Coming soon to a TV screen near you: “Cop Bar”. I found dis trailer starring Sporanos actor Dan “Patsy Parisi” Grimaldi for a show that’s billed as a “cross between Barney Miller and Cheers”. They’re casting in Chicago for it right now.

I just don’t know if dey repeat the name of the show enough inna trailer or the song. Or on the girls’ asses.

Takin’ a look at the comments, and it’s pretty obvious dat dere’s gonna be trouble. Not because of any cops, of course. Nah.

Florida Sheriff Taking Heat For Using Uniform On Podium

Officer Bob — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 15:54:45 +0000

LEE COUNTY, FLORIDA: Wasn’t I just talkin about dis? Now da feds are all up in arms about it. My god, don’t they have enough ta do with a terrorist about to get elected to da White House?

A complaint sent to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel alleges that Scott violated the Hatch Act because his agency receives federal dollars, and Scott was engaging in political activity while on duty and in uniform. Erica S. Hamrick, senior attorney for the agency, said in an e-mail Tuesday that an investigation was being opened. Neither she nor her office could be reached for further comment Tuesday.

…

Some also are questioning whether Scott violated the county code of ethics. The statute says no county government employees are allowed to wear any uniform or clothing that would identify them as such while engaging in a political campaign not sponsored by the county, even if they are off-duty. But the sheriff, according to Sgt. Larry King, is not considered an employee of the county — he is an elected official. His budget is approved by the county, but he answers to the governor and to his constituents.

Commissioner Tammy Hall said her office, too, received several calls about the matter, many from out-of-state. Hall said several of the people may not have been aware that the commissioners do not oversee the sheriff. She reiterated, though, that her office has a good working relationship with Scott and she backed his integrity.

Still, other local officials were outspoken against Scott’s choice of words. Lyle Olson, executive committee member for the Democratic Party of Lee County said the action showed “totally poor judgment.”

“It was meant to incite anti-Obama feelings,” Olson said. “Then he tries to claim it was his personal opinion, yet he was standing there in his uniform.”

Uniformed Officer Takes The Podium At A Florida Political Event

Officer Bob — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 18:03:06 +0000

FLORIDA: Some countries frown on the practice of law enforcement or military officers in uniform making political statements. Dats’ because those places are run by a buncha latte-sippin’ book-readin’ liberals who don’t know what’s good for ‘em. Down in Florida, Sheriff Mike Scott knows what’s what all right and he ain’t afraid to say it in uniform. Hey, if you don’t believe me that people love it when guys in uniform get up and give political speeches then I’m afraid you don’t know your German history.

The Long Leg Of The Law In Seattle

Officer Bob — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 18:10:02 +0000

SEATTLE – Can’t tell when this clip was shot, but it does have a couple of grunge refugees in it, so I figure it’s recent. My favorite part is the very end when the female officer stands to block the camera. Nice work – nobody needs to see us kneel on a guy’s head, do they?

LAPD ‘07: Immigrants “Rights” In The Park

Officer Bob — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 15:56:45 +0000

LOS ANGELES – The way I figure it, it can’t be that surprising to new arrivals to this country the way things work: the cops own the streets, the parks and everything under the sun, and the people own the right to get the hell out of the cops’ way when the cop says so. Easy. Sure, sometimes we gotta use a helicopter to get our point across, but that’s the US of A for ya: a big production of a simple story.

Denver 2008: Protestors Seen, Then Herd(ed)

Officer Bob — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 15:53:07 +0000

DEVNER – Don’t let it be said that the Republical convention in Minneapolis got all the good policin’ – we did a pretty decent job herding the hippies in Denver too. In this clip, check out how we handle “free speech” the exact same way the Marlboro man and his cowpoke buddies handle a herd of cattle. Then again , the comparison is an insult to cattle: you can’t make delicious hamburgers out of useless hippies. Move ‘em out!

Yeah, Lemme Get You That Complaint Form Right Away

Officer Bob — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 15:48:21 +0000

INDEPENDENCE, MO – Look, we cops have had enough of you smart guys and your reading skills. Everybody knows that the procedures for complaining about the local police are only published so we can say they’re published. It’s not like we’re gonna follow ‘em. As if!

If you got a beef with the local PD, and the local PD isn’t tripping over themselves getting you the forms you need to register your “complaint”, the right thing to do is just walk away and forget about it. Unless you wanna get hauled in like this guy. Class dismissed.

Stark Choice In Stark County

Officer Bob — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 15:45:02 +0000

STARK COUNTY, OH – If you’re a victim of a crime in Ohio, you gotta make sure that when the cops show up, you don’t let them get it into their heads that you might be the perpetrator. Because if that happens, it’s a one way ticket to a party in a cell with a bunch of officers that’s gonna leave you buck naked and screaming, Abu Ghraib style. No, really.
