Kids, Don't Try This At Home
Remember in grade school when cops would come visit your class to talk about drugs, guns and crime prevention? Well, the following clip brings new meaning to the term gun safety.
Remember this policeman's words: "I'm the only one in this room professional enough that I know of who carries a Glock 40".

holy crap! that is awesome.
cops wanna come and snatch my crops.

I don't know if you have Yardies in the US but I have to wander how a police officer can get away with hair like that, are there not codes of appearance for US police?

OMG...
was that for real? I see you filed it under humour but it looked real.

Gretchen--As far as I know it is real. I found it off ebaumsworld.com which has all "real TV" style video clips. I filed it in humor because, well, I guess I have a sick sense of humor.
Alchemist--My only guess is that the cop is an undercover officer, so he would fit well into an urban area.

I heard that American police forces were turning down new recruits who had IQs higher than 105. That video seems to add weight to that story. Horrifying.

Okay now, that's just wrong. Because I was lookign at that at work, see? And then I was stunned for a moment, but then I almost fell out of my chair laughing, see? So then I had to explain to people why I was laughing, see? And that ain't right. You need to warn people that they will fall out of their chairs from laughing, see?
