The 'hole' truth --- BG cops caught accepting cash



Sad as it may seem, BG’s cops were caught being “on the take” earlier today.
Typical cops.  Give us cash if you want a donut.  Or a mug.  Or a raffle ticket.
You didn’t need a dash cam or a body cam – the take was done in plain sight.
At a time when crime is running rampant and cops are getting thrown under the bus, where are BG’s finest?  Standing on roofs and, dare I say it?  Soliciting.
Who would have thought it would come to this?
But that’s exactly what happened. Fortunately, it was all in the name of charity as members of the Buffalo Grove Police Department spent time at three BG Dunkin’ Donuts to raise money for Special Olympics through its “Cop on the Roof” program.  In addition to taking cash, officers were selling chances to win a variety of prizes while also selling coffee mugs, T-shirts and other items to raise money for Special Olympics.
This year marked an unheralded first – a chance for a copy to actually get on the roof.   Unlike the Dunkin’ Donuts at Arlington Heights and McHenry roads, and at Aptakisic and Weiland roads, the new one at 245 McHenry Road actually has a flat roof that allows people to stand on it.  The other two have pitched roofs that are too hazardous for someone to stand on.
According to information from the village’s website, funds raised benefit the 2016 “Torch Run”, which “..has raised more than $35 million over 30 years while increasing awareness of Special Olympics Illinois athletes and their accomplishments..”
The event ran from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m., so if you offer a BG cop cash now, don’t be surprised if you end in a holding cell – which is not a good idea.  The donuts are not as fresh.
