You sure do know quite a bit about this group you are a part of.

Mr. Sliwa had admitted to faking several heroic subway rescues, including thwarting a mugging and rape. He said his last publicity stunt was in 1980, when he claimed he was kidnapped by three off-duty transit police officers. He said he stopped staging stunts after the kidnapping provoked the wrath of the Bronx District Attorney at the time, Mario Merola.

Yep, anybody that fakes crimes including their own kidnapping for personal gain sure is a stand up guy!

rather look up to a guy like that or a cop that dealt with drugs before becoming a cop or a cop committing illegal activity and go to school and portraying themselves as a person all kids should look up to.

So thats your defense of the guy? Kids can look up to him because some cops are worse? Ridiculous.

I think if I was a criminal and those guys tried to aprehend me, I would get caught, because I would be too busy trying not to die from laughing.

Default Guardian Angels to Patrol Lakefront on Northside

I didn't even realize Chicago had Guardian Angels any longer. Haven't heard about them in a few years. Too bad our police force can't just handle this without involvement from community groups

I think that's great news.

And to address one of the letter-writers at that story:

Instead of whining that they are helping out on the northside, please start or support a Guardian Angels chapter in your neighborhood.

People shouldn't expect the government to do everything for them - JFK had it right way back when he said "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

It only took a couple teens exchanging punches on the northside to cause all this.
But everywhere else in chicago people can blast at each other without a problem
