As Harold Washington said, "That's arrogance gone wild."
Anyone want to see some top of the line hubris? Hop over to that Blog we don't link to run by J-Fled and his policy group lackeys. In the "Ask The Superintendent" section, we find this question:

- I tried using the homan square gym as I have for the past several years. Unfortunately this time I was not able to get a locker to secure my belongings. There are guest lockers that always are taken and only a couple of people are using the gym. I talked to other officers who went to the gym and decided never to return because they could not get a locker. Can you contact the commander of OCD and have him take care of this issue.

And the answer?
- Superintendent's Response
Chief Brown has higher priorties [sic] than checking gym lockers. Here's an idea - go to a private gym. Chicago has quite a few, probably very close to your home. JW
Wow. Really? We recall J-Fled wanting officers to be in shape. Weren't there some POWER tests required to carry a rifle? We even remember Greg Bella asking for some refrigerators and equipment being placed in districts so officers could bring healthy food to work instead of eating out constantly.
Now let's see what else we remember. Private gyms experience rashes of thefts from lockers and such. Off the tops of our heads, we can recall 13 separate incidents of officers losing stars, ID's and guns from private gyms, not to mention cars after their keys were taken. Private gyms can be expensive, especially in a recession, especially when we still haven't seen a raise in 3 years and there's no guarantee Shortshanks isn't going to screw the contract approval process.
Finally, we remember Chief Brown was demoted by J-Fled, suffered a rather humiliating resume flap in Arizona, ended up in a number of court filings of a rather embarrassing nature, was re-promoted despite J-Fled's lack of backing and is currently running an entire division of the department into the ground. So while J-Fled didn't exactly lie about Chief Brown having higher priorities, he was a bit flip about it.
We understand the policy group actually answers the questions in J-Fled's name, but when it's your signature on the answers, it's your responsibility. If you page through the entire archives, there are a whole bunch of smarmy smart-ass replies to legit concerns. J-Fled really ought to have a talk with Ray-Ray, KB and the rest of the group.
Better hurry over there if you want to read it all - we know the Blackberries were going off all night telling people to scrub the more insulting ones.
