Maybe one of those sleeping cops could replace Sleepy Sessions as AG.

[Karl Spooner]

You won’t believe what these cops got caught doing next!

There’s a hold up in the Bronx, Brooklyn’s broken out in fights, there’s a traffic jam in Harlem that’s backed up to Jackson Heights, There’s a scout troop short a child,
Khrushchev’s due at Idlewild

I love that song ;)

But personally, I’m glad these guys are still alive. What a crummy place to be a cop. The public shooting themselves up because they’re a bunch of thugs and a nice guy working shouldn’t have to go get killed for being a cop, a target of that mob down there.

“Car 54, where are you?”

You’re old.

73 here.

[Mears]

73?

You’re just a kid. :-)

Sleeping cops weren’t white. That’s why.

[Gene Eric]

We know nothing about their shift work. But we know they didn’t commit the violence.

[Nifster]

CPD says that these officers had not worked OT during the week and were not on OT when pic taken. These officers had worked “ minimum” OT since July.

Per the story

[Dagnabitt]

In the USA, blacks kill at a rate seven times that of non-blacks.

Man I must be ancient to remember that show.

PUT AN UNFILTERED LUCY SRIKE ON THE FUSE. YUO CAN BE MILES AWAY WHEN IT GOES OFF!

[jazminerose]

My hometown, yet again. It makes me so furious.

The cops were probably close to dropping dead from exhaustion. No doubt, the department is working them too many hours and the officers are jumping on it for the OT.

But, the highlight of the piece was Rahm lecturing about ‘faith and family’, thereby interjecting some levity into an otherwise grim situation.

Hey - when being paid to do a job they won’t let you do, why bother pretending to be ready to not do it? Probably saving energy for their moonlighting jobs.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Shouldn’t they be using nightsticks and rubber bullets on hippies and yippies and throwing them into paddy wagons? Or is that the old Chicago Police Department?

[IamConservative]

Chicago really needs to look at sentencing guidelines. Commit a crime with a gun, life in prison. Commit a crime with a gun resulting in death and we will kill you back.

Maybe they’re not really sleeping. Just OD’d on opioids...

[Rebelbase]

The cops were praying for peace. The spin of them being asleep is to avoid a 1st amendment lawsuit. :-)

My 8o year old brother tells me the same thing.
