Just proves that Tom Dart is a total Moron.

Not only is the newsreader earnestness and the campaign by Cook County Sheriff's police basically law enforcement theater —even if not for the mopes who get nabbed— but, as is all too clear, it is class and socio-economic status based.  The not-so-subtext of the story is that the sting is aimed at a certain category of people at each end of the transaction.

And the term "trafficking" used in the report seems to have become a thought-stopping word with little actual meaning beyond its intent to outrage.  Are we to understand that these pimps and johns knowingly taking advantage of and abusing unsuspecting, underage girls?  The story doesn't say one way or the other.

In view of the fact that I know of at least one provider who has police —perhaps even some of the chunky type with Sha-Kaw-Go accents— as clients, it would be interesting to see a copy of the sting ad in question, if only to learn just what the bait was.  Was it the buxom, MILFy-looking decoy partially seen in the report?

And how many of these tough-talking "Deal with it" cops are themselves clients?

Sign me "Jess Wonderin'"

My ATF has told me that she has a CPD client that she sees. He's about to retire from the force.

I would never go a hotel on Mannheim Road. It's just asking for trouble. LE has targeted that area for decades. Once infamous for porn shops, strip clubs, and streetwalkers (remember the U of I official who spent thousands of taxpayer dollars there?); Mannheim Road today is nothing but a trap for poor Johns who don't know any better.  

Also, I'm guessing that those LE BP girls did not have any reviews. How many times do you guys have to say it: do your research.
