Guard fired for drinking urine in uniform 
Orland Park, Ill. | February 03, 2006 12:01:13 AM IST
An 84-year-old Chicago-area crossing guard has been fired for being photographed off-duty in his police uniform while drinking his own urine.
Ed Danis, 84, is an Orland Park urine therapy devotee who was featured in a Jan. 29 Daily Southtown newspaper story, along with three photographs of him practicing his belief of 12 years.
It has nothing to do with urine therapy, Orland Park Police Chief Tim McCarthy told the newspaper. People cannot go around in Orland Park police uniforms speaking out on any issues.
Danis said a police sergeant who supervises the crossing guards asked him Wednesday to resign or face being fired this week. Danis refused to resign and contacted a lawyer.
But he stands by the controversial practice and suspects a plot in which the medical establishment is trying to keep urine therapy a secret.
I think someone in the medical lobby got to the chief of police, he said. They don't want this out.
