Well done

Dear America;

Do us all a favor and castrate yourselves now.

Sincerely,

The Rest of the World.

I guess that's why all the beavers are nervous

Ok, read the article, was sorely disappointed.

LiteWerk		2007-11-28 02:25:24 PM

So the guy decided to live out his fantasy of being like a real cop. Was anyone hurt? Don't think so. He is paying a stiff price for his stupidity now, too.

Fluid		2007-11-28 02:25:56 PM

Don't wave with a gun. It's not a sword. Unless you're out of bullets, of course.

What if you have a bayonet? I gotta ask Miss Manners about that one.

FTFA:

Fred Harran, Bensalem's public safety director, said if an unmarked car attempts to pull over someone, the driver should put his hazard lights on and drive to the nearest police station. If the driver doesn't know where one is, he or she should go to a convenience store or a place with people around. A real cop will follow you in and have plenty of marked backup cars with him at that point, Harran said.

What he fails to mention is that at this point you will be arrested for failing to stop. No-win situation.

danlpoon		2007-11-28 02:31:42 PM

Most people this crazy are actual cops. I guess they missed one.

Cops need "back-up" for everything. The Fife-ization of our police force is nearly complete.

damiangerous		2007-11-28 02:37:09 PM

FTA:

Harry V. Hackert allegedly did what no real cop would ever do: He used his Ford Explorer rigged with lights and sirens to pull over someone and then waved a loaded gun in the driver's face while screaming.

Is there an episode of COPS where they don't do that?

With a name like that, there is no doubt.

Everyday I read American ~~new~~ news, is one more day I'm glad that I live in Canada.

1) At least we know how to use proper noun tense.

2) Last I checked, Canada was part of America as well. We're the U.S. of A. Farktard.

You FAIL

No, it's not jingoism. When someone tells me I need to castrate myself, I get an urge to point out their own idiocy to them. His high and mighty "Canada's so much better" attitude demonstrates more jingoism than what I said. You fail as well.

I would imagine they could get this guy on more than just impersonating an officer since he was brandishing a firearm.

You're right. Canada is located on the continent of Arctica.

"Fred Harran, Bensalem's public safety director, said if an unmarked car attempts to pull over someone, the driver should put his hazard lights on and drive to the nearest police station." ....and when it turns out to be a real cop, prepare to have your tires flattened by spike strips and your ass tazed for not stopping.

In your case it's not 'idiocy', it would be 'doing the world a favour.'

snake822		2007-11-28 03:14:48 PM

albo:explain this bit of nuttiness:

If it must be spelled out for you. Our nation is not America. North America is the continent our nation, the United States of America, is part of along with Canada and Mexico. So Canadian news would also be American news.

Yeah, let's all jump on the guy that took offense to being told to castrate himself. Not the ignorant Canook that said it.

snake822: Our nation is not America. North America is the continent our nation, the United States of America, is part of along with Canada and Mexico.

the continent is north america. we can and do properly call ourself "america" because we are "the united states of america."

just like "the republic of france" and "the united kingdom of Great Britain"

albo:In your case it's not 'idiocy', it would be 'doing the world a favour.'

Yet you still refuse to see that a Canadian telling people of another nation to castrate themselves because we're not as good as Canda is more jingoistic?!?! your preferred spelling of favour vs favor leads me to believe you are most likely Candian or Brittish yourself.

There's a fish called a remora. It makes its living as near to a shark's mouth as it can get. It has no other defense mechanism.

Kinda like the Canada of the oceanic world.

Hey, I have an Explorer! This gives me an idea!

krackpipe		2007-11-28 04:13:52 PM

This brings up another idea. What if another policeman had arrested the policeman who was arresting the security guard? "Police police", I like the idea.

Hackert made a genuine effort to look like a cop. Besides the lights and sirens, he had a fake badge that appeared to be issued by the Philadelphia Police Department. It even had a strip of black tape across it to look like the bands police stretch across their badges to signify the death of a police officer, police said.

Two red flags were raised regarding Hacker, police said. He wasn't wearing a uniform and his car was not marked with any writing that indicated he was a cop.

Me-thinks his effort was not as genuine as they make it sound....

I just can't believe that so many of you are spelling America correctly.

HAMMERTOE		2007-11-28 04:27:47 PM

I'm waiting to see the result of the Florida State Trooper Demolition Derby.

How many possible outcomes are there in this situation?

A) LEO charged with 2 counts of Killing a Police Officer, as well as Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony.

B) Deceased LEO's posthumously charged with Obstructing a Police Officer, as well as Walking to create a Hazzard.
