Chicago's mayor says top cop drinking before incident in car

[left-of-center2012]

Chicago's mayor said Friday that the city's top police officer, (Police) Superintendent Eddie Johnson. told her he'd had "a couple of drinks with dinner" before he fell asleep at a stop sign while driving home, an incident that the chief contends was related to a change in his blood pressure medication.

Johnson didn't mention having anything to drink when he spoke to reporters Thursday night ... Mayor Lori Lightfoot (said) she agreed with Eddie Johnson's decision to request an internal affairs investigation of the Thursday incident to assure the public he's not trying to hide anything about his actions.

Johnson told reporters Thursday evening that he was driving home at about 12:30 that morning, after having let his driver go home to his family, when he felt lightheaded. He said he pulled over and fell asleep.

The responding officers found Johnson slumped over but allowed him to drive home and did not administer a breathalyzer test or a field sobriety test.

2. About the phrase, "When You Have Seen It All, There is MORE"...This is the "MORE"

This is part of the unbelievable stories in the news. This cannot be true, but it is true. I think it is ..true..
..Is it?

One added idea, I think Chief of Police Eddie Johnson will be retiring very soon. Within the next few days I suspect.
