Chicago is always associated with the Mafia boss Al Capone. But what is the real history of organized crime in the city? When did it begin? What social and economic forces helped it grow? And how did machine politicians, in alliance with gangsters like Al Capone, shape the city? In this episode, we dissect the connections between vice and politics in the city from its origins to the present with two expert guests: retired Chicago Police Officer and Professor of Criminology Robert Lombardo (Loyola University) and author and expert on Jewish gangs in Chicago Professor Joe Kraus (University of Scranton). Topics include the origins of vice in the Levy District, the early connections between politicians and criminal activity, the Black Hand, Jewish gangs, Prohibition, and the evolution of the Italian Mafia from its early days as the Capone Syndicate through the emergence of the Outfit. 5 7 full with Andrew Sola, Robert Lombardo and Joe Kraus no chicago,organized crime,al capone,mafia,outfit,amerikazentrum,andrew sola,joe kraus,robert lombardo Andrew Sola

Season 5 - Episode 122Join the conversation with James F. "Jim" Pastor, a former Chicago Police Officer turned author, as he unpacks the tumultuous atmosphere enveloping police leadership today. Our chat delves into ideologies that shape our society, touching on race, religion, and politics, and their effects on law enforcement. Pastor's book "You Say You Want a Revolution" serves as our backdrop, exposing the intense pressures officers face during societal upheaval and the forewarning of potential perils that lie ahead. It's a dialogue that transcends the pages, shedding light on the readiness required in these unpredictable times.Strap in for this deep discussion of policing's evolution over the past four decades, as we dissect the escalating police-involved incidents and the heart-wrenching rise in officer suicides. Pastor, with his multifaceted expertise, guides us through the socio-political minefields that today's officers must navigate, and we probe the contentious nature of modern-day politics, especially within the heated discussions of college campuses. The conversation extends to the necessity of public safety policing, as Pastor's insights challenge us to consider the alignment of policing practices with the core values of our communities.The chat ends as we tackle the relationship between patriotism and the challenges facing policing against the backdrop of globalism and its critique of nationalistic sentiments. Pastor illuminates the impact of political decisions on the ground, stressing the critical role of police leadership in steering officers through treacherous waters. It's a crucial discussion for those vested in the intersection of law enforcement and the fabric of our national identity, and Pastor doesn't shy away from the tough questions that confront the very essence of public safety.Contact us: copdoc.podcast@gmail.com Website: www.copdocpodcast.comIf you'd like to arrange for facilitated training, or consulting, or talk about steps you might take to improve your leadership and help in your quest for promotion, contact Steve at stephen.morreale@gmail.com

Welcome to this incendiary episode of Light ‘Em Up!Tonight, on this explosive investigative edition we examine the death of Leevon Smith.We're certain that his name won't ring a bell.BANG!  BANG! BANG!  On January 18th, 2023 Smith was shot 3 times at point-blank range on a sidewalk near the 1300 block of West 90th Street in Chicago by off-duty Chicago police officer Precious Dunn.Levon Smith grabbed Precious Dunn. Were his intentions to rob her or assault her?  He shouldn't have grabbed her.  Beyond that we can't speak for him, nor can he – he is dead.You will see on video, suddenly, and without warning, Leevon Smith grabs Dunn around her upper body.  Is he trying to take her gun?  Did he even know she had a gun?  He certainly found out quickly that she was armed.You can audibly hear him call her a b*tch.  The video will show a life and death struggle ensued.BANG!  Dunn shouts, “I'll kill you, watch this”! 2 more shots ring out.  In this episode – we deliver the exclusive raw, agony-filled audio of Leevon Smith after each individual shot – as he lay on the ground bleeding out. We'll provide a link so you can have an eyewitness view of the video of the shooting taken from a nearby surveillance camera.Many people commenting on this case on social media have expressed that “Leevon Smith got what he deserved.” Others feel what the off-duty female cop delivered went beyond self-defense and in a blink of an eye became “street justice” – stepping over the line from being proportional and justifiable force.As a case study we will examine not only the specific fact pattern in this case, but also, we hope to educate you, (our listeners), on crucial facts that you need to know.We'll unpack what exactly are the “3 prongs” of Graham v Conner as they apply to the lawful use of force by law enforcement officers. We endeavor to clarify the narrow and very limited prohibitions imposed on police and the use of force.We challenge you to think critically about the myriad of legal questions that this unique case poses as you listen in:  We want to involve you actively and directly.● Was Precious Dunn acting as a private citizen or in her capacity as a police officer?● Will the fact that she failed to render any aid to her victim expose her to any criminal liability?● Will this shooting be ruled as a justifiable homicide?● Will she or should she be indicted?● Was the use of force necessary, objectively reasonable, proportional and lawful?● Was this an overt act of self-defense protected within the framework of the current law or did the off-duty Chicago Police Officer step over the legal boundaries for what is permitted by law and commit 2nd degree murder, exposing herself to criminal liability?We examine what exactly is the “reasonableness standard” of the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution that influences police behavior today.  This is a must listen for ALL, especially for individuals of color, as the 6th leading cause of death among black men comes at the hands of a law enforcement officer.We advise you ahead of time, you will hear coarse language and you will hear gunshots in the audio clip that are extremely loud; anticipate them and be forewarned.This investigation is currently on-going and it may take as much as 18 months in order to complete.Please send this episode to a friend.  We want to hear from you!  Share your thoughts at prizzo@rpgconsultingltd.comTune in and be empowered and at the same time follow our sponsors Newsly & Feedspot here:
