WBBM-AM 780 radio is reporting that Tim with E. Search said this morning that he is fed up with the politics and “one-upsmanship” in the DP case and may not return because of it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm... Maybe the "powers that be" are looking to run him off!?

The mayor is the chief's boss, the citizens elect the mayor so he is supposed to answer to the citizens.

I think the mayor doesn't want the incestigation to move forward for fear of what other scandalous info might become known about people other than Drew.

Mr. Mayor is afraid of something...and so is covering his butt, IMO.

Susan

I think you may be right. Why else wouldn't he want to complete the internal investigation -- imo, if DP has done something that is against policy then he should answer for it. Allowing his resignation and dropping any investigation is BS. I would like to know what the basis for the internal investigation is. At this point, it could be anything.

What, the lawyers he has now don't want him? :boohoo: He said he had stopped talking to police after he got lawyers who told him not to cooperate.

I guess there are some things even some defense lawyers just won't do!

Susan

:waitasec: Okay, maybe it's not as funny as I thought. Drew was asking for a lawyer on TV today.
Did anyone get the joke...
Drew asked the press "What do you get when you cross a the media with a pig?"..."Nothing...there are some things a pig just won't do."

I thought his joke was just gross, but it makes more sense when it's applied to a like him.

I thought his joke was in bad taste, but then there seem to be a lot of things being revealed about him that are in bad taste. He reminds me SO much of Craig Stebic and his interaction with the media.

Wonder what would happen if his smiling face was splashed across the news along with the caption: " What is the mayor trying to hide?"

Maybe Drew should lend his patriotic- bandito- stoner get-up to the mayor.

He's been Mayor for TWENTY YEARS????? "Something" is sure keeping him in office for that long :waitasec:

I don't understand how or why the Mayor would overrule the Chief.

As to the "how", that's simply a part of the organizational structure of any USA town: the mayor outranks the police chief.

Now the why is something that needs to be further looked at.

I know in the NYPD that simply bringing onus upon the Department (e.g. doing something negative but not necessarily illegal that brings down the media spotlight) is a cause for dismissal (and when you get dismissed, you lose your pension).

If this happened in the NYPD, there is no way Peterson would have been given his pension during a national uproar over his missing wife. He would have been put on modified assignment, still given a weekly paycheck and just hang out until the investigation results came in.

Sure makes you wonder why the average homeowner in Bolingbrook is paying 700.00 a month in taxes. Yes a month.

Too bad it wasn't in NYPD. I don't think he should have been reinstated by the BPD after he was dismissed from another LE agency, IMHO. The police are suppose to protect us, not harm or kill people and then cover it up.
The mayor accepting his resignation over the objection of the chief has my hinky meter going into alarm mode. Any thoughts on why that would be? TIA for your response.

I thought this was an interesting typo. Freudian slip, anyone?
