(A follow up to the Mad Pig Disease one...)
| WHAT IS SAID | WHAT IS MEANT |
|---|---|
While on routine patrol... | I was in the car because the coffee shop was closed. |
| The motorist was operating his vehicle in a reckless manner... | He had a bumper sticker that said "SLOW DOWN--DON'T FEED THE PIGS" |
The accident scene and the safety of the victims prevented this officer from doing traffic control. | It was raining. |
This officer went out-of-service to obtain intelligence information from a street informant. | It was too hot to ride in the car. |
I observed the suspect acting in a suspicious manner.. | The dirt-bag let go with an 'Oink' as I walked by. |
Knowing the suspect had a criminal history... | He puked on my uniform one night... |
The informant is of known credibility and has provided reliable information in the past... | I've got two theft cases hanging over his head... |
While being arrested, this subject resisted being injured in the act... | He ripped my shirt and broke my new mirror sunglasses... |
The motorist was cited for multiple traffic violations... | I wrote him one citation for each swear-word he used... |
Upon announcing my title and purpose I heard a voice from inside the house say 'Come in' so this writer entered through the door. | The rock music was so loud they wouldn't have heard Patton's army so I kicked in the door. |
The members of the press at the scene were offered every courtesy within departmental policies... | I sent them to a non-existent address which I called the 'Command Post' |
I gave the motorist a verbal warning for speeding... | She was a good-looking blonde who owned a liquor store and who was free after my shift was over. |
The Chief appeared at the scene and took command. | I sent him to the same address as the reporters. |
Further interview of the witnesses was impossible, due to conditions. | Tonight is my bowling night... |
The motorist's eyes were glassy, he had slurred speech, was unsteady on his feet, and smelled strongly of alcohol. | He was howling at the moon and trying to drive the car from the back seat. |
Using only enough force to restrain the subject... | My favorite song is 'Drop kick me Jesus Through the Goal Post of Life'. |
The defendant asked this officer's advice on how to act before the judge at his arraignment... | I told him he didn't have the balls to call the judge the same name he called me. |
