Even the police can be SGs

Officers went to the PNC Bank in Montgomery Township, NJ after an alarm went off and they saw what they thought was at least one person through the windows of the bank, which had its blinds drawn. They sealed off the area, evacuated residents and then called the bank hoping to talk the person out of the bank.

After over an hour of bullhorns and phone calls the swat team stormed the bank. To their surprise the bank robber stood there stiff as cardboard because he was a life sized cardboard cut out. :dick:

OMG! Stupid police officers. Our police down here in Seal Beach were driving a new police cruiser on the sand. The cruiser got stuck and end up gunning the car. Yup, idiot officer could not get out of the car because he burried the car up to the lower windows. This happened 10 years ago. The life guards had to shovel the car out.

Reminds me of an anecdote I read in Reader's Digest years ago. A lady called the cops because she could hear a man's voice when she returned from a shopping trip. The officer arrived, crept into the apartment with gun drawn, following the sound of the voice.... Later the lady couldn't stop apologizing. The cop said, "You think you're embarrassed? I'm the one who pulled a gun on your clock radio!" :D:

Just think....

Anytime there is an accident (or fire), the cops (fire police)have been called, and they are directing traffic. . .

You can bet sure as ****, that the traffic back up will be worse than if they were not there at all.

. . .

Several years ago, there was a fatality on the main road coming out of my development. They had closed the road from a main intersection down to another development that you can cut through from interconnecting roads.

I get to the first "roadblock," tell the officer that I live down the road. "You'll have to go around." Okay, so I do. I get to the other side, and the other officer/firepolice (not sure who it was), says "You'll have to go around." I said, "Look, I already was on the other side, I live in that development there. The other officer told me to go this way. Do you think you people can make up your mind and let people who live down the developments in?"

...Uhhhhhhh..."I'll radio to the other guy and have him let you in."

I said, "Why don't you do that." (Of course, I had to go all the way back around. Plus I had a splitting headache.)

Common sense isn't high on their priority list.
