BAD COP – NO DONUT
By Jim Foster
If this story weren’t so sad, it would be funny.
OK folks, I will admit I don’t have much regard for most law enforcement people, starting with the Feds and working downhill.
The people hired and paid by “the people” leave a lot to be desired. It does seem most are self-serving nerds who have been given some little power and can't wait to use it. Most of these “headline wannabes” seem to fit the pattern of those who ran amuck in Waco and Ruby Ridge. The words “Protect and Serve” written on police cars are just that, words.
The use of tasers has been the topic of at least one of my BLOG articles in the past. These things kill people, the lady in the airport for example. Six large policemen couldn’t subdue a medium sized lady so they tasered her and she died. And, the death of a teen-aged boy caused by the subject of this article, the Warren police, happened only a short time before. Now the Warren police and tasers are back in the news.
The Warren “donut boys” have tasered the most deadly of all creatures – a black cougar. Never mind if it was a stuffed toy.
The lead paragraph in the Macomb Daily News read; “Warren police fired a stun-gun at a large cat that officers believed was a panther but turned out to be a stuffed animal, the department's top official confirmed Thursday.”
The protectors of the citizenry saw what looked like the outline of a panther-like animal lying in the pipe. In the article Police Commissioner Dwyer is quoted to say, “ it was looking out at them…” “So, they backed out in fear it would lunge at them.”
After nearly an hour after the police arrived and after several peeks into the pipe they decided the beast should be tasered.
So what was this most dangerous of beasts? It was no more than a black, stuffed toy panther.
So what’s the Bubba rule? If you THINK it will resist SHOOT IT.
I’ll bet these Barney Fife types like sprinkles on their donuts.
