TOO MANY CAMERAS AROUND TO ACT STUPIDLY

by Bob Walsh

This made the mainstream media a couple of days ago. There were three dramatis personae. One was a woman wearing a t-shirt with a Puerto Rican flag on it. One was a white man who engaged in some fairly serious "verbal assault" who was apparently too fucking stupid to know that Puerto Rico IS part of the United States. One was a cop, a Cook County, Ill. Forest Preserve Officer, one Patrick Connor.

The lady, Ms. Mia Irizarry, 24, asked Officer Connor for assistance, stating that she felt unsafe around her harasser, Timothy Trybus. Connor walked away from the scene, though later returned to speak to Trybus. Trybus told the cop to "shut the fuck up."

Connor resigned two days ago. Seems appropriate. Clearly the guy has some issues with confrontation. "Normal" people can be expected to have this characteristic. On-duty uniform police officers should not.

Officer Conner didn't do his job. I think he was afraid of the old, drunken Geezer.
