Seattle Police Department to Hand Out Free Doritos at Hempfest

Don't believe me? Just read the news for yourself.

As the Seattle PD's Twitter feed says (in response to some flack): "Please ignore maliciously false reports that we're giving out Bugles at @seattlehempfest. We would never, ever do that."

At least this department has a sense of humor. The LAPD tends to hand out very different things (rather than Doritos)...

If the drug raid isn't successful, then just play Wii Bowling...

Kin Chan told me about this as we were driving home from lunch a little while ago, and the video is indeed awesome: Some police officers were caught by surveillance cameras playing Wii Bowling after an unsuccessful drug raid. Wow... Just wow.

I am simultaneously highly amused by the video and appalled at what these officers did while on the job.

Oxford Police at Play

As reported on Boing Boing, Oxford cops have been reprimanded for tobagging on riot shields. I am officially amused. :)

Tax Dollars at Work

Courtesy Yalda Sharif, here is a brief (roughly 45 second) news report that is both "awesome" and awesome. (I couldn't find a non-Facebook link for this video, so if somebody has one that I can post here so that I can pass that along, that would be great.)
