Good luck on your new position.
Missing from the hard hitting article is the fact that the known drug dealer that was in Auntie Yo Yo’s vehicle with her niece and chucked the heroin out of the car window was the same person that tipped the police to the disastrous “naked lady “ house raid resulting in the multi- million dollar settlement against the CPD. Another DEI hire/ promotion in a police department being eroded from within. Who needs defunding when you have these sorts of shenanigans going on?
Uh oh, she may go out like Eddie’s Johnson!
If she were not politically connected she would have been fired 3 or 4 times by now. Almost the entire exempt staff of the CPD has never passed a promotional exam, some never even took an exam. Appointed or anointed because of their race or political connections. It is quite apparent on so many levels that the department is being led by a very unqualified bunch of hacks. If anyone is wondering why the CPD is becoming the laughing stock of police departments that’s the reason.
100% on the mark!
Another flunky
For the real story, go to Second City Cop; it’s a Dozie.
They, and CWB, are the only media outlets in CHI exposing what is really going on in the city. You surely won’t hear anything from the water carriers like Chuck Goudy et al.
