Cobra Lounge: Police respond to alleged bar fight

A citywide 10-1, officer distress call, was issued after a man presumed to be an off-duty Chicago police officer was involved in an alleged brawl at a Near West Side bar.

Thursday, around 12:17 a.m., police cars flooded the street in front of the Cobra Lounge at 235 North Ashland Avenue, near Ashland and Fulton.

According to initial police dispatch reports, an off-duty cop was being surrounded by several men outside the nightclub.

A Chicago cabdriver reported the incident to 911.

When authorities arrived they discovered the off-duty cop was really a military police officer.

A responding officer said the altercation stemmed from a “bar fight”.

No injuries or arrests were reported.

    doesn't it bother anybody that the distress call went city wide and the street flooded with cops? Does that sound like an apt use of resources? Sounds like a f'n militia.
