New Commander: More of the Same

24th District Commander Rottner was replaced by Steven Caluris. He now calls the shots in the Chicago Police District 24. Tonight, you can meet the new boss. Tonight, you can discover for yourselves that he is the same as the old boss. Police officers still disrespect Rogers Park residents by not giving them needed information. Caluris, probably a nice guy, is still more loyal to his overlords than he is to the People. Ask Commander Caluris tonight why neighbors were forced - forced - to stand outside their homes for two hours or more, even after the watch commander KNEW that a "bomb" was NOT a bomb, but simply a harmless bong. Ask Commander Caluris tonight why narcotics deals on the streets are simply "dispersed," and the bad guys not rounded up and arrested. Ask Commander Caluris tonight why two or three outdoor roll calls are so damned important, when all those officers could be be out dealing with problems in the hood. Ask Commander Caluris tonight why he and his fellow police officers do not honor their oaths to uphold and defend the United States Constitution, by allowing Mayor Daley and the City Council to make their own immigration laws. Tonight, the New Boss will give us all the same old spin, the same old dodge and misdirection that you got with a smile from the Old Boss. "Meet the New Commander Tonight" say the fliers in Rogers Park. 49th Ward Alderman Joe Moore's web site reminds us, too: Don't Forget Tonight's Meeting With Police Commander Caluris Dear Neighbor, I am writing to remind you of the Town Hall Meeting with our new 24th District Police Commander, Steven Caluris.
