Resignation Offer

From J-Fed?

• Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis said today that while he was disappointed with the police union's picketing on the day that an International Olympics evaluation committee arrived in Chicago, he supported their right to express their views.

  He said he faults himself for not effectively communicating changes to the department's rank-and-file officers.

  "It tells me I haven't done a good enough job getting our information out,'' said Weis. "That tells me I have to work a little bit harder. At the end of the day, the morale of the department is on me.''

Actually J-Fed, you've communicated exactly what you're about. And we aren't buying it. We not ignorant provincial rubes here. This is still Chicago.

• He said he has ordered his command staff to go to every roll call with talking points to help build up the morale of the officers.

Your command staff? Wow. That's going to work wonders. These are the ones ruining the Department as we speak. You've picked Daley clowns, political hacks, four-time "merit" promotees, the best man at your wedding, other FBI bozos with no police experience whatsoever, a "policy group" with a combined street-time measured in months, an Assistant Superintendent who's family was running a dope/gun house, do we have to go on?

• Weis said that if he ever learned that he personally was responsible for lowering the morale in the department, he would be the first to go.

  "If I ...saw that I was the cause of [bad] morale in this department, no one would have to ask me to leave. I would leave on my own.

Do we have to run another poll? Have another vote? Another march?

ChicagoBreakingNews edited the article a bit and removed the item about how J-Fed sees officers responding to 10-1's and thinks that is an indicator of high morale. That just shows how out-of-touch and incompetent this guy is. We don't go to 10-1's based on morale.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
