Not the Law and Order<\/a> bullshit you have all grown so fond of.<\/p>\n

Not CSI<\/a>. Not Miami<\/a>. The real deal.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0veteran <\/strong><\/a>Chicago<\/a> homicide detective<\/a> pours his heart out on Craigslist<\/a> in the\u00a0“rants and raves” section<\/strong>, and it is a fascinating read.<\/p>\n

“I’ve doing it for several years. I can think of roughly a dozen cases in the last three years that wrapped up in a nice tidy package. Until this year, the unit I work in averaged about 170 murders a year.”<\/p>\n

“I always think of a confession as going to a bar and trying to get a beautiful woman who has no interest in you to agree to a one time hook-up. It’s really a twisted romance. You talk for hours and hours about meaningless shit, all the time trying to bring the offender back to the murder<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

“Never trust a detective<\/a> who dresses like one of those TV<\/a>characters”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
