Low Class Wysinger

We're actually thinking of changing Al's name to "Weis-inger" if he manages to get to the top spot.

In the meantime, Al demonstrated just how far he's gone down the kool-aid highway by taking a very public swipe at Gene Williams after McHighStress got called away for an important phone call:
  • McCarthy will be admitted to Jackson park soon, even Chief Treacy knew he was losing it. Funny how just when it was getting even crazier Mcwhackjob got a message on his blackberry and had to leave.
    But good ole Al maintained the madness by telling gene Williams that his head was on the "chopping block" over this time due issue. There is some feud between the two of them but Al needs to be a man and a good boss and handle that shit in private. Degrading a subordinate in front of others never accomplishes anything. I understand that's the way they do it in new york, but this isn't new York you group of morons.
This certainly isn't New York, and acting like a low-class asshole seems to be the new "in" thing at ConStat meetings. But that shit in Chicago just doesn't motivate us at all.

You understand wrong, fella. Take your "New York thing" and shove it up your ass. Don't try to sabotage the brotherhood that exists between the NYPD and the Chicago PD by talking trash.

New York times with another good story about how all the compstat numbers are false. Yeah Rahm and Mcjersey shore can lie all they want people know crime isn't down. I'm guessing the reader will break the story in Chicago because the trib and scum times are in mayors pocket.

Dear Al, I hope one of your minions shows this to you. Williams turned over the reins to you as a baby Cmdr in 015. Remember that Al? Now you want to chop his head off? Shame on you. You have no integrity or ethics. I guess that's the type of bosses they want now. You have really lost your way. I feel sorry for you.

Al wysinger isn't drinking the kool aid, nor is he re-imaging himself. He just an innate idiot. He's always been a company man desiring to be Dana Starks. Whatever
It takes to get to the top he wil do it even if includes throwing countless Blue shirts under the bus. In fact, he has always held uniformed officers in contempt. He's no friend to anyone right now, but the superintendent. And that's only because he is drooling at the chance to get his position.

Williams has the age and the time, it makes no sense to stick around and take that shit at these weekly CompStat follies. Fuck McNutty and Al, there are better things to be doing with whatever time he has left on this earth. If McNutty/Wysinger have all the answers, let THEM get down to the business of stopping the shootings!

SCC, why wait to change the spelling of Al's last name? Clearly the man has an intravenous Kool-Aide bag hanging from his bed at home; just call him out for what he is, a mouthpiece for city hall! Al's pretty much been the 'teflon man' with little to no real leadership skills for much of his so-called career.
It appears that nothing has changed, and he continues to lead the charmed life.

O.T.

About the homicide numbers...
Homicides peaked at around 900 in the 90's. Now were are looking at 400-500. How much of that decrease is attributed to medical advances? How many of the people shot today would have died in the 90's?

10 years of war have done wonders for emergency medicine. Military emergency medicine tech has saved thousands of our military heroes and is now saving hundreds shot in the streets of Chicago.

The real number to look at is how many people were shot in the 90's verses how many people are shot today. My guess is more people are shot today. They're just not dying like they used to.

comparing todays homicide numbers with past numbers is BS. compare people shot. That's a more accurate stat.

But I'm just a dick...what do I know?

How in the world did politics in Chicago take over the police department?

Merit promotions! Don,t need to pass a test or have a degree. Just get your clout to proclaim you a supervisor.

Now you are Sergeant that never had a bad job and never learned how to be the police because you were taken care of.

Well now who took care of you? Not a million dollar question. A Sgt. or Lt. or W/C or D/C or Tact Lt. or Chief, Etc. Take your pick.

What is the common thread here. Not a million dollar question again.

The merit dummies were taken care of by those who were previously proclaimed too stupid to pass a test and are now your Sgts. Lts. and most disturbing your W/C and Chiefs and yes, your 1st Deputy.

So the incompetent have taken over all the exempt spots with few exceptions. This is courtesy of your elected officials, this includes your Mayor.

A Mayor that has proven to be clueless about how to keep a great big city police department running without interference from political hack bosses who are also clueless because they have been given merit spots.

