Welcome to Chicago........


Quote:
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.

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.

Accused of? passh, he did it! Another scumbag cop!

I saw the family protesting the benefit on the news, politely, not saying a word. If I had been there I'd be screaming at these people attending, I wish O'reilly sent his guy there, maybe he will this week? we should report it to him... and see what happens.

You see this again and again on the news, and just think about the stuff that goes unnoticed or not prosecuted because of lack of evidence etc..., if it's not caught on tape these days, they're getting off with a slap on the wrist at most! Makes me sick!

I don't have a problem with Bloomington nor the people in Illinois (people are people), it's the freaking unions I have to deal with. My contractor just finished a job that cost us about 400 k and I could get the same job done Texas for about 250 k. with a better quality work. I have to go and inspect the work before I pay them, and I know the hassles I'm going to have to contend with. Thank God I don't have to fly into O'Hare (that is a nightmare in it's self!).
