NFL Go To Hell!

I have watched my last NFL game. Not only will I stay away from their games and won’t watch those candy-asses on TV!

I have been avoiding stadiums and events that frisk people preferring to skip the indignity and humiliation of being searched like a criminal just to attend a game.

Today because of the NFL’s un-American frisking policy I will be skipping any viewing in any form of this pussy outfit. I will also skip buying any products sponsoring the NFL.

I will gladly take my chances with foreign terrorists over accepting my own country being ruled by the kind of iron fist we have fought so many wars to stop cold.

I ask that every red-blooded American let the NFL pansies dance to their own music as they fondle and frisk each other. They won’t be doing that to me.

Weis Cowardice Makes the New York Times!

Chicago, IL--At least here the Daley/Burke Crime Family controlled Chicago media has obviously put a blackout on this story. The New York Times has not swept it under the national rug however as they covered this and other problems facing Chicagoans bracing for a very violent summer.

Chicago cops loath their police superintendent and city administration more than ever. It is not a good time to live or work in Chicago. Avoiding all city events such as the Taste of Chicsgo is advisable in this climate.

The NY Times left out some important and highly relevant facts that can be counted on to contribute to violence such as wholesale prisoner releases and the skyrocketing unemployment rate. Of course self-defense has been outlawed in Chicago for three decades of a gun ban so only criminals are armed.

It was Good Friday when Chicago police superintendent Jody Weis fled on camera from an in progress fatal shooting. The killer of Reggie Myers escaped because not enough police made it to the scene quickly enough. The shots could be heard on tape and Weis' now legendary sound bite, “Gotta run!” was made. That, as Weis fled from a CBS2 reporter and any personal danger.

You can read the New York Times article here.

Here is the “Gotta run!” video:

Where Is The Explanation By Jody Weis?

Chicago, IL—Ten days ago Chicago police superintendent Jody Weis fled the scene of an in progress shooting. He and his police driver failed to check the on the safety of subordinate officers or innocent bystanders. The armed killer escaped because there were not enough police officers to seal off the area.

Weiss was caught on tape during a television interview with CBS2 reporter Kristyn Hartman as shots were ringing out. Weis gave his famous, “I gotta run!” sound bite. Run he did and at this point he should simply keep on running while not looking back.

Since that disgraceful demonstration of cowardice, Weis has been in hiding. Weis knows he was despised by the rank and file officers before that fateful Friday and now he’s been branded a coward too.

Weis now knows there is no PR magic that can save him. Weis should face reality and be a man long enough to apologize to the officers who risked their lives at that deadly scene for abandoning them. Then Weis should then submit his resignation.

The department is badly shattered and must be rebuilt. That can’t happen with all the promotions based on connections, clout and racial formula shenanigans rather than fitness for the positions.

For the rank and file cops, a fair contract, necessary manpower adjustments and proper equipment can’t be avoided any longer. The department is in an absolute crisis. The coming warm weather along with tens of thousands of idle, angry young men and freed prison convicts competing for control of the streets may bring a holocaust.

The Amy Jacobson Radio Show Investigates allegations of Cowardice

WIND-AM 560--Thursday 8:30 AM

Chicago, IL—The story of Chicago police superintendent Jody Weis public relations nightmare has gone viral. His now famous “gotta go” video is making the rounds to law enforcement officers all over the country.

Amy Jacobson will have retired police sergeant John Northen and the mystery detective behind the Shaved “L.C.” Blog site as guests. I’ve been asked to call it too. It should be an interesting drive time radio show.

Instead of dealing with the official complaint made by John Northen, Weis has apparently gone into hiding. He’s sent his PR flaks out to smear Northern for once suing the department over the selection process for lieutenants. One called the complaint absurd.

We have yet to hear from Weis himself. Weis has yet to surface and tell us about what was so pressing that he could not assist fellow officers and endangered members of the public at the scene of an in-progress fatal shooting.

Weis can never recover from this cowardice allegation without a really convincing excuse. He’s had over five days to dream something up and seems stumped. There is little choice but for him to do what he promised and that was leave is he fails to maintain the support of rank and file officers. That time has come and gone, so perhaps Weis will simply say goodbye. Weis is just too radio-active and toxic to continue as the superintendent of Chicago police.

We will be all ears!

Update: Weis abruptly cancelled the meeting he had planned for today at the Budlong Woods Library on North Lincoln Avenue. This is yet another solid sign of the end of his reign. Who will Daley appoint now?

In case you missed the stunning video…



Here is the radio show:

Where Chicago’s J-Fed Went Wrong

Chicago, IL—Jody Weis was never cut out to be the Chicago Police Superintendent; he was never properly trained or equipped for the job. At least the job he thought he was filling.

Weis was a civilian and should have never tried to be a cop. For Weis putting on the gun, star and uniform was something of an impersonation. He’d never done that before and that was no small part of his downfall.

Weis was with the FBI. The FBI does have police powers but they are never first responders to the mayhem of large violent cities. The FBI investigates federal crimes and they search for certain federal fugitives. The FBI mission has little to do with police work and making the transition from what they do to what big city street cops do is huge.

