Again with the Drinking
- An off-duty Chicago Police officer has been charged with DUI after a woman was struck by his vehicle and critically injured on the Northwest Side, according to Police News Affairs.
Police say the 21-year-old woman was waiting to cross the street in the 7500 block of West Belmont when she was struck by a vehicle driven by the off-duty officer around 1:20 a.m. Saturday. She was taken in critical condition to Loyola Medical Center.
Hopefully, she recovers. Stop driving drunk. You will face the full weight of the law because you are the police. You will spend untold tens-of-thousands in legal fees. You will serve time in prison if someone dies - the last few are serving at least 10 years. You will be fired if you are not clouted up the ass. End of lecture.

I hope the women makes a full recovery. The Officer needs to enroll in AA and say good by to a job he had for two years.
Indeed SCC!
The public really does feel like
"Those Cops get away with too much already."
Even off duty, your still a cop. Your not answering radio calls or technically on the clock but if you fuck up in any way, it will make news because your a cop. And these days they're gonna make an example of you. Your gambling with your life and future. The department already gets embarrassed enough from the top so no need to add to that too. Know your limits
Shitty day and looking to get good and drunk? Go to the bars if that's your thing but know when it's time and finish the job at home
Listen well what SCC stated !!! You will also lose your health , both phyical and mental after an incident of DUI and hitting someone. You might as well live in the forests of the land. No clout will save your ass. Seen many a copper lose it all and some ate their gun. Walk home, cab it, or sleep in a gangway. Getting in your car after stopping will be the end of the line guys.
If you got the curse, get help from EAP ! Do it for all of us that survived getting a hit for DUI. Ols days are gone, you will go to jail.
Bless all you good men and women of the CPD. You will make it to the end for the retirement if you listen to good advise.
Anyone start a Benefit yet for this "officer in need"????
Here what the ticket should read:
10-1 Benefit for Officer Dumb-F*ck
All you can eat & drink at Bourbon Street Bar
Come join the fun to help this officer!!
August 21, 2015
$50
So sick of Benefits for idiot coppers who step on their D*cks, make all of look bad, and end up costing the city $.
Too bad.
Never tell anyone anymore that you're the police. Today it's better to just say you work for the city and leave it at that.
I tried to post about a retired PO (actually POS in this case) in the UBER thread and my posts wasn't OK'd by SCC. This POS, who thinks driving drunk is a perk and is known as the "Mayor of Clark St.", bounced off his bar stool from Sluggers and started putting his nose where it doesn't belong in the UBER accident with a squad on Friday night. Who is he? He's the same POS retiree who bounced two Lane Tech students off the sidewalk with his BMW one afternoon. Here's more on the 'Mayor', a degenerate gambler with his hand in the pockets of the trust fund kids running Sluggers these days:

Two Chicago high school students were injured Wednesday as they left school for lunch.
The 15- and 16-year-old girls were hit by a car after they left the Lane Tech campus and crossed the street at Addison and Western.
Witnesses say the car hit the girls, then crashed into Hero's sandwich shop. The building may have prevented the car from hitting more students walking to nearby restaurants for lunch.
One girl suffered a broken ankle and the other minor injuries. Both have been released from the hospital.
Police say the driver, 61-year-old George Corso, told them he blacked out just before the accident. Police cited him for negligent driving.
Corso was also treated and released from a nearby hospital.
When will people learn? Too many other options today so you don't have to drink and drive. If you know you're going to have drinks, take a cab or better yet, use uber, which is easier then calling a cab.
Use UBER to get home.
Words of advice, "take an Uber!" It's dirt cheap and will pick u up anywhere.
100% correct, SCC.
I've been around a long time and have seen this department's culture turned upside down. I can honestly say that the one good thing that has changed is the attitude towards drinking. You younger guys aren't up to your eyeballs in booze like most of us were. You are avoiding untold headaches at home and on the job by not drinking, or drinking minimally. Good job.
Please don't drink and drive. You have no idea what those left behind from a drunk driving accident with a death deal with and it doesn't go away. I have a bumper sticker on my car and it says, "Someone I loved was killed by a drunk driver." Don't drink and drive.

