And you think YOU had a bad day!

Tucson man runs himself over while fleeing traffic stop

Hmm, left his car behind AND ran over himself. I don't figure him on having a long (or successful) criminal career.

P'rolly 'cause the police were laughing too hard to chase him or they figured he'd do himself in in his next escape attempt!

A few days ago it was reported that a cop stopped a car with some teenagers in it, to cite them for speeding.

And there was an open box of fresh pizza on the back seat of their car.

What happened, was that when they were not looking, the cop took out his canister of pepper spray and shot the pizza with the pepper spray.

VERY funny for the cop.

Not so funny for the teenagers who after trying to eat a slice, all had to go to the hospital, being SERIOUSLY ill as a result of this.


The cop (as usual) then gets put on "paid administrative leave".

This typically means he gets salary for not working for awhile and gets to go to the Police psychiatrists and tell them how he "feels" about the incident.

And the next day, at morning muster, I am sure the rest of the cops about to go on shift, had a good laugh over this one, too.

Where is the connection between a deliberate malicious act and seeing the humor in a criminal's ineptitude?

"After the tire ran over the man’s torso, he got up and fled on foot."

Darwin Award, hell. I'd give him the Chuck Norris Award! That is one tough muther.

Black/gallows humor can help to relieve the stress of a daily unremitting job of tedious boredom relieved by adrenaline rushes of terror you get from time to time.

EVERY LEO out on patrol knows that.

~~~
Joseph Wambaugh, a retired Los Angeles Police Sergeant wrote a number of fictional books about LA cops, but his anecdotes are almost all truth-based.. In one of them - "The Blue Knight" I believe it was - several officers are working a horrific car accident. One of the cops at the scene checks the cars going by until he sees the "perfect one" A station wagon full of a family of tourists, with a license plate from Nebraska or somewhere far away, and suitcases of luggage strapped to the roof, people that would never have a the time or inclination to file a formal complaint against the LAPD. As this "perfect" car finally creeps past him, a pleasant middle aged Midwestern woman in the front passenger seat buzzes down her window, and asks, "Is everthing ok, officer? Was anybody seriously hurt?". The officer holds up a severed human head by its hair, in front of her and and says "Well, this one's banged up a little."