Weiss somehow thought he could simply put on the uniform and parade around like a real policeman. Unlike FBI agents, Chicago cops learn to experience fear early in their careers. Imagine being a young White cop handling routine ghetto calls on the midnights.

The radio assigns you to handle a simple traffic accident and as you try to arrive quietly there is a dispute between the drivers and the inhabitants of the nearby buildings empty out in the street surrounding you. You are the only White face in the sea of hundreds and none of them are fond of the police.

You have no choice but to never let the crowd smell your fear, while putting on your best game face. You write your report, cite the driver at fault and go on to the next job. Either you can cut it or not. Only special people can learn to deal with that kind of work environment.

Weis should have taken the job as a civilian and stayed out of the neighborhoods except to attend funerals or parades. Sticking to administrative duties may have allowed him to survive. A dignified business suit instead of the super-hero, top-cop garb would have saved him from a lot of pain.

The last civilian superintendent was the late, O.W. Wilson. Wilson was an educator and criminologist who served for a while as an Alameda County Deputy Sheriff early in life. Wilson was one of the better superintendents.

Under Wilson nobody was hired or promoted without demonstrating their ability and skill through a civil Service test. Either you demonstrated that you were properly educated and capable or you did not get the job.

Wilson never came off as a pretender, but he did bring reform, better training and equipment to the rank and file. In three short years the police pay was more than doubled. He redesigned and greatly improved the police communications system. He brought police professionalism and before he left he separated the real police from similarly dressed security guards with the trademark checkerboard field cap.

Through the dictates of minority leaders, politicians and fools all hiring and promotions are now purely subjective choices. Uniquely unqualified imbeciles and jerks were appointed, put in charge and the Civil Service system was retired. This was the recipe for disaster.

I got a question from a long time reporter friend asking me what Phil Cline would have done had he been out at a similar press conference as Weis was Friday. That was a great question. Phil Cline was hardly a great police administrator but first and foremost he was a real cop. As fat, as Cline was he’d have waddled over to the scene with gun in hand and never left until his fellow officers and the bystanders were safe.

Jody Weis ran because he thought nobody would notice. Weis was dead wrong. Weis was caught and publically disgraced. Weis ill never recover from the permanent coward’s stain and should leave while he can still enjoy his pension checks before things get worse.

Chicago’s law enforcement will be ineffective and dangerous until there is a police superintendent given the real power to reform the department. A fair Civil Service system must be restored and along with adequate manpower and equipment must be provided.

Police need to be taken off of tax collection duty and placed in their rightful position as guardians protecting and serving the law-abiding.

Reasonable self-defense rights need to be restored to law-abiding Chicagoans and the unintended protection of thugs, rapists and killers must end. That means the rights of the law-abiding to keep and yes, carry guns must be returned.

These things will never happen under the corrupt Daley/Burke crime Families and Chicago’s current Aldermen.

Internet Brings Sunshine To Chicago’s Dark Side

Chicago, IL—Yes, Chicago’s local media has been in the pocket of the Daley/Burke Crime Families for a very long time. They’ve killed story after story about corruption whenever they could.

Now there is the Internet with its bloggers and keeping those dirty secrets has become a real challenge.

The allegation of Cowardice by Chicago police superintendent, Jody Weis would have never seen the light of day in the past. It would have circulated as an unsubstantiated rumor throughout the department. The allegation itself would have gotten a City Hall whitewash job and the media would have avoided mentioning it like a viral infection.

Retired Chicago police sergeant, John Northern became aware of the Weis’ conduct and how he left the scene of an in progress homicide and made a formal complaint. This kind of complaint is as serious as any since it did involve a killing and and immediate public safety action.

A complaint of that nature is indeed hard news that deserves proper investigation and coverage by anyone who dare call himself a journalist. I’m now aware less than 24hours earlier officers made calls to the local TV news organizations and were politely blown off by assignment desk people, producers and reporters. They said it was a non-story and some claimed it never happened.

The story was backed up with the broadcast video of the CBS2 interview where Weis, gave his now famous quote, “I’ve gotta run!” I’m personally aware that CBS2 sought clarification from Weis all weekend. Weis refused to surface and explain where and why he had to run. I posted the significant portion that CBS2 interview conducted by Kristyn Hartman and it speaks for itself.

Thankfully, Hartman did not shirk her duty to cover the non-stop bloodbath in the Englewood district. Weis also should have used a little class to suggest that Hartman and her photographer leave the area for their own safety.

That CBS2 interview clip and reports from fellow officers that called for backup at the shooting scene show that Weis never appeared. This is solid evidence of Weis’ abject cowardice.

That changed when the department’s media flack responded the Sun Times. They quickly spoke for Weis calling the allegations absurd. The Sun Times then informed their readers of the complaint and its ramifications. Had it not been for the police bloggers this story of miserable cowardice may have never seen the light of day.

I only hope that the massive extortion and bribery racket that is the City of Chicago government can get its moment in the sun too. The people of Chicago deserve better than to watch their hard earned tax payments used only to generated re-election campaigns through un-needed public works projects instead of vital city services.