I think this guy is clouted up the ass...2 years on and assigned to 189 but otherwise on days in 025? What's wrong with that picture? Short suspension.
I do DUI's,I can help you unless you hurt someone,once you cross line with civilian witnesses things change.The heat is on,the media ,the public,they want us to fuck up,be smart about it.You will be at callback for 3 yrs,when your stripped,the city and the dept. Is in no hurry to deal with you,be smart.
They said he was 40 years old and two years on the job. He has clout. Nobody gets on at 38 without help.
Very bad situation. Prayers go out to the young lady. On a different note: There is a po in 017 who is taking pictures of coppers and turning them in. Watch your back.
I hope the girl recovers. My prayers go out to her and her family.
The hard heads among us don't want
to listen SCC.
We'll add:
Stay the fuck out of so called "Cop Bars"
and others such.
You know damn well every time the media truly
gets a hair across their collective ass, they run
an "Exclusive" or "Investigative Report" on how
they stake-out known cop spots to "show" the
public just what those wild-assed, out-of-control
cops are "getting away with."
The problem is lack of RETALIATION by The Police.
With Mutually Assured Destruction comes "Detente"
and an understanding that such TARGETED FUCKERY under the
guise of "the public has the right to know" (Conveniently timed
for Sweeps Week of course) will result in newsies and media types
having THEIR fuck-ups put out for public tantalization & titillation.
Funny...
Newsies get to hide behind expectation of privacy when the contents
of THEIR panty drawer are publicly laid-out sunny-side-up.
Notice how they whine when they're in a very public pinch and YES,
they DO cover up for each other up to and including criminal conduct.
Who can be assured of any damned thing when the so called
"Guardians of The Public Trust" are so hopelessly compromised
and corrupt themselves?
"Fair and Balanced" has been forcibly bent at the waist and
rump-jumped into oblivion in this town and newsies have their
pert little noses out of joint because you brutish, out-of-control,
heavy-fisted, gun-loving, some-kind-of-phobe Cops give them
the collective shit-eye.
But things ARE taking an amusing turn as Policemen are
very actively reducing their "foot print" in response to the
politically motivated media war against The Police.
"No fair! You guys can't get away with protecting yourselves
against US! You're public servants fer chrissake!"
Make yourselves hard and difficult to hit targets, Officers.
I sympathize with the victim and what her family is going through. I know the officer , and he's a decent kid and he will have to deal with the consequences.
If you are drunk, call Uber. Years ago coppers would give each other a ride.
hey ssc I work in 016 and im a proactive police who always goes out of the to help and protect the police N,firemen and their wives kids ect, please stop driving drunk , 1 beer no problems, more there are problem I have enough problems with keeping on eye on dude and loOking his ass I don't need this
A BROTHER IN BLUE
unless u work 4 cannel 2 and r an investigative reporter then u can drive drunk punch the person u hit with ur car and nothing will happen 2 u
Now that I quit drinking, I have never understood the logic in asking some that's been drinking if they are OK to drive. Judging your impairment while impaired never made much sense to me.
Call the desk and a fellow officer will give you a ride home.
To civilian readers...yes, it does happen. Too fucking bad, deal with it.
No, we will not extend the same courtesy to you (the public), just as I would not expect you to leave your job to give a drunk copper a ride home.
Yeah, call UBER, a RAHM backed business, help him and his friends get rich and take money away from professional cabbies, who usually don't rape and rob there customers, like UBER employees do. How about calling a friend, a relative or then a cab?? It's like UBER all of sudden is the savior for anybody who needs a ride these days, just a new kid on the block trying to make themselves look hip.