His choice of Mclueless administrator has compounded the problem. Mclueless is a disgrace with the way he twists the comstat numbers to show crime dropping. Well you can't comstat Murder.

Everyone wants their gold braid pension but they don't deserve it.
The police department is crumbling under lack of leadership.

The New York model of policing is a farce.

The citizens on the south and west side of this city are under
siege and your leadership has their head in the sand.

Some may say who cares about those gang bangers. Well wilding is on Michigan Ave. Wilding is on our beaches. Your leadership on the police department has never had a bad job so they don't how to be the police. They couldn't find dope if it was in front of them. They don't know how to fight crime. They have never been the real police. Clueless.

Mclueless will continue to have constat meeting that mean nothing. The incompetent merit exempts will say yes sir and keep their clout spots because they know were their bread is buttered. They will fool
the politicians and citizens and obtain the gold braid pension. Few will deserve it.

So in a nutshell being made a supervisor by proclamation instead of by examination is the root of the leadership problem on the CPD.
Why double, triple, (or more)promote incompetent people! Insane!

Get politics out of the CPD!

This guy actually believes he's in his current position because he's qualified. That, in and of itself, wouldn't be that bad except like most people whose only qualification is to satisfy a quota (i.e. a token hire) he now expects more of the people he's supposed to lead than he ever expected of himself when he was in their shoes. People like him, and those who promote people like him, are so far removed from reality that they don't see, or care, that communicating at a 3rd grade level wouldn't qualify him to run a McDonald's. It discredits the whole organization when someone so obviously underqualified is put in a leadership position, but the really sad thing is none of that matters to McNutty or 9.5 because this guy serves a purpose just by being a token in a position of authority who is willing to spout the company line/propaganda.

Shootings are way lower than what they use to be. It wasn't uncommon for districts such as 002, 003, 007, 011, 012, 014 and a few others to easily have over 200+ shootings a year. Now most of those districts hardly reach 150. 002, 012 and 014 don't even reach 50.

You also have to take into account that in the 80s and 90s our population also was much larger.

Sure medicine has save a lot more lives, but fact remains there is less shootings.

Ok, if I can't use my time due then I would like a check for the entire amount right now. Imagine if the city had to buy out all of our time due immediately. Remember, they didn't even want to pay us for one day of OT when some of us worked 6 consecutive days for NATO.

6/29/2012 06:02:00 AM

I was wondering about this. I know you want the "time due," but if it is denied, can you convert it to OT?, then organize so that all make the demand during the same pay period, like maybe a 1-1/2 months or so before any municipal election, e.g. w/ enuf time for it to make the news. That would hurt and make people take notice.

Al's career has been 'blessed' from early on. Like many bosses on the job, he seems to have had the inside track for years. You can see these guys going up over the years. Some are good bosses, some aren't.

The good bosses learned a few things from other good bosses over the years. They look after the officers that work under them as well as their own responsibilities. They have an appreciation for what they have been given.

The bad bosses believe that they are all that. They are under the mistaken impression that they deserve their rank. They are usually arrogant and clueless. Decide what you want to be Al.

If the berating thing is true, a cr should be taken out. I don't know the exact wording, but its a violation to berate a subordinate officer by a supervisor in the presence of others. Don't want anyone to take time due??? I will gladly call it flu due. I will take the 3 days offand hit the medical and I hope anyone that gets denied time does the same. Yes, its an asshole move, but we need to fight this battle within our contractual rights. Make no mistake about it, Rham brought in an outsider to destroy the morale of this once great department and that's exactly what is happening. I don't think its any coincidence that morale is so low during contract talks. He wants us to be beaten down so he can try to make us feel happy with any small bone he can throw us. FUCK RHAM.

Haha.... If you haven't figured it out, it's the Divide and Conquer approach....

