The young guys get sucked into it in order to prove themselves. The older cops with more experience know how it works. In Chicago givin' another cop a ticket for DUI is an instant career dead end. One thing that they do better than anything though is to stick together. The next cop that pulled you over knew right away that some other cop had a problem with you.īecause you had staple holes there on your license.
#Funny squirrel stick em up pictures with guns drivers
If you've ever gotten a ticket and the cop thought you were an asshole all he had to do was to make sure that when he stapled your drivers lisense to the paperwork was that he put the staple through your picture. The corruption is so endemic to the system that I have no faith at all that it can ever be eliminated. There's some dark shadows on the other side of that 'thin blue line' and I'm telling you that I hope you never see them. Not because his Police Commissioner had an illegal gambling operation going on in his town.īut because he'd kept it a secret from him. The ones that were all gone when the county went to raid his place because Iron Fist supposedly got tipped off and told him he'd better get rid of those things fast. The same guy that owned the bar that installed the illegal poker machines. Or that phone call I got about the Police Commisioner's federal conviction for selling a couple of kilos of the white stuff. The stories I started to hear were unbelievable.įirebombing the garbage dumpster in front of my office. The whole place is filled with bad apples.
The problem is that in some departments the ratio's pretty skewed. The only thing that they really fear are the half of the cops who wouldn't tolerate that stuff. There's more than a few people in prison who've been sent there wrongly convicted of crimes these guys have done. I'm talking about people who've not only got no problem murdering someone.īut they've got the understanding and the means to get away with it. It was like some fog was lifted and I saw what went on 'behind the curtain.' I don't think anything's ever offended me so much as seeing that bullshit up close. Only they hide behind those badges and blue uniforms.Īnd they're authorized by the state to carry guns and use deadly force. You'd be shocked that they're nothing but another street gang bunch of thugs. I'd say that in my experience about half of them are an honor to the badge. Since then I've made quite a few friends who happen to be cops. One night shattered that and life itself would never be so simple again.īut the systematic coverup I was witness to. There was a certain bliss in living with that ignorance. I used to look at things as so much more 'black and white.'Īnd 'our government existed to serve and protect the people.' I'm Joe Hallenbeck.Īt least I didn't shit my talent away on coke.The events that night in the parking lot changed me forever. Banned from the league on gambling charges, allegations of drug abuse. You don't think an old guy like me could hurt ya, do ya Jimmy? Man, you couldn't protect a cup of warm piss.Ĭome on, chicken shit. Kick him again.Īll right! You want the envelope the hooker had, right? Shit, we're bein' beat up by the inventor of Scrabble. Jake attacks his job with a certain exuberance.
We're dealin' with a couple of geniuses here.Īlright man, just leave him the fuck alone! You like that word? And you do have that envelope, don't you?īetter give up, Jimmy. See, Jake, here's a man who knows when a situation is untenable. Perhaps we can dispense with the fun and games now, yes? Apprise Rodney Dangerfield here of his situation.
