Warning! Warning! Alien spacecraft approaching!

Interesting. I thought most banks are now equipped with bulletproof, impenetrable shields that slam down and isolate anything of value in the event of a robbery. At least, the shields protect bank assets and employees, leaving citizens in the bank to fend for themselves.



As for the police: Well, most are not going to put themselves in harm's way, risking that early retirement we, ironically, give them for putting themselves in harm's way. They seldom get fired for anything, and if they do they're often reinstated. I remember a state trooper who was fired not so long ago for getting head in his patrol car, on duty, in uniform. If Clinton had been a member of the police union he would not have been impeached. The policeman was reinstated by an arbitrator who said the officer could have zipped his pants and responded to a call. It was funny, but kind of sad too.



A fairly common example of the shiftless, useless nature of most police is the woman who tried to turn herself in at the county jail. Rather than ask what she was wanted for, the police asked her where she was wanted, then told her to go over to the next county. As it happened, she was wanted for murder. Then there was the violent rapist who escaped from custody because the policeman was too fat to chase him. These stories are true and can be verified in the Oregonian newpaper archives.



I guess the authorities here are a bit better than Thailand. About five years ago Kirsti Jone, a twenty-two-year old tourist was raped and murdered in Chiang Mai. The Thai police accepted bribes from the newpaper to let them photograph the scene, corrupting evidence in the process. The prime suspect bribed/bailed out of jail and promptly fled the country. Today the crime remains unsolved despite Kirsti's parent's pleas.



The police, in many cases, will not protect you, and often will not let you protect yourself. Sometimes I think the Anarchists are right!

on a lighter note, that 3 wheeler is surely some kind of joke, isnt it ? This is a film set. Its a sharp witted comedy being filmed with The Office`s actors and writers, surely?

I wish it was a joke, but due to budget cuts many four wheeled vehicles have been cut back to three. Its true that they are not very intimidating and that the officers assigned to them sit in them looking like they have been punished by thier parents. Yes at first glance one would not take them seriously, but I assure you my friends that these vehicles pack a deadly punch when fully armed. The flexible top has brackets to accomodate a large array of modern weaponry ranging from the conventional to the nuclear.

It is not unsusal to see these vehicles patrolling our parks and playgrounds with plutonium tipped bunker busters angled high and glinting against our true blue skies.

I feel safer...don't you? DON'T YOU!!!!!

Oh yeah I forgot that they are also good for delivering mail.

They are pretty amusing despite the arms. I can see the thing rushing down the street with Porky NYPD Pig driving, taking a left and turning the thing on its side, unable to crawl out the high side of the overturned vehicle because he ate at Dunkin', then Baskin R's too much. The other officers try to help, but are also fat and out of shape. Then the gay muscle cops, and the macho bull dykes, shows up to help the trapped officer, but PBYPDP has become hoplessly lodged in the vehicle. The paramedics arrive and begin using various tools to free Porky, but accidentally set off some of the munitions in the vehicle, causing NY Piggy to suffer cardiac arrest...



I've met many police officers through the years who are truly dedicated to making society a better place. They are willing to take risks to help others and don't harass people using their own prejudices as a guide . Some police are good, but I think most derive perverse sexual thrills creating dominant positions they can think about while masturbating at domicoptrix.com.

these last 2 posts have made me laugh, I wonder if Bush has sold the 3 wheelers to Blair yet ? Maybe we will get them as a hidden special present for buying more Nuclear arms to update our current rusty arsenal.Mmind you, there are so many of the UK armed forces going awol, there may not be sufficient killers to unpack the Bush wrapping paper.I guess Blair could always use some of our so called `terrorists` who have been illegally detained, incarcerated without trial. give `em some much needed fresh air and exercise. In fact, I can see a Reality TV Show, a bit like Big Brother, potential here................Kai, of course I feel safer, just like I feel safer with having more weapons of mass destruction we have purchased from Uncle George. Yeah, evanid, I agree wholeheartedly with your last paragraph.........you sure that website is right ? I cant find it !!

I made it up, but then checked thinking: Could be? Might be an idea for a site where the imaginary webmaster is a retired '90's LAPD Ramparts Division officer hosting a site where other officers from all over the world masturbate vigorously to images of people in helpless, hapless submissive positions wearing handcuffs, shackles - behind bars. I once went to a yard sale where I noted odd instruments of torment with a sexaul flavor scattered amongst other things on the tables.. I began speaking with the woman having the sale and it turns out she had been working as a cop. It's a well known fact (in my mind) that police officers routinely use constraints on their spouses, then sit on them reading passages from Revelations

what an image, you could plan your bank raids and civil unrest very sneakily by having such scenes taking place while you get on with your criminality, thereby `disabling` the police, who would be helpless !!