Coward Caught On Tape?

Chicago, IL—There was a non-stop Ghetto-Bloodbath On Friday. There were scores of cops, members of the media and shots were ringing out in the immediate neighborhood. Officers were calling for assistance to deal with yet another fatal shooting.

Only seconds away from this in progress shooting was the sworn, armed superintendent of Chicago police, Jody Weis getting some face time with the lovely Kristyn Hartman of CBS 2 News.

When he became aware of the dire emergency his words to Hartman said it all, “I gotta run!” Run he did, but away from the fellow officers and citizens that were in dire need of help?

We are all waiting to find out just where Weis ran…

Chicago Police Superintendent Accused Of Cowardice!

Chicago,IL—According to a report published today by secondcityccop.blogspot.com Chicago police Superintendent Jody P. Weis has been accused by a retired homicide sergeant, John Northen of cowardice and inattention to duty.

Weis was out with police patrolling in the 007 Englewood district where shooting broke out. Instead of Weis, a sworn armed officer responding and aiding his fellow officers he fled the area.

A complaint was formally made and must be investigated. I can’t imagine any Chicago policemen surviving a similar complaint without being suspended for 30 days pending separation for this kind of offense. If the complaint allegations are accurate Weis needs to be removed for such disgraceful disregard for his fellow officers and Chicago’s citizen’s safety.

An Update!

I spoke with John Northen and he agreed to my posting his statement about his complaint against Jody Weis.

Easter Sunday, April 4, 2010
Re: My complaint (C.R. No. 1,035,137) filed with IPRA on Saturday, April 3 charging Jody P. Weis with COWARDICE and inattention to duty.

My name is John Northen. While I am now retired, I proudly served the Chicago Police Department for thirty years. Local media has asked me to give a statement on my complaint alleging COWARDICE and inattention to duty versus the current "leader" of the Chicago Police Department (CPD), Jody P. WEIS. I treasure my privacy. I will NOT appear on any television program.

Police morale is nonexistent. Certainly, local media can't be naive or disingenuous enough to believe that active police officers are going to jeopardize their livelihoods by criticizing the management and operations of the CPD on matters of public concern. Despite the protections of the First Amendment, pretextual retaliation would be inevitable.

Aside from a cluster of sycophants within the upper echelon of the force who are beneficiaries of political CLOUT, Mr. Weis is perceived by subordinates as a shameless and clueless liar--and that was before Good Friday in Englewood. It appears that the media adamantly and inexplicably refuses to challenge this poseur. Even among those in upper management, an understandably silent majority consider Mr. Weis as an abysmal failure as "top cop" in the nation's second largest police department.

In both the armed forces as well as law enforcement, a COWARD is regarded as most despicable. Jody P. Weis is a COWARD.

Before summarizing the cowardice displayed by Mr. Weis on Good Friday, an explanation is in order.

By definition, good street cops must go "where angels fear to tread". When that radio transmission of "a man with a shotgun", "shots fired", "a man shot" , a "robbery-in-progress" or a Ten-1 [police officer(s) calling for help] comes over the air, we roll with flashing lights and siren. A inner sense of fear and the pumping adrenaline makes us most cautious. Notwithstanding, it's what we do.

With videotape documentation, Mr. Weis was having an anti-violence "rally" near 6600 S. Marshfield Ave. last Friday. Afterwards, he agreed to be interviewed by WBBM-TV news reporter Kristyn Hartman. Then, in the background, the listener hears sirens wailing. A "handler" approaches Weis interrupting the interview with Ms. Hartman, Mr. Weis declaring that he's "gotta run".

Less than a minute away, police are responding to a call of a man shot (who subsequently expired) near 7000 S. Paulina St.--a HOMICIDE. So while the lives of citizens and responding officers are at stake, Mr. Weis has "gotta run"--THE OTHER WAY! Jody P. WEIS is a COWARD!

A year ago, after nearly 3,000 police marched in a "no confidence" demonstration around City Hall, Mr. Weis was quoted in local media: "If I...saw that I was the cause of (poor) morale in this department, no one would have to ask me to leave. I would leave on my own." He later even implemented a "morale survey" of the CPD. However, disclosure of the results have been suppressed from the CPD rank and file, the media and the taxpayers.

Deeply entrenched political interference ("CLOUT"), nepotism and cronyism have been perpetuated by Mr. Weis since his arrival in March, 2008. I spoke with Mr. Weis once in a long-distance phone conversation in early December, 2007 in his last days as the Special Agent in Charge (SAC-FBI) in the Philadelphia office. With enthusiasm, I emphasized the urgent and desperate need for reforms within the CPD assuming that an "outsider" could finally make it happen. Later, after he assumed the position of Superintendent, I made further attempts to contact and/or meet with him to offer constructive criticism. I never received a response.

There is no place in the Chicago Police Department for COWARDS who abandon their fellow officers and cut and run from danger. This fact is exponentially unconscionable in the so-called leader of the CPD. He is a disgrace to "Chicago's Finest", some of whom have made the ultimate sacrifice.