Al and Gene Williams as well as all the other Black bosses are part of NOBLE (National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives). Rahm is no different than Daley... They have and are using every superintendent and their administration to dismantle the once very strong Organizations within the Police Dept.. From Hillard (who was hated by his own people) to Cline who eradicated LAPA and MAPO (pitting Maria Maher and Hiram Grau against all the Hispanics) and then Weis who crushed the Irish... All these organizations are just BS now... Hang out "support groups" to bitch and moan about how no one has juice and no one is getting shit anymore.

The department is so fucked up because historically people helped their friends move up regardless of their capabilities... Now we find our department in a state of emergency with little to no people who know what the fuck they are doing. You can bring in the best Superintendent to the game but if they are given a bench that is short (Bosses with no clue what to do) they are going to lose the game... There is only so much they can do with shitty "playas"...

Anyhow, Gene has been passed up on several occasions... The Hall has not forgotten what he did under the Daley Administration and they have wanted him and a few others out for some time now but they just won't leave...Like Hector Rodriguez (dumped from MLAS then dumped from VICE and now traveling from one end of the city to the other). Bobby Lopez dumped and shifted around like a ping pong ball... Carothers the same...Trahanas...Helm...Need I go on? The Dept. can't fire them but strategically fucks with them (in hopes that they quit) by shifting them around and having them in fucked up jobs or traveling an hour and 15 mins to and from home etc.... All I can say is that if they are that dumb and can't see the writing on the wall then they deserve what their ultimate demise is...I don't see why all these "bosses" don't just leave at once especially at the height of all this crime so that Al and Garry can run around like chickens with no heads.
Bobby you spearheaded that BS AHLE organization that has done absolutely nothing.... Why don't you organize "a movement" for the existing bosses and plan one big mass retirement of all of you and let the deparemt scramble to find replacements all at once with no experience. Now that would really make National News...."Command staff in Chicago walk off job and resign after refusing to work for Bully Superintendent".

I wonder what the bosses real think about politics or if they really give a rats ass about 'the children', there hasn't be too much said about the last Dist Commander promotions has there? How's that working out ?

In Sept. 2008 Det. Div. Chief Al Weisinger addressed the 3rd watch roll call at Area One Det. Division and told the troops that 'help is on the way!' He outlined an approved plan that would see one hundred officers promoted to Detective in mid November of '08, and assigned to the Areas for the 13th period. This would be followed by another class of Detectives approximately seventy five in number, starting the academy in mid January of 2009. Well none of that ever happened. People retired and were never replaced. People died and were never replaced. How's your credibility doing' Al?

Shootings are way lower than what they use to be. It wasn't uncommon for districts such as 002, 003, 007, 011, 012, 014 and a few others to easily have over 200+ shootings a year. Now most of those districts hardly reach 150. 002, 012 and 014 don't even reach 50.

You also have to take into account that in the 80s and 90s our population also was much larger.

Sure medicine has save a lot more lives, but fact remains there is less shootings.

I would like to see the stats on the above posted comment. It sure seems as if more people are being shot today then they were in the 90's. It seemed when a person was shot in the 90's they usually died. Today it seems many more people get shot, but the doctors are keeping more alive.

NYPD here no offense taken. Comstat is a total farce. We have been denied lost time, our time due, for years.

No excusals means no lost time, E-day, and if you go sick you see a department surgeon that day. Only scheduled vacation picks. This is all a page out of our play book. And we have 24,000 or so Police Officers. Stay safe. We are all brothers.

Well Sarge, not only are you an idiot, but your a big part of the problem! You want a solution, well here it is....

Band together as a team and support your troops. Provide officers with as much support and flexibility as needed to balance the extra work needed on the street and time for themselves and their families. Stop with stupid "boxes", "foot posts", "dumb uniform regulations 80/20's, crown caps", etc.. etc..", Open up bidding to districts, have promotional classes even if its only friggin 10!, Have a promotional test or two so someone with almost 10 years on the job has their FIRST opportunity to even take a friggin test. Treat officers with respect, dignity and fairness as that is all anyone really ever asks for and wants. Minus the promotions, none of these things cost a dime and should have been in place all along. This simple solution would make officers actually want to work, work harder than ever and feel obligated to their supervisors to produce for them. A happy workforce = great production. A pissed on work force = you get what you give.......SHIT!

