Subject: [Magdalen] Bus full o' cops

> I rode a bus home from the office yesterday. At one stop along
> Michigan Avenue (main shopping/tourist street), two Chicago police
> officers boarded and sat near me, in seats facing each other across
> the aisle. They chatted, upbeat. At one point, one pointed at Michael
> Jordan restaurant and said, "Do you think he's there?" The other said,
> "I don't think he comes to Chicago much anymore." Later, they watched
> other officers board a northbound bus (opposite direction) and one
> said, "They got on a different one." A few stops later, two more
> police officers boarded our bus, apparently with a young couple
> (married, or boyfriend-girlfriend). All sat together in a group. I
> tried to see whether the couple were famous or something. They sat
> looking affectionate toward each other, looking out the window. One of
> the officers asked them, "You're going to your apartment, right?" I
> think the answer was yes.
>
> After I got off the bus, I noticed another bus behind us also had
> Chicago police officers on it.

> What gives? Could this have been police escorting celebrities? Witness
> protection? The couple were attractive, but I couldn't identify them
> as TV stars or anything.

> One of those odd things, I guess. But speaking of TV stars, the
> officers were all quite attractive young or youngish men. There are
> all those Chicago shows now (Chicago Fire, Chicago Med). I
> wonder...but I think actors in police uniforms (and bulletproof vests
> it appeared they had on) would be, um, problematic. And riding a bus
> together?
