A cop hits on me

[Peter Kilander]

My two cents:
Last summer, in Chicago there was an incident at an after hours (non-legal)
Cop bar. Supposedly, the only blacks allowed inside are fellow cops,
paramedics, or firemen. I'd been there a couple of times, not knowing about
the racist code; the building was nondescript and you had to knock on the
door three times in order to be allowed in.

The story was that a black guy tried to go in and when he wouldn't leave he
was beaten up by a couple of off-duty officers.  At least that's what the
newspapers said. The bar was closed and supposedly punishment was to be
meeted out. A day or so later, the papers said that what actually had
happened was that this guy had been throwing chairs and being a nuisance and
that the police escorted him outside. I heard that the bar was reopened.

It was if Mayor Daley pulled an Obe One Kanobe from Star Wars on the papers.
