Police officers and fellow detectives are not immune, but they are usually less idiotic than the others. Not in this case. Please read the following completely true story and pity me, for I am a [...]

Teachers Boycott Back To School Night
Tuesday, September 21st, 2010In our most recent contract, the city removed a decades-old residency rule, which required police officers to live inside the city limits. Now that the clause is gone, a lot of cops are evacuating the city. The most-cited reason? “The schools are better in the suburbs.” Think so, huh? Then you better not read this. [...]