7: 09 am, boo fuckin hoo, for wanting a day off. Dont know if you have a family or the kool-aid enema puncture your colon poisoning your "perspective". Grew up with many a coppers kid, hanging over our home, going on family vacations and events, because their po mom or dad, had to work and couldnt take the day off. Some were resentful of the lack of time together and acted out. The manpower issue has made it so the cycle will repeat itself. It isnt the po's fault that their non-po husbands, wives, and children have summer vacations. When you took the oath it never said you were to give up your family for the summer, because assholes like your past/current mayor, the four star hack from NYC, the three star "crime is good" yahoo cant get it together. Bet your boot lickin ass they will take mini vacations and days off for their families. So if a coppers, writes about their gripes, on SCC, he/she dont need your "do your job, this is what you get paid for" bullshit! Neglect your family now, you will regret it later. You give up your contractual rights now, you will regret it later. The powers that be created this mess, not the police officers. So police officers earned their comp time, to be used by said officer when needed, not when alfonza deems it ok. Your fraternal order of police better jump all over this and quick.

If anyone thinks this is a perception problem, then that person needs to go stand in front of Water Tower on a Saturday night. And if Rahm effing Raccoon does not GIVE YOU OFFICERS A RAISE, then someone please order him a size "child" police uniform and let him go stand outside in 90 degree heat with 78% humidity with the kevlar and then have him tell you guys you don't need a raise. I am SPEECHLESS over the slime and sludge and crap that has crawled into my neighborhood for no reason other than to rob, hurt and ruin others. For the love of God already, what the eff? And those were just the "males". What about the ho "females" dressed in their effing bright pink underwear and black underpants. WHERE ARE THE EFFING PARENTS? I can't live here anymore. God bless all you officers. If I wasn't already in my nightgown, I'd run to Walgreens, wait in line an hour while Shakena and Lamar buy chips with their debit food stamp card, and haul you all bottles of water and soda. I think I'm going to do that tomorrow night so when I start handing them out, you'll know where it's coming from.

Al was putting on a show and pontificating. That's what he does best. He's simply the local guy running interference for the outsiders.

Gene Williams is a decent boss, good copper, and a gentleman - he most certainly did not deserve the couple of swipes Wysinger took at him.

Inappropriate, cheap shots come from little people in big jobs.

I agree. I worked for both of them. Enjoyed working for them. The difference in their career paths is/was that Al was always a Cline favorite. Gene, however, had the misfortune of getting on Cline's bad side when Cline was Commander, Gene a Lt, and Al a Sgt in Narcotics. Seemingly overnight, Al, with Cline's backing, leapfrogged Gene, and has never looked back. But don't feel too sorry for Gene. Because several po's can tell you how he fucked them over. It really is sad what becomes of the once working police as they rise through the ranks. Sad indeed.

Most of us will show our age if you know this song. Needless to say I had everyone in the bar and outdoor patio laughing their ass off and singing along.

The song is none other than the

Well, FUC***D-UP-SGT, who would not cut it as a 7/11 clerk, but still has 3 stripes, you have the aptitude of an eleven-year old. How about treating the blue shirts as men and women? That is correct, with respect, officers who work in busy districts get bounced all over the place—different start times and different partners. Also, we are not so dumb so as not to notice the favoritism in the districts—favorable assignments always go to the same people. And if the officer is adaptable, then the district people are just going to take advantage of him or her. And, yes, we are aware of how this job rewards incompetence. Well, F***CKED-UP-SGT, the game is a lot broader and more complicated than just screaming “do your job!” But enjoy your 3 stripes, on third watch, in 11, because that is all you will ever be.

Stop with stupid "boxes", "foot posts", "dumb uniform regulations 80/20's, crown caps", etc.. etc..", Open up bidding to districts, have promotional classes even if its only friggin 10!, Have a promotional test or two so someone with almost 10 years on the job has their FIRST opportunity to even take a friggin test. Treat officers with respect, dignity and fairness as that is all anyone really ever asks for and wants. Minus the promotions, none of these things cost a dime and should have been in place all along. This simple solution would make officers actually want to work, work harder than ever and feel obligated to their supervisors to produce for them. A happy workforce = great production. A pissed on work force = you get what you give.......SHIT!

