How Drunk?
- Humor can often be the most disarming thing and put people in a position where they're questioning things that they might not have otherwise," said Matt McLoughlin, a lanky man with a thick handlebar mustache and a tiny ponytail, as he and a few acquaintances settled at a table in the center of Ceres Cafe in the Board of Trade building. On the night of Wednesday, October 16, Ceres became ground zero (or perhaps one of several ground zeros) for an evening of drinking and alleged romantic indiscretions by Chicago police superintendent Eddie Johnson. He was fired by Mayor Lori Lightfoot on December 2 for allegedly lying about what he did that night.
After the mayor's announcement McLoughlin didn't hesitate to call on the city to gather at Ceres and mark the occasion by getting "Eddie Johnson drunk." The Facebook event he created started trending immediately; more than 2,300 people ultimately responded they were "interested" and more than 700 said they were going.
We wish we have heard about this earlier - we would have given it some decent play.
But it truly isn't "Eddie Johnson Drunk" unless it ends with.....well, you know.

Johnson is a has been who messed up the department and the city.
A review of the electronic divorce file of Eddie's alleged paramour that fateful night reveals that CD had filed her divorce case pro se and that she also filed a "298" or "paupers" petition to avoid paying the filing fee. The petition was denied. I bet the judge had a big laugh over a PO claiming poverty. By the way, the case has been dismissed for want of prosecution.
Might want to have read the article and checked out the guy who organized the event before posting. He HATES the police.
Another guy there said: Ceres, "What I like about this is it's the union of the finance industry that's destroying the city and the police that are destroying the city in this perfect cocktail of just the worst that's happened to Chicago," Ehrenreich observed. "And that's why I'm here to get drunk. I want a taste!"
Speaking of funny shit how about area south saturation. No heat for almost a month now. They have so many space heaters plugged in they are popping the breakers non stop, apparently a fire started in the breaker box. Nice to know the mayor can spend and wast $220,000 on her perfectly good office, but fuck the cops right what's a little cold weather.
Yeah I know, You have to wave and drive away when stopped. I doubt that will work for a lowly street cop, it used to but that doesn't happen often now that the Police force is manned by fetal t-totalers now.
A nice comment section there in the ChicagoReader
You gotta like this guy.
Unfortunately, the author of this column is a democratic socialist and not in the way people of accuse Groot of being one, but a true abolish the police type. She also just got to Chicago about a year ago. Same with the little Michael fellow in the article spouting off about those evil police. Roasting Eddie is nice, he deserves it. But these little people (still wet behind the ears) are the same ones who use Eddie’s deviant behavior to further their anti-police agenda.
Ceres should make a drink called "the Eddie Johnson special". It's sure to get you fired
I was Eddie J drunk Saturday night at a neighborhood Christmas party. Got into the Irish whisky and am still hearing about it from the wife. At lease I still have my job, though.
But it truly isn't "Eddie Johnson Drunk" unless it ends with.....well, you know.
Rumor of the day is Ceres wanted to come up with a drink named in honor of the Superintendent but all the good ones were taken...
The "former" superintendent is spending a few weeks in Dubai....Take the to the bank....He could careless....

Again, nothing new here when it comes to decrepit and poorly maintained police facilities. I worked in the old HQ on State street and ice would form on those metal windows. It was so cold we had to wear coats when in the office, all day. No one cared and no one sent anyone home . The upper floor had human feces running down the walls from the over flowing toilets in the lockups. Just more examples of how the city administration really feels about the police.
FIRE TRAP!
Write to Donald Trump.
This is a travesty.
t-totalers
Right you are. Be dry and be safe.
“You gotta like this guy.”
No, you don’t. Get your head out of your ass, pal.
Say what you will about Kidney Bean, but I gotsta give him mad props for staving off whisky dick after downing such copious amounts of booze. Not the easiest task for a man his age and physical condition.
The man that organized that night of drinks is anti police take a look at his Facebook profile.

Now that the bottom has fallen out for EJ, he might feel at home at the Cheaters Club, (Oak Lawn Hilton bar) , or similar joints where unfaithful husbands hang out, with the rest of the sleezebag married men, eyeballing up females, while their wives at home think they are at work, but instead are there getting boozed up and looking for a little side action, like the typical old Lounge Lizards of the 1970's. Or perhaps he could become the Chief of Police in some jerkwater town somewhere down south in Banjoland, and chase backwoods Moonshiners. He probably could still pass as legit in some parts of the Country that have not cable TV service and still have corded phones attached to their kitchen walls. Another virtuous CPD Leader bites the dust.
I just submitted my theatre treatment to several off broadway venues and producers including Steppenwolf.
”Being Eddie Johnson”.
It’s a play about going into a popular local watering hole and by slamming large beverages, you fall into a portal that turns you into the life of a drunken big city chief of police for the night.
I contacted the agent of John Malkovich for the leading role and so far had not yet heard back.
Come on say it, we all know, you can’t have an Eddie Johnson drunk day without it ending with a BLOWJOB.
"Eddie Johnson Drunk"?
Not drunk enough to stumble into a Starbucks and buy some coffee there...
"But it truly isn't "Eddie Johnson Drunk" unless it ends with.....well, you know."
A UNIFORM CONTRACT DONE AS A FAVOR
That or what King David sought to get from Bathsheba, either/or. Who can know for sure? ;-D
The bodycam can...

Flash from the past. Worked under Nash in the 6th District when he was a W.C. What a complete madmen.
First roll call with him, he called my name. I said "here sir." He stopped and changed my beat, called my name again and I said, "still here, sir". You could hear a pin drop in the room with everyone expecting him to go nuts. He just rolled with it.
Funny shit lets all next encourage people/folks to go to that drunken traffic stop location to watch the "submarine races!" If you don't know what that is your to young!
Good luck finding Eddie, seems like there's some very angry females trying to track him down. He's continents away where nobody knows who he is. From a GOOD source.
Eddie you really made a spectacle of yourself.
Yeah I know they are already killing the story and the IG isn't going to hurt you or Lori, nobody is going to hold you accountable because its makes Lori look bad and they want you riding into the sunset no muss no fuss. Everything else was smoke and mirrors including the new white guys they put in for a few months to give the illusion of reform.
But still...you really made a spectacle of yourself. You and your hen house.
And they will take care of your dollies just to keep them quiet, find them inside spots and put them to the front of the line when merit promotions start again. Your kid will continue to be sponsored cause a whole lot of people owe you favors for these fucking "merit" promotions. We all know the drill. And those of us who spent 3 decades being the Police will feel like even biggers fools for doing so, I know I will.
So have a drink and enjoy your retirement Ed. Better yet have 10.
the specials that night were blowjobs and sex on the beach, I believe it was 2 for 1
Watched many submarine races at Marquette Park .
"...get your head outta your ass, pal..."
No thank you. I like my head where it is at. Care to join me?
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
