To lighten the mood a little bit.. a story I stole from a police officer forum I read..
Quote:
I went to a call wherein some kids were breaking the windows out of a house. I figure the usual, some bored teenagers out breaking things. When I get there it's this pair of third graders throwing rocks at the windows. When they see me they take off running so I call it like you would call a foot pursuit from a murder scene. "Central, two white male third graders running eastbound. One wearing a blue Spiderman shirt second in a red Elmo shirt. Both subjects approximately 3 feet 45 pounds" The kids basically run around behind the house and hide in a little fenced off area. The dispatcher's playing along asking if I want air support or a K9.
Now I can hardly breathe cause I'm laughing so hard but I see them go into the little gate to hide. As I walk up I can here one say to the other, "My mom's gonna be mad". The other one assures the first one that they're "hid good."
So I go in and get Spidey and Elmo, my fleeing felons, and start walking back to the car. I key up the radio and tell central I have two in custody, one down by TASER. Dead silence on the radio until my boss gets on the radio and, with panic in his voice asks,"you're kidding right?"

Cops are (funny) people too.
