I love the "Police Beat" section in "Inside," the paper that serves Chicago's North Side neighborhoods. Particularly, I love the headlines.Here are some of my favorites from this issue:
Male nurse stabbed in face
Phone loan leads to punch in the face
Man attacks with fists, car
Oh, and the piece de resistance: Pulled-over woman with bat calls officer white devil, attacks.
Abby and I remember reading "Police Beat" when we were staying in a hostel on our first day in Chicago nine years ago. We were terrified. Now we just take super-important lessons from it, like don't leave your effing key in the safe.
