Another Koletsos on Board?
The following was taken from the City of Northlake Website, Council minutes: Alderman Patti made a motion to approve an internship with the Police Department to Megan Koletsos; seconded by Alderman Delgado. Alderman Straube called for the roll. Now, I have never met this woman and I have nothing against her. I am assuming this is the daughter of the great and honorable Chief Dennis Koletsos. Lets hope that the apple fell far, far from the tree! Hmmm, better keep a certain Sgt. away from her!!
Questionable justice
Lost in the media hype the last few weeks over some of the more idiotic and nonsensical issues such as the recent birth of Brad and Angie’s twins or the hoopla over the Reverend Jesse Jackson’s suggested castration of Sen. Barack Obama was another news story that didn’t quite get the coverage that the above two matters received. Jimmy Lee Smith, one of the “Onion Field†murderers died while being held at a California detention center on a parole violation. Smith was 76. For those younger cops out there who have never heard of the infamous Onion Field case or may not know all the details, let …Read more […..]
PooPeeDoo!! Party, Party!
So, the other day Emma was starting to take a nap with Mama when she decided to stick her hand into the back of her diaper. She woke up Melissa saying, “Poopie on hand.” Turns out the stinker had gotten some on her hand and wiped it on the wall. She talked about the experience for several day afterward. LoL, too funny!So this past weekend featured several parties, one on Friday and one on Sunday. Both parties were with our “new” family. First off, I have to say that the kindness, acceptance, and open arms that we have received from everyone has been truly unbelievable. I feel blessed to know that we have so many kind relatives.Emma …Read more […..]
Chicago cop in Iowa prison while drunk is on the loose
John Kass August 3, 2008 Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis and Cook County State’s Atty. Dick Devine have asked Iowa Gov. Chet Culver for justice in the case of Chicago cop Mike Mette.”It just seems that it’s a miscarriage of justice,” Weis told me late last week after writing a letter to Culver. “I just want the governor to take a look at the case and maybe he’ll see the same things we saw. I just don’t think justice was served. The punishment doesn’t fit the crime.”If there was a crime.It doesn’t seem that it was a crime. Not in America. Maybe in some other country, but not here. When someone attacks you, you have the right …Read more […..]
Is Press Coverage Fair?
There was an officer involved shooting in my Town. The man who was shot was an illegal immigrant with a rap sheet and a permanent restraining order from the mother of his two children. She was in the car with him at the time of the shooting, has already hired a lawyer (2 days after the shooting,) and is demanding justice because he was a “good” man.I skipped all those facts in this essay because I hoped the media would print it if I did. They refused, arguing that they’re being responsible by not printing anything that could affect the outcome of an investigation or trial. They could be responsible by printing both sides, inflammatory …Read more […..]
Goofy Police Memos
On the right hand side of the home page there is a section called Goofy Police Memos. I found an old briefcase as I was cleaning the garage and found some interesting memos from my days at Northlake PD. I have several other cases somewhere in the house and will check those for more. Submissions are welcome. If you have a goofy memo that you would like to submit you can contact me at candlken@aol.com. All correspondence will remain confidential.
"The Witch" is back again!
Over 3 months have went by since Emma saw the witch at Disney World’s live show at the Disney castle. She stopped mentioning the witch about a month ago, seemingly over the trauma and fear that the experienced had caused. Boy, was I wrong!That experience was just hiding underneath the surface waiting for a chance to raise it’s head again!A few days ago, we were all watching TV and playing as I began to surf the channels. I came across a famous movie that most of us grew up with and enjoy. The Wizard of Oz had just started and I didn’t think twice about checking it out. Emma really got into it. She loved the little dog Toto …Read more […..]
