Dear Mayor McGinn,

Dear Mr. Mayor,

I notice some kind of letter from the city council

accusing you of dragging your feet on hiring more cops.

I wonder whether they are really needed, I walk by Tullys

at Five Corners in the U-District/ U-Village area, and there

are ten cop cars filling up for coffee for up to an hour

at 6 AM.

The other day, there was a hold-up of Keybank in

the U-Village, in no time 25 cop cars show up, cruising all the

side streets, no one ever gets out of a car, if I were a robber

they would never catch me hiding in all that foliage and those spacious

backyards. As a matter of fact, after ten cop cars had cruised

past me outside the Zoka coffee shop on Blakely, five blocks

north of Keybank, which is at about 45th street, I wanted to approach

one cop car that had stopped nearby to find out what all the fuss was about,
 but this bright fellow first thought that I who am getting towards 75, although I look
closer to 65, has no beard or mustache,
might be the 25 year old robber who, allegedly, allegedly, allegedly,
 has a beard and handlebar, is wearing a black blazer and black
pants, is wearing a black cap, just because I too am wearing a black blazer
 and light greysweats and a UW Cap and am that  bankrobber

who walks up to cop cars, and so evidently would find better

employment in a circus as a quick change artist.
 None too bright would bean understatement.
He then apologizes after frisking me by saying "well, a black

blazer" to the other cops who had showed up in no time.

A lot nice but also a lot stupider than, say, the LAPD
or Mayor Daley's gangster, or the vicious NYPD.
But still!

About a decade ago, while doing a book on telemarketing

it came to my attention that all the police unions and benevolent

associations, bar none, jail keeps, you name it, the unions of the civilian

support groups ... that the leadership does fund drives to support

the various union officials. I could get into grittier detail if you

like.  Yours ever so sincerely,
