT REASON...get to this later). The Blacks felt picked on. "You are arresting too many of us Blacks. Its not proportionate to the white arrests" (well, stats showed that the blacks were committing way more crime than whites, so statistically, they SHOULD be arresting more blacks. The black civil leaders then pressured the higher ups in CPD and the Mayor. Mayor wants to get re-elected, so you better kiss Jesse's ass, Phleger's ass, the black aldermen, etc. He did. Caved in, spread his ass cheeks and made a deal with them and the ACLU to change things. Those people will ALL toss Rahm's ass under the bus any chance they get because they need to look like they are doing something for the black community and need donations.
So now, you have NEW RULES for the CPD to follow, and those ISRs are being heavily scrutinized by their bosses, then the head of CPD, then given to IPRA, then given to the ACLU, who is ***having outside PUBLIC attorneys go through these reports, and they contain PERSONAL Information on the officers***.
(Imagine going into your doctors office, getting tests done, then the doctor takes your results over to the nearest Starbucks, orders a tall, decaf mocha, and puts your test results in the tip jar for anyone to grab if they want. Who knows who the fuck these lawyers are). The police are pissed. There is now no benefit to them for trying to go "above and beyond" their job descriptions. Why should they do anything that they dont really have to do, where it could result in them losing their jobs, getting shot and/or sued? Hell no. I will sit in my car and drive around, and when you need me to go to a scene, call me, and I will respond and drive over. Dont expect me to start pulling over people who ran that stop sign, saw smoking week or doing minor violations. I dont need the fucking headaches of some pot head getting an attorney and claiming I planted weed on him (I didnt) and now Im being investigated, put on desk duty, having another (bogus) complaint put on my record, and getting fucked.
The criminals know this, so they are no longer worried about having guns in their cars (drive by shootings are now skyrocketing), and carry drugs on them openly. The judges are just going to toss their case anyway, so who cares. It might be better off if I actually got arrested by the cops, and then claimed they roughed me up in the car. I could have an attorney sue the CPD (hell, everyone hates the cops anyway right now, so I will have sympathetic ears to my case) and the city would rather pay me off than fight my bullshit lawsuit. Why not?
What can we do NOW? I dont think much of anything will happen here.
My guess is the following:
Get a Republican Mayor in, who will support the police. Odds of this happening are very remote.
Have a head of the police who will not be Rahm's puppet. He just fucked with the system last week and told the 3 candidates who were up for the position to fuck off and told a guy who worked with his interim (Escalante) that he wanted him for the position. Black cop who the cops liked, but didnt even want this top position. Rahm may have worked something out with him and made him promises. "Listen black guy...I need you in that spot to appease the black community and you are an insider that the cops respect. If you put your name in the hat, I will find ways down the road for you and your friends to get some nice jobs/pensions/kickbacks/vacations, etc"
He was looking good for his first few days, but then he paraded through the south side with Phleger, and appeared to kiss Rahm's ass with a few comments, so now the Cops are thinking, great...back to the old bullshit.
Hopefully, he will work out.
You then need to remove this ISR shit and work something out with the ACLU where they dont get to call the shots. Good luck. Unlikely.
You need the criminals to be in fear of the police (this will not happen under these rules)
You need the community to want to turn the felons in and call the police on them (they wont, for fear of getting shot)
You need mental health care and rehab for some of the people going in and being released from jail/prison (they are cutting the funding and closing these facilities, so this will likely not happen)
You need the media to stop unfairly bashing the police (cop stories sell, so this will likely not happen. No one gives a shit about cops doing GOOD things...number one story in the news the other day was that the FOP here in Chicago, felt bad for Van Dyk, so they offered him a job paying $15/hr being a janitor. He has no income, and his wife lost her job due to this crap, and they are dead broke. Lead fucking story. He hasnt been convicted of anything, but lets keep making him out to be a murderer (Hi Gallo!) prior to his trial, and lets all celebrate the glorious career of LaQuan McDonald, who dindu nuffin, was "turning his life around", was a kid fighting his inner demons, cap and gown wearing schoolboy (dropped out of school and had 18 prior arrests and was raging on PCP and tried to stab a cop and slashed his tire, but lets not dwell upon that).
There is no going back. Cops will "do their jobs". Crime will go up. If you try to change anything, BLM will scream racism. They will protest and cause trouble.
Find a way to stop the abuse of Section 8 housing, food stamps, obama phones, etc. You have unemployment and food stamps, but you have $250 Air Jordans, and an Escalade and an Iphone.
Sadly, maybe if you had a Repub mayor, new black police chief like the guy from Milwaukee (Clarke) and people in the dangerous areas willing to "overlook" the occasional police beatdowns of thugs, it would help. But there is very little any law enforcement agency can do now. They will make threats to the cops to get more stops, cops will tell them to fuck off, crime will go up, good cops will retire or move to other areas, and you will get a bunch of fucksticks for cops in the future, since anyone with a brain would avoid this job at all costs. More innocent people being shot, more lawsuits.
I think what is, sadly, the best thing for Chicago, is for the world to see what happens when you become the perfect police department, and do everything by the rules, and watch the city turn to complete shit, to the point where everyone at the top who is a liberal democrat is voted out, due to overwhelming corruption and few results. Let the people get so sick of the violence and corruption, that they actually turn Republican. If Hillary wins, she will bring Rahm with her and put him in some sweet position in her cabinet. We can have a new major elected, but if the city doesnt go to complete shit by then, Preckwinkle will have all of the Black vote, along with naive tax payers votes, and the smart folks will start hiring moving companies. Their taxes are a joke and only getting worse.
When your city has to make announcements, in advance, that they are designating ONE SPECIFIC DAY as a day where they ask people to come together and NOT MURDER ANYONE, for just that one day, you know your city is doomed. **It was Easter. No one died that day, but 3 people were shot within the first 15 minutes of Easter.**
Some NYC cops "protect[ing] and serv[ing]" people from receiving their mail. And now the lead one is protecting his home (but without his gun).

