This is how Detroit eventually ended up with ED-209.

This would be unbelievable just about anywhere else but Chicago. Legally, I'm not sure how this could/would even happen, but, then again, such technicalities have never stood in the way of His Majesty. Hopefully, Daley will end up in Fitzgerald's sights eventually (if he's not already) but, until then, watch out. The man's as crazy and dangerous as they come. So, is this the first step toward privatization of the CPD? It's happened other places - with city fire departments as well. It's never really been a success, either, and municipalities almost always revert back to the way they were. At this point, with the police contract *still* under negotiation, I imagine it's just a threat by Daley to the FOP, but we'll see. A terrible idea for so many reasons (think of the can of worms this would open up...) but just par for the course from the oh-so-honorable Mr. Daley.
