A Good Cup of Joe, cont'd

I read today that a 55 year-old Chicago cop has been (allegedly) running around demanding free coffee from Starbucks. There may be something to these allegations since she has been suspended and referred for counselling. I remember great police scandals when I lived in New York: police so corrupt they were implicated in protecting drug dealers and demanding sexual favors from prostitutes. That is stuff worthy of an Al Pacino movie. This woman was running around flashing her handcuffs and her badge at the poor barristas working at Starbucks. This is stuff worthy of a Molly Shannon Saturday night live skit or Reno 911. Please, police officers, if you are going to go the corrupt route, please have some dignity and use your office to extort a trip to Atlantic City or some steaks or something. Waving your gun around for an overpriced cup of coffee (and baked goods)? I know you are better at corruption than that.
