Newsbreak: Goofing off gone bad
Great to know who we put our trust in, isn’t it? Officers Thomas Schind and Anthony Dawson of Cincinnati, Ohio have been suspended for “goofing off on the job” - more specifically, playing video games and watching TV.
Police said the officers ignored calls from dispatchers and stayed inside a substation, where they had been assigned to 60 days of foot patrol after they were issued a citation for not wearing their seat belts during a traffic accident.
Wow, I feel safe. Good to know that that while you’re getting mugged at gunpoint or carjacked or raped you can count on the “popo” to at least get all three magic whistles from Super Mario Bros. 3.
Cop 1: Shit, there’s a 245 over on Cass, that’s our beat!
Cop 2: Yeah, but dude, about to beat Iggy Koopa here….
Cop 1: But, it’s our job, ain’t it?
Cop 2: Let me ask you this, rookie…you ever seen a Tanooki suit?
Cop 1: Hell no I haven’t! (pause) They’ll be fine anyway, right?
Cop 2: Sure, and if there’s still trouble after we beat Bowser, we’ll go down and check it out. How’s that sound, champ?
Cop 1: You’re a great partner and an even better friend.
End scene.
