ABC Media Slant
- A Chicago police officer allegedly turned a $132 speeding ticket into a pick-up opportunity when he later tracked down the female driver and asked her out, saying the least he could do for the money he cost her was to treat her to dinner, according to a lawsuit the woman filed in federal court.
Damn those Chicago cops!
Except it was a Stickney cop as the allegedly out-of-control Romeo. But as we've seen in most of ABC's reporting, as long as the cops look bad, it doesn't seem to matter which ones get the blame (right Chuck Goudie?)
UPDATE: Seems some other people took the reporter to task. She has since amended her posting without saying so to read "A suburban Chicago police officer..."

Speaking of Romeos, what's the status of the 023rd district first watch Tag Team Lotharios???
Things went awfully quiet, awfully quick on that whole shindig. Is their clout keeping wraps on the whole situation?
Come to think of it, there's a handful of other coppers that fucked up, made the news and then fell off the face of the Earth.
Things that make ya go Hhhmmmmm???
The ABC reporter who gave the CPD the black eye is Lauren Sher.
Personally, I fail to see what the poor bastard did wrong except perhaps ask the world's biggest bitch and opportunistic asshole out on a date. Not only did he get turned down, the entire city gets to know that he was turned down. Jeez.
So now it's a chicago police officer living in the suburbs???
Stupid is as Stupid does ! If she had any skills/brains she wouldn't be a member of the Rhamboy Press Corps.
Uh, did they have a cop in 017 years back that would let female drivers go if they showed him their boobs?
How did the cop know she was single? Just wondering .... HMMM ... maybe they had more than a casual chat.
Don't forget Chuck, he helped give us Obama as a Senator
The Chicago Police Department should sue ABC news for slander!
Chicago, Stickney, Tomato, Tomoto.
They can't get the city right yet want to be known as "Journalists"?
this story was all over WGN and the Score as truly reported, a Stickney officer!!! Why the hell do they continue to let Chicago trash reporters lie? This reporter knew it was Stickney and chose to lie to get more outrage.
The media has been doing this since the witch hunt began after the Abatte incident. SunTimes headline a few yrs back read A suburban Chicago police seargant accused of murdering third wife.
Small s on suburban, to lessen it, C in Chicago always has to be capitalized, small p for police since its not CPD, but you still have in the center of the page Chicago police.
Don't talk to the media period.
Piece of garbage trash!!! I stopped watching the news 5 years ago. Damn rats!
Judge should be laughing this one out of court. Why the hell did she file suit instead of, oh, I dunno, CALLING HIS BOSS AND COMPLAINING.
Shit, if a clerk hit on you at Macy's, would you file a federal suit? Hell no, you'd either go to the management office and complain or you'd call their corporate and complain. Why the fuck is this a lawsuit?
Another real EMMY Award winning reporter...
...EMMY, as in enema, as infull of shit.
That's not my hand writting on that note.
Thats my story and im sticking to it.

It's funny how ABC loves to use the CPD as ratings boosters, but they find off duty CPD officers good enough to keep them safe.
She was informed within minutes of the story being published. She waited to change it. Lauren Sher, you are an asshole.
What the hell is a suburban Chicago Police Officer?
How many people in this country know where Stickney is located. This was not a simple mistake by this reporter. Everyone knows where Chicago is so it makes for better news to use Chicago instead of Stickney. ABC sucks.

Another graduate of the prestigious media and communications clown college. Anyone with more than 2 braincells gets their information from blogs, Drudge Report, etc. Broadcast TV is a total fraud run and funded by multinational corporate entities that filter everything they report and push stories and editorials that serve their purpose. Even that so-called correction of "suburban Chicago police officer" is completely incorrect- it should read "a Stickney police officer". That doesn't sound as scandalous of course, so she has to squeeze "Chicago" in there somewhere. The editor should be fired for allowing such a misleading half-truth to be printed/aired.
The ABC reporter who gave the CPD the black eye is Lauren Sher.
Relative of shortshanks' former aide, Susan Sher ?
Ask Sgt AZ from 011 about the time that he locked up someone's boyfriend for domestic battery and then came back with flowers and offered to buy the victim dinner.
Is Lauren Sher a native Chicagoan or is she some East or West Coast transplant?
Why don't these media stations hire local people who know the area?
You can tell the 'Tards when they mis-pronounce words or don't have a clue when someone talks about being down in the Loop.
2150 bye.
Give em' a break SCC. They only go through 4 years of College to read that teleprompter. It's not like they need to know geography or anything.
I saw this last week and asked SCC about it, but I didn't hear back from them. I know you guys are inundated with emails and postings, keep up the good work.
The author of this story writes Chicago Cop but states Stickney Police further down the road. She's a peace of shit reporter and must be from out of town, if she doesn't understand Chicago is Chicago and every other dept is on their own good merit. She must have applied for her job living in another state...

