to serve, protect and bemuse...

You will randomly find cops and CTA security [usually with guard dogs] wandering around or on the train to I guess bust up impromptu craps games, break dancin' and car-hopping.

My current favorite incidences with Chicago's finest [and it's red-headed step cousin, CTA security] are:

Today a cop was sitting on a bench in the subway....with a full on ski-mask. I didn't realize he was a cop until I saw the gun in its holster and uniform [and it's still possible he wasn't a real cop, since people in this city like to play dress up]. It looked super sketchy and it was only 40 degrees, which is not a just cause to look like a cat burglar/S&M dungeon master....grow a pair buddy.


A few weeks ago, CTA security was coming up the stairs with two German shepherds. One of the doggies wizzed on the stairs while one of the guys tried to holla. Good work.
