We need more info. Where is this?

Because I got a call to make to the local police there.

That was pathetic. Fire that cop and charge that drunk.

While a drunken boor all but physically assaulted her.

I had a thought that they may have been related to each other. Or at least knew each other from somewhere else. Local KKK clan maybe. I'm talking about the cop and the drunk.

it was the most white privileged thing I've heard this morning. Topped later by the 1000th person informing me that if I say I was born in America, it makes me sound like a Trump supporter.

I didn't realize that at first. I guess he's not on duty? What's with the umpire thing?

Wow. Harassment by a drunk guy. She handled it a lot better than I would have.

But I can see how you would mistake it for an umpire chest protector

I've never seen garb like that on an officer.

I think it might be an umpire thing. They're at a park. ???

I'm confused by the clothing.

But I guess if he weren't on duty he wouldn't be wearing the shirt w/an official patch.

Hard to believe he didn't intervene. Wow. And that harasser is obviously drunk. There's a law against public drunkenness. Guess he's Republican. He should be reported for not doing his job.

It holds the Kevlar, radio and other equipment. They look ridiculous when the belly gets too big.

I just realized this was Cook County. Now it all makes more sense. The Cook County cops are the worst of the worst. We used to have several customers who were county coppers. Borderline if not actual criminals.

But this scene looks like a set up -- by the police -- out of a B-movie. The woman who was being harassed and the guy who appeared on scene towards the end kept their cool, and that spoiled it. That cop was waiting for an excuse. His inaction wasn't cowardly. It was racist. Back-up was going to be called in, bodies were going to beaten, bruised, tasered and shot, and the POS racist loudmouth would have been given a ride home by the police after the smoke had cleared. But the would-be victims kept their cool and refused to be provoked.

Shoot, the cop knew he was on camera and couldn't risk acting without visible provocation.
