Sturlini, like a dazed bull, was outraged. Armed with the verbal evidence of the young cop, Sturlini then suspended Spyrison for 10 days, apparently believing he had once again made the streets of Des Plaines safe for women and children by taking the veteran cop to strict draconian task. The Union attorney sat down with the City attorney. In the months before they left, one guy, a Sergeant, used up something like 100 accumulated sick days while the other guy, a Patrolman, was able to wipe almost 90 off the books. SOME COPS get the gold-plated star when they retire.
Some cops get the gold watch.
And some cops, like Bill Spryison, get the shaft. Thanks Bobby, you're a true Chief of Police.
