Chicago cop sued for asking woman on a date

Not going to quote all that, Boom, but I'm fired up to know I can get sushi at Walgreen's!

 

I'm telling you. He should have given her a warning and and written a short, sweet note on the back of her card.

I just don't see myself ever trusting someone that went through my records like that to locate me. I would seriously worry about what stuff he would do in the future.

I heard some instances above that were OK and yes, would make a great story many years later. I just don't think this is one. IMO.

 

One more post!

 

Not the direction I was going at all. Just being sympathetic as a one-time single loser who had a hard time meeting women (and was pretty hamfisted in his attempts when the opportunity did arise).

 

As a one-time single loser myself, I appreciate the direction you're going. But I think you're very strongly underestimating the fact that he committed a serious crime in his "hamfisted" effort at asking a woman out.

No matter how innocent his intentions may have been, I think most women would see this for what it really was: an abuse of power that borders on stalking. That's Jason Voorhees territory, not Lloyd Dobler.

 

Damn straight! That did bother me

 

Am I the only ex-Chicagoan who laughed about the cop being from Stickney?

I think that town might be tied with nearby Lyons for most dive bars (and creepy dudes drinking in them) per square mile.

 

If he would have thrown in a reference to handcuffs, he might have had a better shot.

 

Doesn't see the problem

 

Blue font?

 

You're going to set my country music award on fire?

 

I'm a woman and I don't see the big deal whatsoever.

I'm fairly confident the cop could have found all her personal information on the Internet. Maybe using DMV records was a shortcut, maybe it was a straight search one of the Internet sites anyone can use. The story didn't really specify, but it's all out there.

Rip up the letter and forget about it.
