Have you planned out what you're going to do to get yourself arrested?
In other foreign (to you) police news, apparently UK police fired their guns 7 times last year.
I assume an inquiry is to be held?
She told the paper that she would have intervened "even if she were naked".
Okay then. *fans self*
(I'd make a joke about going off to Stockholm to start my pickpocketing career but actually that hold she has him in looks really painful, I doubt it's worth it.)
I'm assuming Halfordismo will involve lots more of this sort of thing.
All of them, in total. In 'taking comments literally' mode. There are only about 5500 trained to carry
guns, though. So, one shot per ~800 person years.
However appealing disarming the police here, as Tim Burke advocates, would be, it'd be wildly unpopular and lead to a huge spike in gun sales and vigilantism.
Statistically, it's better than even odds I've shot at seven people this year.
MPD used to stand on the roof of one of the government buildings and shoot at the clock face on the tower of City Hall. Poignantly small potatoes nowadays, of course.

UNLESS we had the Swedish Bikini Team as our cops, in which case it would be super popular, and awesome.
"... and when the Swedish Bikini TeamPolice Force showed up, it got somewhat better."
Weird, my work blocked the link. (It blocks very little - this site never, so probably not keyword-based.)
That is weird. It's not explicit at all.
Meanwhile, in other "things sure are different in Scandinavia" news...
Tim Burke is comically stupid in his police related writings. Repeat his nonsense at your peril.
18: Woah. An international altitude potlatch.
Not really favored by the local indigenous community, per the penultimate paragraph, though, so "potlatch" may not be the best characterization.
18. Apparently can't be done because against the second amendment of the Norwegian constitution or some such.
FWIW I experienced some enlightened Europe today. Hooray!
Are you saying you took off your shirt?
22: The right to keep and bear tarns?
