Bad cop, no donut

“Eating is a crime, but puking is free! Nobody wants to go near someone covered in vomit...”

“Houston Chronicle



Landscape contractor Blair Davis was in his northwest Harris County home around 2 p.m. Tuesday when there was a knock at his door.


Davis said he hadn't even gotten his hand on the doorknob when it flew open and he was looking at the barrel of a pistol.

Behind the gun were about 10 members of the Harris County Organized Crime and Narcotics Task Force, who burst into the home, guns drawn, and began shouting at him to get down on the floor.

There on the floor, Davis said, it took a while to figure out that what had caused the swarm of lawmen to descend upon him was the hibiscus in his front yard.

That's right, hibiscus.

The foliage of the Texas Star hibiscus, a native plant that's growing in popularity, vaguely resembles that of marijuana.

But: "It's got white buds on it," Davis said. "Hello."

Davis had several of the plants in his yard, where he grows stock for his business.

"They were in containers," he said: "I don't want to say potted plants."

Evidently, some well-meaning but horticulturally challenged citizen turned Davis in. Davis said the team of narcotics officers combed his house for about an hour, at one point discussing whether red and gold bamboo growing in his window might be marijuana. They also asked what he did with the watermelons and cantaloupes growing in his back yard.

"What would I do with them?" Davis said.

“whatever...”

“People that speak on cell phones during movies really piss me off. I had this happen to me last month. Cell phone went off and the douchebag started his conversation. After 2 or so minutes I had enough. I started making a ruckus and eventually annoyed the guy.

He took his call out into the hallway and threatened to kick my ass after the movie ended. I said to get to me, he had to go through my wife first.

Wish the cops that peppered the couple were in my theater that night.”

“People that eat on Metro piss me off. I was on a train at the crack-o-dawn and someone was eating a sub. Thought I was going to puke.

Then again, I wish they would arrest people that stand on the left side of metro escalators. Although I enjoy telling them to get the F out of my way, sometimes it's tiring.”

“People that get pissed off piss me off.

Piss off!

:-)”

“People piss me off!”

“People telling me to Piss off REALLY Piss me Off!”

“People who get pisses of by being told to piss off by pissed off people piss me off.”

“I would really like to get pissed, in the ynami sense.”

“in the ynami sense of the word.

i mean in the british slang sense of the word.

my body is back from vacation but my brain was lost at luggage claim.”

“Kinky!”

“Me need drink, mouth not work good no more.”

“Funny taste?”

“Bloody hell or Bloody Mary?”

“How about the phuckers that buy the scratch and win lottos and stand there holding up the line while they scratch? Bassturds!”

“Yeah, they should be pepper sprayed and sent to jail too! And everyone that is pissed off, or wants to get pissed, too. Slammer time!

Can you hear the music now?

Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do?”

“We don't allow them the same line here.”

“Stop! Slammer time!”

“The "Texas Star" hibiscus grows well in my part of Florida too. I can get one through the nursery up the road. There's lots of drug useres in my neighborhood. I feel a prank coming on, he he he.”

“That's why I live in the country & hike solo.”

“Minutes earlier the officer and a colleague had been called to calm down a crowd who spotted a blue movie being shot in a Soho street.

But instead of sorting out the dispute then leaving, they decided to meet the stunning twins starring in the film.

The PCs—aged 30 and 34—talked their way into the crew's parked van and suddenly dropped their trousers.

And the two blondes, who had caused a stir by walking around the streets in micro-skirts, immediately accepted the invitation.

As they performed a sex act on the coppers, stunned crew secretly started the cameras rolling.

The men grinned at each other as one exclaimed: "This is perks of the job."

Full Story (Don't access from work)”

“Those guys don't really need a donut now, do they?”

“Those wild and crazy Brits!”

“Is there be a dumb cop thread?”

“That just sucks. Those officers should be prosecuted, but I don't know if the evidence would stand up in court.”

“It would be hard, prosecutor.”

“but the case would be revealing.”

“who know what sordid details would come out in cross.”

“I guess they'll just have to suck it up.”

“What's the movie called? Are they selling it on Ebay?”

“They drove this car around for a couple days before someone noticed the passenger side....seems it was done by a guy in the body shop just before he quit.”

“OK, so I rode my longboard to the dentist today, it's a 57" deck that is used for cruising/transportation. While going home I was riding the sidewalks and came to a corner of a street that takes me a mile to get to my house. There sitting at the redlight wanting to turn from the street I was heading to was a city policeman in his cruiser staring at me. At the spur of the moment and not even trying to be smart, just friendly as I usually am, I waved and smiled to him...and what do you think he did? The jerk just glared at me with mean eyes and didn't even acknowledge me with a return wave.

