Chicago's Finest

ESOTERICA

The "storm troopers in blue" have certainly come a long way—I guess.

A 14-year-old aspiring police officer donned a uniform, walked into a Chicago police station and managed to get an assignment — patroling in a squad car for five hours before he was detected, police said Sunday.

Apparently, "the boy looks older than 14," so the cops were more easily fooled. I.e., the police force's defense is that it could've happened to anyone.

Illinois sure has had an interesting few weeks, hasn't it? All this and Blagojevich’s impeachment trial hasn't even started yet.
