Chicago—I just got off the plane at O’Hare and the very first thing I see is J-Fed’s sour puss with this headline!Okay, now I must defend poor J-Fed. We have to remember J-Fed’s never been a street cop and just does not know the job. That’s not J-Fed’s fault, but the clowns that hired him to be the city’s top cop.
Next J-Fed inherited both a horrible public policy and a mandate that he support the Mayor’s unlawful and un-American gun control policy straight to Hell.
The law-abiding are forcibly disarmed and at the mercy of murderous thugs while an incredibly undermanned and outgunned police department just can’t cope.
Every day the problem gets worse. The only answer is to respect the law-abiding people’s gun rights. Create workable, concealed weapon training and permit program.
J-Fed should simply collect his $300 K per year and pretend the mayor is right.

You can't drive a car without a license; there's no reason not to have a comprehensive training system and license citizens to carry as well. Hell, for all we know they'd be better shots than the 4 NY cops who shot Amadou Diallo. They fired 41 shots at close range and only hit him 19 times.
Enjoy your trip Paul,this should be a huge wakeup to you. Get out there and talk to some of the OTJ coppers about what is really occurring on the CPD,you will be shocked.
Goodluck with the protest!!!

Does anyone have any insight into this move? Orozco was very well liked by the rank and file,is this the second position that JFed held? Is this an appeasement move to Ike Carrothers? Very strange indeed...
Daley appoints new fire chief
Posted by Hal Dardick at 2:15 p.m.
Mayor Richard Daley on Thursday shuffled his cabinet, moving the fire commissioner to an office that oversees emergency communications and promoting the first deputy fire commissioner to the top post.
John W. Brooks, 50, will become the second African American chief of the Fire Department, pending approval by the City Council. The department has a history of tension between black and white firefighters, but Brooks said he hopes no further incidents occur.
Raymond Orozco, 49, the current fire chief, will be transferred to the Office of Emergency Management and Communications if the council approves that appointment.
I know you blogged on this awhile back but a bunch of us went down to Springfield to be present at the parole hearing of Willie Lewis. He murdered Chicago Police officer Patrick Crowley back in 1976.
Because of the strong CPD presence, Lewis's bid for parole was DENIED.
He'll be back up for review in 3 years. Just thought you and your readers would like to know.
