A Chicago police officer got in some trouble at a bar in Forest Park this weekend. First he was "jumping in the air, then landing on tables with his back and breaking them." (Secretly a pro wrestler? Jeeze louise.) Then he was "combative" with the arresting officers, and he spit blood at a paramedic. Perhaps unsurprisingly, "it was determined that his blood-alcohol level exceeded .08." Really? You don't say.

@Prescott: Well played. I'm particularly in favor of this one, though.
