For what feels like the millionth time, Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis was called before the City Council. Today's topic? The 14-year old who impersonated a police officer. The only new substantial detail that came out of the questioning was that the teen had tried to enter another station before he successfully infiltrated the district station where he was eventually caught. According to the Trib:
A considerable amount of time was spent discussing whether the back door to the station that the boy entered was broken or not. After much back and forth, aldermen determined the door wasn't broken, but that officers kept it open or unlocked so that officers could come and go freely. The city actually changed the door's lock yesterday, and gave the new keys to only select staff.Weis also reportedly told the council that another police impersonator had been caught this morning, but no details were available on that.
