Chicago police officer

May 29th 2008 10:33
While the life of an American police officer has often been glamourized in the movies, most of us are reluctant to join the boys in blue because we know that we're not the main characters in "Lethal Weapon" or "Bad Boys".

Chicago has a rather high crime rate, being a hub of gangster activity for as long as it has existed in the country, even featuring prominently in Billy Wilder's "Some Like It Hot".

Now's an excellent time to join, though, as the police are basically sitting on their hands.

That's right - apparently, all the major crimes in Chicago have been solved, making it a job suitable for watching the daisies push through the topsoil.


How do I know this? I don't. At least, not in those direct words.

But this report from the Chicago Tribune spells it out indirectly... two adult airlines workers were arrested for having sex in the woods outside of a Chicago suburb.

In order to 'bust the perp', police called in the big guns:

"A helicopter with heat-seeking equipment was called in, and Bradford was discovered hiding behind a shed shortly before midnight."

Wonderful. With all the homicides and robberies solved, that helicopter was just sitting there, unused. Until they got the call about a drunken man trying to play to passion. Fire up the Bat-Signal!

Outrageous. I mean, the idea. Two consenting adults, frolicking in the woods. Cavorting like animals. Fornicating. We must stop this activity at once.

Wait - what about a statement from the vile criminals themselves? I imagine that the journalists did everything they could to dig up more information, right?


"Telephone listings for them could not be located by The Associated Press."

Ah, I see.
