BigSqwert Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Wow Cops plan benefit for officer charged in fatal DUI October 21, 2009 10:29 PM Chicago police officers are planning a benefit this weekend at their union headquarters for Joseph Frugoli, who is accused of crashing into a car while driving drunk on the Dan Ryan in April, killing two people. An invitation to the event is posted on the Web site of the Fraternal Order of Police, and appears next to the numbers "10-1," radio code for officer in need of assistance. "You're invited to assist Detective Joe Frugoli," the posting reads. Tickets cost $50. A detective lists his name and phone number for further information. Police said Frugoli's blood-alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit when his Lexus SUV struck a car that had pulled over on the Dan Ryan Expressway north of 18th Street. The car exploded into flames and killed Andrew Cazares, 23, and Fausto Manzera, 21. Frugoli is also accused of leaving the scene. FOP President Mark Donahue distanced the organization from the event, saying it was planned by some of the officer's friends. Donahue said FOP members have a right to use the building, and emphasized that the FOP was not involved or advocating one way or the other regarding the Frugoli case.

NorthSideSox72 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I mentioned this earlier today in the speeding thread in SLaM. This pisses me off. However, let's be clear - as I said in SLaM, this is what makes people hate the cops (the blue wall). The unfortunate side effect is people project that hate to ALL cops, when only some are this insultingly slimy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) I hope this gets protested big time. If they wanted to do the right thing, they should have a benefit for the families of the dead. Edited October 22, 2009 by GoSox05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw how he seemed to get free passes for his rudeness and bad behavior, and that just makes me sick. I understand their thinking, I just don't agreee with it. Keeping the bad apples around spoils the whole bunch, and right or wrong, guily by association. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 What does this have to do with the National Wrestling Alliance? I'm ashamed of you for missing that one, Kyyle. Back on topic, that is indeed hideous and misguided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSqwert Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Oct 23, 2009 -> 04:56 PM) What is the assistance for? I'm assuming it's either for his legal fees or to help him and his family out. It's obviously not for the victim's family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I'm sure just about everyone knows someone or knows of a story where a cop (or a relative or friend of a cop) gets the attention when something like this happens. My sister was involved in a car accident years ago where the driver of the other car was stinking drunk. But, because he was the police chief's cousin, they didn't even do a breathalyzer. A few weeks later, he was at a function on crutches and all his buddies were feeling sorry for him. A friend of ours kicked his crutch out from under him. This deal with having a benefit for a cop who killed two people his horrible. And it's a shame that the good cops out there are sullied by these losers.

hogan873 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 26, 2009 -> 10:00 AM) Innocent until proven guilty I agree, but the guy had a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit. They shouldn't be holding a benefit for this chump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
