CPD investigating photo of officers sleeping on the job

A photo of two Chicago police officers sleeping in their squad car has gone viral. Now, the department is taking disciplinary action.

The image has been shared over 20,000 times on Facebook, with thousands of comments and reactions. It shows two cops slumped over with their bullet proof vests on. The original caption said “why crime happens.”

The Chicago Police Department says they became aware of the photo over the weekend, in which more than 50 people were shot and five people killed.

The matter is being investigated by the Chicago Police Internal Affairs Bureau.
