"Gee Mom, what's wrong with this barrel of apples???!!!"

Talk about utter shamelessness:

Excerpt:

"Chicago police officers are planning a benefit this weekend at their union headquarters for Joseph Frugoli, who is accused of crashing into a car while driving drunk on the Dan Ryan in April, killing two people.

An invitation to the event is posted on the Web site of the Fraternal Order of Police, and appears next to the numbers "10-1," radio code for officer in need of assistance.

"You're invited to assist Detective Joe Frugoli," the posting reads. Tickets cost $50. A detective lists his name and phone number for further information.

Police said Frugoli's blood-alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit when his Lexus SUV struck a car that had pulled over on the Dan Ryan Expressway north of 18th Street. The car exploded into flames and killed Andrew Cazares, 23, and Fausto Manzera, 21.

Frugoli is also accused of leaving the scene."

Link includes a vid, too.

The Chicago Tribune also has an article about it, here:

An excellent example of the grotesque corruption that creates the thin blue line.

WTF? are you kidding me? So there is suck a thing as being above the law?

So there is suck a thing as being above the law?

There sure is, if you're a cop. It still amazes me how we, the public are supposed to follow the rule of but cops are above it. The law has no meaning if the ones who are supposed to serve it can break it without consequences.

Dirty fucking shameless pricks.

I hope they put him under the jail. But I doubt that he'll serve hard time.

I liked this guy's comment though:

Union's? In Chicago? NAH. Unions are a good thing, they protect people's jobs, like bad cops. people that should be fired or a bad at their job are protected by unions.

Fucking cops!

This cop is a disgrace and an embarrassment. The link says he "fled the scene." What a fucking coward cop.

Hopefully the Chicago tabloid press will shame any person who actually shows up at this event...

I should be an officer, you can get away with anything.

I will start my list.

From the article:

"FOP President Mark Donahue distanced the organization from the event, saying it was planned by some of the officer's friends.

Donahue said FOP members have a right to use the building, and emphasized that the FOP was not involved or advocating one way or the other regarding the Frugoli case."

Nice job at injecting your blanket anti-union schtick into the thread, though...



(Remember how shitty unions are the next time you have a nice weekend, though)

Very poor taste IMHO....and I'm pro-police.

I can only hope that no one shows up for this.
