Chicago police, fire respond for battery by projectile — a pink water balloon.

My head hurts so, so very much.  Last month, marine units from both the Chicago Police Department and Chicago Fire Department had to respond to the Playpen area of Lake Michigan for a person hit with a projectile thrown from boat-to-boat that hit an adult in the chest.

The projectile?  A pink water balloon. 

The Sun-Times details and provides the official police report for the biggest waste of time and resources — ever.  And this is a 54 year old man we’re talking about!  Instead of 9-1-1, I feel like a lot of our problems would be solved with a toll-free hotline for advice on how to adult.  — [eric]
