Texting, two seconds before I took the picture he was reading the book that's in his right hand.
And what's strange is this day he was alone on the corner, the next day there were three officers here. How is this determined?

Flirtin' with the guys!

Lay-offs

We got news in August that there would be massive lay-offs of traffic officers in Chicago. I was hoping that would scare some straight. Did it work? See for yourself.

They're of course fighting it, you'd think they'd be a little more conscientious about their work.
