Two police officers have been "hit" recently. One near Harrison and Western, the other on the south side. Any connection???

My father used to say that anyone who wanted to be a police officer was probably not fit to be a police officer. Like many things my father used to say, this seems wiser every year. Every time I think that some Chicago cop has finally done the most disgraceful thing a cop could ever do, another one proves me wrong. I can't imagine why any Chicagoan is afraid of terrorism. The Chicago police force is far more of a threat to the safety of the average Chicagoan than some mid-eastern religious fanatics.

are you saying this wouldn't have happened had this guy went to college? how do you know he didn't go to college? if he didn't, you think he'd recall what he learned in philosophy 101 and determine that contracting a hit was not a good idea? a college degree wouldn't prevent this from happening. if anything, if he was smarter, he might have been able to get away with it.

I know po pos who disagree with this, but can we please have a mandatory four year college degree requirement for the police?

Margaret, hate to knitpick, but you have Finnegan spelled two different ways. The po pos I knows spells it that way, but the bad po pos may spell it with an "i." You might want to double-check that.