It figures!”

“Man everytime i have a run in with a cop they are never nice to me. Just because i am 19 they think they can treat me like #&%!$!!!

I hate them man and i like to see cops getting in trouble!!!
Ohh and props to the painter of that car what a STUD!!!”

“I think that's the problem. You hate them and act like it and you expect them to treat you with respect.

On the other hand, the car thing is a hoot.”

“steve - You are the victim of an urban legend.”

“The real story is better then what I was told...LOL

It was sent to me by a Sheriffs deputy too. I sent him the story on it.”

“Tampa, Florida - Tampa police officer Joseph Mazagwu has been arrested and charged with threatening to kill President George Bush when the President was here in July.

In Federal Court today, the U.S. Atty.’s office quoted Mazagwu’s conversation with a dry cleaning employee on July 15th. Mazagwu allegedly said he wanted nothing to do with protecting the President and went on to criticize the President’s policies in both Iraq and Africa. The conversation ended with Mazagwu allegedly saying that both the President and his father, former President Bush, should be shot.

He reportedly went on to say that if he had enough bullets, he’d shoot the President in the head himself.”

“oops.

Then again, where's the proof?”

“Port police chief accused of tossing beer can from squad car

Port Washington - When a driver tossed an empty 24-ounce can of beer out of his car window here a couple of weeks ago, an irritated witness wrote down the car's license plate number and called police from his cell phone.

The vehicle from which the beer can was thrown "looks like one of your police cars," the caller told police.

He was right. The beer can was tossed out the driver's side window of an unmarked Port Washington squad car being driven by Police Chief Ed Rudolph.

When confronted with the allegation, Rudolph said "that he may have done something like that," according to a report released Thursday by Ozaukee County Sheriff Maury Straub, who investigated the case.

Rudolph, police chief in Port Washington for 35 years, told investigators that he "may have drank a beer down at the lakefront" and that he "may have thrown it out" the window.
[...]
The witness also later told investigators that the squad car was traveling 15-20 mph and was "braking uphill, which seemed odd to me."
[...]”

“WAS REAL WASTED”

“Sounds like Chief Wiggums to me.”

“A Sunnyvale police officer has been arrested for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol with a slew of firearms and a dead pig in his truck, Assistant District Attorney Karyn Sinunu said today.

Lt. Douglas Michael Sims was pulled over by a California Highway Patrol officer shortly before midnight on Sept. 22 as he was traveling northbound on Highway 85 just south of Camden Avenue in San Jose, according to Sinunu.

She said the officer noticed Sims' black GMC truck weaving through traffic and initiated the stop, at which time Sims identified himself as a lieutenant with the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety.

Sims was allegedly uncooperative and refused to submit to field sobriety tests or acknowledge that he had been drinking.

The officer subsequently found eight firearms in the vehicle and a dead wild pig in the bed of the truck.

“Bizarre Racism Claims Surround High School Arrest

SPRINGDALE, Pa. -- A woman said borough police beat her teenage sons after arresting them at the Springdale-Wilkinsburg high school football game Friday night.

The boys, ages 14 and 16, were taken into custody after resisting attempts to eject them from Veterans Memorial Field for smoking, authorities said. They were released from Shuman Juvenile Detention Center late Monday morning.

At a rally outside the Springdale police station Sunday, the teens' mother, Jacqueline Jones, said her children had bruises on them and claimed police yelled racial epithets during the arrest.

I believe it was Chief (Joe) Naviglia, because he was screaming fairly loud, "I'm sick of you n***** kids coming to my town and ruining it and ruining virtually everything that goes on here,'" Jones said.

The woman said Naviglia was verbally abusive to her at the station.

"I said, 'I'm the boys' mother. Why do you have them and why was I not notified?'" Jones said. "He was sitting at a small desk and he said, 'Get her out of here. You're not coming in here. Go home, goodbye.'"

When police did allow Jones to see her boys, she said they were covered with bruises, and her 16-year-old told her that Naviglia's brother, Officer Mike Naviglia, had kissed him on the mouth and asked him, "Does that taste like racism?"

"He (Officer Naviglia) said, 'I kissed him to show him that I wasn't prejudiced,' and I said, 'You have no business kissing my son. Don't kiss him,'" Jones said.
