The Chicago police scanner was as bonkers as you’d expect after World Series
This was a party 108 years in the making, and most of Chicago* celebrated Wednesday night and into Thursday morning after the Chicago Cubs won the World Series.
*White Sox fans, not so much
So it should come as no surprise that the police scanner included some wacky updates. These are from the Twitter accounts Chicagoland Scanner and CʜɪᴄᴀɢᴏSᴄᴀɴɴᴇʀ, which both tweet things that are heard on scanners in Chicago and the surrounding area. Let’s kick this off the big news:
