Timing is everything

Here's the post we were going to put up first thing after dinner this evening:

• Has anyone else noticed that the minute, and we mean the EXACT MINUTE, that rev. meeks went public with his side of the "racial profiling" allegations, it dropped off of everyone's radar. DROPPED. Like a lead freaking balloon in zero gravity. If it disappeared any faster, it might have created a whirlpool of destruction in the space-time continuum from which even light could not escape. Wow. You think maybe it was an overhyped BS allegation to begin with? Hmmmmm.

That is the problem you run into sometimes while blogging: you hold back a story or two so you have something for the slow days, and you get blindsided when they actually resolve the case you wrote about. Damn it.

Sergeant cleared. End of story. NO PROFILING!!!

UPDATE: If we were this sergeant, we would be suing the shit out of everyone involved. The Chicago Police Department brass and the City administration hung this man out to dry and aided and abetted the media in what can only be called a lynching. He was held up to ridicule, had his judgment questioned, was accused of racial profiling, convicted by BOSSES in the media before a hearing had EVEN BEEN CONDUCTED and basically made a whipping boy for behavior that hasn't been tolerated on this department for a decade or more. We are sure that this "incident" has cost this sergeant quite a bit of emotional stress. We could certainly name the first three defendants on the slander, libel and infliction of emotional distress lawsuits. We hope he can find a judge who will rule that as the defendants were acting outside of the scope of their official capacities, THEY are on the hook for damages and not the taxpayers. At the very least, he might settle for a lieutenant's slot and maybe even a gold star. Remember, they gave one to someone who wore a wire.