Yes, a sergeant definitely can do away with 'the box' and the uniform requirements, and can change the bidding procedures and administer promotional tests. That is definitely within a sergeant's control. (You're not just dreaming; you're hallucinating.)

Nice try about Al Wysinger being the Detective Division Chief, he was never the D unit chief and I don't think that he EVER worked in the D unit. He was the Commander of 015 in 08.

We could probably get additional officers hired if Sgts and Lts. working in the field would stop handling calls for service. Ladies and gentlemen you are SUPERVISORS stop doing our jobs, you are partially to blame. When the calls get stacked up and no one answers them people will start bitching, and that will get results. You did take and pass a test to become a boss dodn't you?

6/30/2012 04:22:00 PM

Not only did I take it and pass more than just the first part, but I read the orders, too.

When there aren't any other cars available to take jobs, sergeants are REQUIRED to take radio assignments.

WTF-- they are both Merit all the way. Gene Williams was one of " Beavers" guys -- take that to the bank. And everyone knows Al is the product of west side revruns.

So if one was an ok person or not has no bearing on the facts-- both merit with clout. One clout is now heavier than the others - thats all folks.
6/30/2012 07:21:00 PM

WRONG!!! Al's rise to stardom is STRICTLY PHIL CLINE...NO REV-RUNS!

The next poster came close to the truth though... "The difference in their career paths is/was that Al was always a Cline favorite. Gene, however, had the misfortune of getting on Cline's bad side when Cline was Commander, Gene a Lt, and Al a Sgt in Narcotics. Seemingly overnight, Al, with Cline's backing, leapfrogged Gene, and has never looked back. But don't feel too sorry for Gene. Because several po's can tell you how he fucked them over."

Truth be told, Cline was circumventing his own Boss (Eddie King)who was Gene's clout. He wanted control of the funds in OCD and King forbid it... When he made Superintendent... the rest is history!!!

You're not alone in this fight, you just need to find someone to reach out to, and maybe a hobby, they help to take your mind off of things. talk to someone, anyone, even if it's just another copper.
If you've made it this far, you can go the distance, but sometimes we all need a little help carrying the weight. It's ok to need help, and regardless of what anyone else says, we've all had somebody there to help whether we thought that we needed them or not...

Off topic but cannot wait till tomorrow a.m. for new posts. Walking home from dinner tonight. Walked from Daily Grill to home at chgo and mich. OMG, HOLY EFFING CRAP! Where do these ghetto animals come from and WHAT THE EFF ARE THEY DOING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. Listen, I'm aware of this problem but I don't ever leave home on weekends. Tonight was an exception. If anyone thinks this is a perception problem, then that person needs to go stand in front of Water Tower on a Saturday night. And if Rahm effing Raccoon does not GIVE YOU OFFICERS A RAISE, then someone please order him a size "child" police uniform and let him go stand outside in 90 degree heat with 78% humidity with the kevlar and then have him tell you guys you don't need a raise. I am SPEECHLESS over the slime and sludge and crap that has crawled into my neighborhood for no reason other than to rob, hurt and ruin others. For the love of God already, what the eff? And those were just the "males". What about the ho "females" dressed in their effing bright pink underwear and black underpants. WHERE ARE THE EFFING PARENTS? I can't live here anymore. God bless all you officers. If I wasn't already in my nightgown, I'd run to Walgreens, wait in line an hour while Shakena and Lamar buy chips with their debit food stamp card, and haul you all bottles of water and soda. I think I'm going to do that tomorrow night so when I start handing them out, you'll know where it's coming from. Jesus H Christ (and I do NOT use that term ever) these animals belong back in their own hoods. If we attacked their hoods, they'd open fire on us. But God forbid we do that to these ghetto rats. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awww...you poor thing!! Welcome to reality...psst, it's happening all over the city and frankly, I'm tired of these bastards myself. It's gives us "working class" people in the "hood" a break. Most of us do work or have retired ya know its just those pockets here & there of fools that are wreaking havoc....but screw the "hood" right? So f-ck it... everyone should get a taste since most say the hell with the people in the "hood".