I'll drink to that.
I real don't think there's a police agency anywhere that wouldn't help out any fellow LEO.
Guys, call the local PD in any town for an assist, if you're tanked, broke, sick or the car won't start. We all answered those bellyache-14th floor-no thank you bs calls, but we always have time to take care of our own.
Best wishes for the injured woman. I'm not going to cast judgement on the officer but for the Grace of God go I. Yes, days of driving home with one eye open are long gone and rightfully so. Hope it works out for everyone.
I have no pity!!!

My sympathy to you, sir.
Police say the 21-year-old woman was waiting to cross the street in the 7500 block of West Belmont..
hey is that in the "Humboldt park neighborhood? seeing how the media and other shit people always refer to anything west of kedzie "west humboldt park" Just saying...... or maybe that could be called west wrigleyville.........
( sarcasm, SCC sarcasm.... )
Prayers for the female victim and I hope the guy gets the help he needs. Great advice SCC and to the gentleman who said do it for the guys whom have made this horrible mistake and suffered the consequences.
I've been through it myself and absolutely regretted putting those POs in the trick bag plus all the embarrassment it caused my family.
I let my life spin out of control and there was no one to blame but myself. However I took ownership of my problem and got the help I needed on my own, told the truth the whole way. There by the grace of God go I.
I was fortunate to save my carreer and turn my life around. Be safe out there brothers. We need eachother more than you know.
They said he was 40 years old and two years on the job. He has clout. Nobody gets on at 38 without help
Exactly what I thought. I thought they passed a law that you can't be older than 35 to get on the job.
What's wrong with that picture? Short suspension.
He'll probably get 30 days. That's the standard for DUIs.
The problem is I think its an automatic 12 month drivers license suspension which means he'll have to exhaust his time due and other days he might have but then he goes on no pay status until his license is reinstated. If its a judge who doesn't like cops(we all know most of them don't) then he/she won't let the guy get a work/school driving restriction. Its a big shit sandwich and he'll be taking a bite but hopefully he learns the lesson. Hope the girl gets better. This is no time to fuck up if you're a cop.

You can be 40 and get hired. You have to be able to work at least 20 years to receive a pension.

You're an idiot. Yeah because Rahm or politicians don't have their fingers in any industry. Cab drivers have never raped or molested anyone? Better check your facts. Still better to use uber than kill or injure someone you dumb aashole.
I know him and his family. This will be hard on his wife and kids. He did it to himself. Shame on him.
Retirement parties, promotion parties and benefit parties, 200 coppers show up...how many leave shit faced? Be extra careful when leaving these events. You spent $50 for the ticket spend another $50 for a cab ride. ♠️

Glad to hear that things have worked out for you. We all make mistakes, you're only a fool if you don't learn from it. Good Luck!

Nope.
40 to getting hired by CPD.
35 to get hired by CFD / "The Golden Lottery Ticket Job".

Humboldt Park goes to at least Pulaski on many unofficial Chicago Neighborhood maps that you can Google. Also SOUTH of Division Street.
Neighborhood boundaries have NOTHING to do with Police District boundaries.
I dont go to retirement parties, golf outings, dont "stop" anymore, dont really drink anymore. And if I do its at home. Its a quiet life but a good one.
06:27. What did you do before UBER came out? Were you one of the idiot coppers who drank himself silly at a party and took his chances on killing a civilian? Thinking you know better cause your a badass cop? Your a moron. " duh, I had no idea how to get home from a drunken night out with my cop buddies, thank God UBER came out, now I have a friend to call!!??" Your a sheep who doesn't have a clue. Asshole.
Not sure why this is only a misdemeanor. If there was great bodily injury, it should be a felony
Have to stop with the '" it won't happen to me" attitude
All of the Monday morning quarterbacks...like you haven't been in his shoes driving home except nothing happened at least one time in your lifetime. No one is immune to consequences he will have to face them.
Sad and scary.
When you drink and drive in the State of Illinois, the Illinois State Police (ISP) will aggressively seek you out and take you into custody, whoever you are.
Just keep a bottle at home.
