Best story I've read in years!

[Nurseman]

Apparently, there was this 14 y/o kid, in Chicago, who wanted to become a Cop in the worst way......AND HE DID!!!!

The kid shows up at the beginning of a shift, in full uniform (minus a badge and gun) says he's from another station across town. He gets through roll-call, gets assigned a partner, goes out on patrol. They didn't realize he was underage until after he had worked a whole 5 hour shift .

I wonder if he'll get a paycheck?! Muhahahahahahahaha!!!!

Just proves that children are sometimes smarter than adults

I think we can safely send his name to Guinness for entry in Worlds Biggest Demonstration of Chutzpah!

ballsy. very ballsy. Until he gets a criminal record for impersonating an officer, and can then nevere ACTUALLY be a cop.

[Nurseman]

Actually, he HAS a record. Apparently, this isn't his first time doing this, just his most successful.

Hmm this 14 year old kid isnt the son of Gov. Rod Blagojevich right? Because I mean having him as your dad would even make me want to try to be a cop to bring him down. :boggled:

Is he a man-child or something? I'd think his voice, and other pre-pubescent clues, would give him away.

Maybe they just assumed that those characteristics were the reason why he'd want to be a cop? There are probably tons of cops who are ashamed of certain characteristics of themselves, and so become cops to go on power trips and whatnot.

one of my friend's son is 14. He looks like he's in his twenties. He's over six feet tall, and build like a football player (actually, he IS a football player!) and although his features are still boyish, a lot of grown men's are. He could pass for 22.