Hey SARG.....do you ever consider that it might be YOU that is the problem? You were a blue shirt once and I'm sure you gave your supervisor headaches from time to time.

But maybe you are the type that is scared of his own shadow. Come to work everyday wondering if the BOSS is going to yell at you for something a P.O. on your log did the night before? Or maybe 1 or 2 P.O.'s went over your head and asked the XO for time and it was granted?

I believe the First Deputy is a good person. I have never witnessed him treating any blue shirts badly. He has always been respectful and easily approachable so this stuff seemed weird. I got the impression that he has high expectations, that's not a bad thing. Maybe he used the wrong words because he was upset. It's not cool to call anyone names so knock it off with the swear words.

Obviously your a merit hack supervisor or at least a wanna-be. The dumb sgt's post was referring to what is the Sup and 1st deputy supposed to do, as in what other choices do they have (other than screwing with every P.O. on the job, lying and making everyone's lives miserable), not what is a Sgt. supposed to do.

Dear 011 sergeant, are you a merit hack? Because you sure didn't pass an exam not knowing the difference between "your" (possessive) and "you're" (contraction of the words you and are). I don't usually care about grammatical mistakes but when you come up with the douchey crap you just spouted and sound like a 6th grade drop out when typing it makes you look even more of an asshat.

Use your head asshat. Just like we are short coppers we are short Sergeants. So they shouldn't promote anyone because you were too stupid to pass a test? You sir are a dumbass! Fuck Off! The people getting promoted off the list now are the ones that actually passed the test legit. Also the more people promoted off the list the quicker a new test will be offered. I know it probably won't help you because you are too simple to pull your head out of your ass to study, but there are a lot of guys and gals that deserve a shot at a promotional exam.

Oh! So that's what Cline's dislike of Gene was about? OK. I was in Narcotics during that period. And it was no secret that Cline and Gene weren't exactly golfing buddies. All I'll say about King ( God Rest His Soul) is that it was widely known, he wasn't one to be fucked with. No matter who your clout was.

Are you fucking nuts or what? Cell phones are now the reason fewer are dying? Bullshit. Same with the alleged ER "advances" that save so many more than back in the primitive 90's. More bullshit.

Back in 1950 soldiers were being saved who would have died because they were transported to a MASH Unit within the golden hour. the hour after being wounded.

What do you think doctors and nurses did in the 50's, 60's, 70's and so on? Stand there are shake their heads? The principles were the same as now, clear the airway, make sure the patient is breathing and control the bleeding and ensure circulation, plug the leaks.

People somehow have the idea that the 90's and earlier were the dark ages. Not so. /things have improved now but not to the degree that young pups on this blog think. Now if you look back at WWI, Civil War etc, things were pretty rough then.

Remember the show ER? Started in 1994, the doctors weren't witch doctors back then, they had trauma centers etc.

As the detective posted, look at how many people are trying to kill each other with a gun or a knife. That is the true measure but what would a homicide dick know.

I agree that time due restriction is the only choice they have. They are not trying to stick it top us. Some who have a little more time on the job remember the many summers where time was restricted. This isn't a new thing, just more restrictive because we are short.

"The result is the widespread adoption of guidelines drafted by the Brain Trauma Foundation in 1995 for the treatment of severe brain injury. As a result, survival has improved among patients who've suffered a blunt or penetrating brain injury severe enough to have induced coma. In 1980, the overall death rate for such patients was 55 percent, Ghajar says; by 2010, it was just 20 percent."

"A paradox of war is that the death and destruction resulting from combat also produces positive changes in the U.S. health care system and increases its ability to save lives. Medical innovations, including improved methods of treatment and new technologies, have emerged from war and extended into civilian medical use. In addition, war injuries have brought new traumas and conditions to the attention of civilian physicians."