P.S. Ana Kasparian is flippin' *hot*!
Not sure what happened there, but regardless, why is he resisting? Just listen to police and sort it out/sue them later.
Oh Rahm......
http://illin.is/1RCxpsR?utm_content=...mpaign=Chicago
LMFAO... he isn't resisting at all. The guy is confused as to why he is being arrested (you know, cause he did nothing to be arrested), then puts his hands behind his back and they keep saying he is resisting as his hands are behind his back. They are trying to cover their ass by saying that out loud... this is the exact sort of shit that gets me pissed. The guys wife is a police officer BTW. So it's not like he is a cop hater (which you love to call people).
I'm watching on my phone with sound off. It looks like he is resisting and moving g around. I will watch on computer later then.
Also, I have never used the term cop hater in my life, actually.
you guys see this? Imo i think it would be just peachy if the cops broke every bone in every one of these motherfuckers faces. this is just disturbing and disgusting
http://www.aol.com/article/2016/04/0...er-m/21337934/
all four of them should be put to death, no jail no w/e just execute them.
or this fucking animal who was just released from prison a month ago. SHE would be alive if the justice system did what it should have done and just executed this despicable piece of trash
http://www.aol.com/article/2016/04/0...girl/21337856/
well he is right hg. Cop tells you to do something you just fucking do it. Even if you are not doing anything wrong or w/e just do what they tell you to do. They tell you to lie down.. you lie down, they tell you to get out of the car you get out of the fucking car.
I watched some of it. What does the video have anything to do with your post and my post?
I agree that he should not be charged with resisting arrest.
When a guy actively puts his hands behind his back FOR YOU and states repeatedly that he's not resisting and the cop continues to say "stop resisting", the cop is looking for an out so he can kill you.
I agree that following your advice is something people should *rationally* do, but in the heat of the ridiculousless of the moment, meaning what happening just doesn't make sense, people naturally *start* resisting. It is human nature for most everyone who hasn't been thoroughly trained to be robotic obedient sheeple to resist a little bit while trying to reason with the person who is doing something incredulous to you. And cops *know* this. So, they take any sign of such resistance -- especially when they are abusing their power -- to exaggerate the magnitude of that initial resistance in cases like this to justify charging otherwise innocent people. And guess which side has typically gotten fucked in such circumstances before the proliferation of video recordings to capture such abuse of power for the world to see?
And that is why body cams with sound -- and the inability of cops in the field to turn them off -- is essential to level the playing field between the police and citizens. And motivate cops to more often respect the civil rights of citizens.

