We're the Only Ones Dirty Har...uh...Gerry Enough

Take Gerald Callahan.

In 2004, he handcuffed a bartender who refused to serve him. The city paid the bartender $15,000 to make his false-arrest lawsuit go away and Callahan was suspended.

The department ordered Callahan -- an alcoholic and manic depressive -- into rehab. The day before he was return to normal duty in 2006, supervisors smelled booze on his breath. He refused to take a Breathalyzer and was abusive to his bosses.
Maybe they're part of that Chicago "Only Ones" special hires program. And 3/4 of these mutts (that's more than "a few bad apples") are returned to the streets, where they're deemed more trustworthy to keep and bear arms than you or I.

Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.
