Kim – They don’t get any colder.

Morgan – It is the show that most closely resembles Philadelphia detective work.

George – Sometimes we don’t get 7 officers to an assist. Seriously.

LDIV – The sad part is that all of these officers think they are going to court for the case. In these terrible financial times, OT is being cut all over. Only one cop will get a court notice.

MeToo – I’m surprised they didn’t call the SWAT team.

Deanna – You would think at least twice that number. Depending upon the crime, you will get at least two officers, and at most, the entire district.

“bad boys, bad boys..whatcha gonna do….” An episode right out of Cops. Next week they will probably heist a car, unfortunately. With 7 officers they are probably thinking they are hard core criminals to warrant that show of force.

When Chicago was on a point system ,many years ago I was in the office when the beat guys brought in a 17 and 16 year old for retail theft. The security guard (off duty PO) detained them for eating a grape (1 each) in the produce section of a Dominick’s (Safeway Store). The 17 year old in Ill is an adult so he went to the lockup. I got stuck with the 16 year old because I was a Youth Officer (Dick who only handled kids). Didn’t have 7 beat guys but the W/C, Desk Sgt., Property Crime Dick, 2 lockup keepers, 2 beat POs and me the Y.O.. We had some real winners. It’s good to see that things are not much different 25 + years later and in another city.

You’ve got my sympathy, Wyatt. Sounds like an episode for Barney Miller alright.

I thought that you had a freezer for “Cold Case Files” such as this.
