Toya Turner Leaving CHICAGO PD Ahead of Season 13  (June 26)

"The show is currently casting a new female series regular to play
an officer on the ATF Task Force with a military background who is
described as a 'loose cannon'".

What ATF task force? There's never been an ATF task force on this
show. As for being a loose cannon, why do TV cops always have to be
loose cannons? And what exactly is a loose cannon, anyway? Cannons are
big, massively heavy artillery.  I'm not sure how one gets loose in the
first place.

A cannon had lots and lots of recoil. They tied it to its mountings with
heavy rope but after being fired, it might get loose, role around on the
deck, wreaking havoc.

If an ATF agent were incapable of safely taking a heavy weapon into
secure custody, what the hell use is he? Fire him.

Thank goodness Congress banned high-capacity magazines of cannonballs.