Did you ever think that the copper's cases that made the news were bull shit to begin with. That's why the media doesn't cover them. No news when the cases are exonerated. I hope that you are never in that position.
Ummmm...so is she a NBC suburban reporter?
It plays the best in the media when they say Chicago cop.
Sad. Very sad.
What I'm confused by about the actual incident is, wouldn't the cop have her address when he gave her the ticket? How could she say he illegally looked her info up with the secretary of state?
Come to think of it, there's a handful of other coppers that fucked up, made the news and then fell off the face of the Earth.

Are you speaking of Gerry Callahan, the guy that punched out the old couple in Niles - only one of many run ins? I believe he is still on the job. Why do you ask?
Just looking for a payout. A waste of taxpayers money.
Giving the woman a ticket and then asking to go out on a date seems really stupid. Perhaps if just gave her warning she might have taken him up on a free dinner.
So now it's a chicago police officer living in the suburbs???

ya but he had a fucking wedding dress in some other guy's Chicago basement .... so it's all good

Ha! I don't doubt it. CA-RAZEE goof.
Uh, did they have a cop in 017 years back that would let female drivers go if they showed him their boobs?

Seems fair. All I got for showing them in Louisiana was some plastic beads.
Thank you. I'll be here all week.
Tiny Dancer just hired Muhammed Saeed al-Shaf away from Abu-Dhabi TV. He will be the new minister of information for the Mayors Office.
Why Not ! He did a great job in Iraq !!!!
Are Lauren SHER and Democratic $ucka$$ Susan SHER related?
The reporter's boss/editor is just as dumb as the reporter.
Idiotic Chicago journalism.
Get a CR# and put them in callback.

Don't agree with what the STICKNEY cop did, but what a sue-happy bitch.
And Channel 7 should give their stupid reporter a write-up -as in disciplined (for stupidity if nothing else).
--No Cop Here
If a cop can't issue a ticket in order to find himself a date, what's this world coming to?
Why does your link take me to the freerepublic.com website?
And not the Huffington Post one?
Or the Sun Times one?
Or the Trib one?
Dumb Newspapers, he was a suburban copper, why are we always getting the blame

That would be the rapist Allegretti. He was convicted and he gone now.

Lawyers and bullshit lawsuits screwing up society!!
Don't think for a moment that Rahm isn't behind the reporters' attempts to tarnish the image of the Chicago Police Department before the next contract negotiations.
It's just like the jags from the suburbs who say they're from Chicago when they are out town to sound tough, pussies! Lincoln Park is full of urban junior explorers from the suburbs who saw one too many episodes of Janet Davies on 190 north. Awhile back that hype Hosea Sanders from ABC who didn't pay his dealer and got a pumpkin head referred to Drew Peterson as a Chicago Cop. The media in this city is a bunch of fu#king morons!
With all the "news" stories, (especially on channel seven), that start out about Police doing something wrong, than towards the end of the STORY, they might mention that a lawsuit is being filed. All they are doing is working a case for the ambulance chasing, scumbag, bottom feeding lawyers. I often wonder what their cut is?

Ha. I once saw one of the porchless yuppies with a Chicago flag tattoo on his arm.
Unbelieveable.

Rahm called the reporter? Why don't you just shut your pie hole stupid comments like this makes me lose my respect for my fellow cops. Try a little harder.
Stickney, Chicago, same thing.

Yes, that must be it. Because, of course, no other city in the nation has suburbs, so how could she be aware of their existence?
