Favorite movie...

HBO series? Does that count? If so "The Wire" was fantastic. I watched all 5 seasons in a two week period and I thought it was as realistic as a movie is going to get. Not perfect but real close.

Do they really do those wakes in the bar laying out the dead guy on a pool table like that? I told a friend of mine that theres no way Chicago PD would do something like that.

Good question. One of my best friends retired from Baltimore City as a Det. in Narcotics. He got shot twice. Wearing his vest but took one to the shin and kinda fuked him up so they retired him. 66 2/3 tax free pension. Clears $42k a year. Win for life he calls it...lol. I will have to ask him.

Not...Win for life is getting fuked while on a federal crime ie: chasing a bank robbery actor and you go out on 66 2/3 tax (state) then the fed picks up the other 33 1/3. 100 % tax free :biggrin:
