The Better Government Association Speaks Out on Detective ShavedLongcock’s Blog!


Chicago, IL—Let me begin by saying I have put the BGA on the spot here.   I’ve asked them some tough questions about their investigation of Detective ShavedLongcock's Blog and they have at least responded.  I’m far from satisfied that I have gotten my questions answered but frankly I did not expect much. 
BGA spokesman Robert Herguth informed CrimefileNews that their organization had concerns that a public employee may be using taxpayer’s time and resources to publish what they believe to be a racist blog.   
In fairness let me agree here in that this is a legitimate question because personal blogging on government time would be an abuse of public money. 
I specifically questioned who or what motivated their investigation of Detective ShavedLongcock and Herguth declined to provide that information.  Additionally I asked Herguth if he could cite any actual passage or two that suggested that African-Americans were inferior or deserved fewer rights that others.  Again he declined that opportunity.
Most importantly here Mr. Herguth told me he was unaware that the Chicago Police Department had long ago blocked access of the department’s computers to every police related blogger that is critical of the administration including mine.  Saying that, the stated concerns of the BGA should end immediately unless they have some additional agenda 
What I find interesting here is that the BGA is a private organization conducting the investigation rather than the police department.  The department may find stepping on their officer’s First Amendment Rights can be very expensive.  I have to wonder if perhaps the BGA is somehow working as an agent for the city?  
One thing for sure is that this story has already taken on a life of its own because anytime efforts are made to chill the rights of Americans to think, speak or publish it’s everyone’s business. 
Let me make it clear that the BGA can investigate and publish what they please unless and until they commit some actionable offense.  I’d like to think that they are above that sort of thing.
I can’t help but bang my head against the wall here that the BGA is not out asking about the $1,000.000.00 taxpayer grant to felons and thugs connected to a group called Ceasefire.  Instead they are going after some little guy writing controversial crap from his laptop. 
I will stay on that I’m always looking for information and tips about any efforts to silence my fellow bloggers.   My cop friends all like to say they all hate the ACLU, that is until they need them.

I dislike many of the posts that Shaved puts on his blog and his very slanted views. However, he has a right to have his blog and his views. I do visit his site because he on occasion has interesting news. For the record, I dislike his musical breaks also.

His love for Karen Carpenter is a bit disconcerting.

I am a fan of the blog. In fact I read it daily. It’s one of the few places to get the truth. Of course it’s racist. Did he do it on company time? Well, he is constantly updating at all times, so it’s likely.
You may not like it, but seems like a legit question to ask…

Please stay on this, also does anyone know if Obama ever paid the cost of his victory party downtown that he promised he would cover. Last I heard was the city had to foot that multimillion dollar bill.

This really sucks! I loved Shaved. I may not agree with his subtle racism, but he wrote what a lot of us think about certain groups that make up this city.
Bring back Shaved NOW!!!

7:30-- It's not racism if it's true. A high percentage of black america is in serious trouble. It's time to lose the fear of calling it like it is. As far as the BGA they can go take their liberal country destroying agenda and die.

Shaved calling Mexicans smelly beaners and all Blacks as welfare breeders isn't racist according to you I guess.

Well I'll be taking the BGA off my donations list. Their portion will just have to go to the NRA-ILA.

It's okay. I have assembled a non-pilgrim blue ribbon non-partisan panel to investigate DSLC. I will report back to you when all parties have been heard.

Unfortunately, when the the powers that be, want you, they will get you. It's a sad reality of being a
Public employee, we have little too no rights.

If they can do it to Shaved, they can do it to anybody....

1. This to will pass once they figure out that, no one on the Dept can access any of the blogs via the Dept, computers.

2. The blog has more than a few around the clock assistants.

3. You must actually be on the City Payroll, to do something on City time!

Miss ya, DSLC. I hope you're back with us soon.

It's a blog, for pete's sake. Whatever happened to freedom of speech? Were they worried he was growing too big and more and more of the public was agreeing with him?

There's nothing wrong with telling it like it is.

At least come back to Facebook so that your fans can keep in touch?

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