OK
I watched the video just now on a large screen.
For those unaware, that person is RESISTING. He is not complying with the officers. He isnt staying still. He is not putting his hands behind his back and keeping them there. He is moving around.
What is not helping the situation, is the amount of people in the area saying things like "LAWSUIT", because it will give that guy the impression that he can sue the police. He IS free to attempt to sue them, however, based on that video, he would lose BADLY.
"ITS BEING RECORDED" - This is a phrase that is used on cops multiple times a day now. Thats fine. You can record cops. Just dont do the following (which happens every day in Chicago): Dont turn your light on, on your phone, and stick it an inch from the cops face, while spraying him with spittle, as you yell, "Yo ass on camera" or "16 shots Mutherfuckers". Its legal in IL to record police, but people take that shit way too far.
Now, back to the video, if the cop got in trouble, which I was told he did, he must have not had a good reason for trying to arrest the guy. He SHOULD get in trouble for that. Its bullshit.
the day that all cops have body cameras will, theoretically, remove ALL the excuses (both criminals and cops) and require ALL PARTIES to be accountable for their actions.
I cant wait for this day. I want the police to be police, and I want the public to see the vile assholes they deal with every day. I want a website started that allows FOIA requests for videos, and to have them released to the public, on a pay site.
Yeah but I think we've all seen the videos where the cops get all Nixon on the equipment so the part that is most incriminating is the part that goes missing. That is a top down problem that stems from the mission of what police are actually there to do, which is to protect the interests of the jurisdictional government, not the people that pay their salaries.
nothing will ever be perfect. accept that.
If you are referring to CPD body cameras, I've already addressed that issue, but I DID leave out a very important part, as it pertained to the LaQuan situation.

Millionaires are leaving Chicago more than any other city in the United States on a net basis, according to a new report.
About 3,000 individuals with net assets of $1 million or more, not including their primary residence, moved from the city last year, with many citing rising racial tensions and worries about crime as factors in the decision, according to research firm New World Wealth. That represented about 2 percent of the city's high net worth individuals.
Cities in the United States that saw a net inflow of millionaires included Seattle and San Francisco.
Chicago was among four cities worldwide with the biggest flight of millionaires.
Like I said, the rich are going to GTFO and the middle class will be left with carrying more of a burden in terms of the taxes.

They are trying to now pass a bill to tax IL residents another $.30/gallon.
Unreal....
Gasoline taxes hit the middle class more than the poor.
http://thinkprogress.org/climate/200...ax-regressive/
Quote:
• The poor are more likely not to buy any gasoline (i.e. not own a car at all)
• Poor families own fewer cars (and much fewer of the fuel-inefficient SUVs and minivans), and
• They walk and use mass transit more.
Maybe the best description of the situation is from a December 2003 study for the state of California:
“A gas tax would be regressive only across upper-income groups, in this case only in the top half of the income distribution.”
The info in this passage should outrage average private sector-employed Illinois residents.
These numbers are fucking outrageous! If I were an Illinois resident, I would start a campaign for voters who are pissed about these ridiculous wages to honk their vehicle horns like crazy anytime the my drive by an active public project site. And start a GoFundMe page to put up billboard messages displaying these numbers, and inviting people to participate in the vehicle horn-honking protest!Quote:
But before looking to whack Illinoisans with tax and fee hikes, policymakers would be wise to look at the cost drivers behind public construction projects in Illinois.
The Land of Lincoln is home to the highest workers’ compensation costs in the Midwest. Take concrete construction, for example, an essential part of work on roads and bridges. The average workers’ compensation insurance premium is nearly 22 percent of payroll for this industry in Illinois. In neighboring Indiana, workers’ compensation costs total a little over 4 percent of payroll.
In other words, for every $1 billion spent on labor for concrete construction, Illinois spends an extra $173 million in workers’ compensation costs alone, compared with Indiana. This is a prime example of how wrong Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan is when he characterizes workers’ compensation reform as “nonbudgetary,” and thus not worthy of serious discussion.
Prevailing-wage requirements, which are hourly minimum wages placed on government contracts for public work, are another cost driver. If the government funds any part of a project, contractors are required to pay wages set by the Illinois Department of Labor. These workers are paid more than their private-sector counterparts, who are often the very people footing the bill.
In DuPage County, for example, taxpayers are required to pay the equivalent of a $128,000 salary plus benefits for a typical laborer on a public project. DuPage County governments must pay carpenters the equivalent of a $146,000 annual salary plus benefits.
Jesus, was Chicago a fucking mess today.
shootings everywhere, several homicides, a dude jumped in front of a train today, and the guy ended up decapitated and in pieces. They used two body bags on him. People in the train were puking. It screwed up all the rush hour trains inbound/outbound from the city to Ohare tonight, for two hours.
then, this article comes out for the 6 homicide killing from a month ago. The shit they did to this poor family is totally fucked up.

the BLM, "cop hating" (I now like that phrase, thanks guys) head of the Chicago Teachers Union just got re-nominated (no one would run against her, so they didnt even bother with the vote and just said, its yours). Her rally last week had some teacher at the end, get up at the podium, downtown chicago during their rally, and yell FUCK THE POLICE several times for the entire crowd. How this bitch still has a job is beyond me.

huge scandal in the CPD with people finally starting to investigate all the cheating that has been going on for 30 years regarding the tests you have to take to get the high-up-the-food-chain positions. turns out that the new guy Rahm just appointed as top cop, happens to be dating someone that was likely cheating.
