Police Attitude

>
> How do you tell the difference between an English Police Officer, a Canadian Police Officer, an American Police Officer and a Scottish police officer?
>
> QUESTION: You're on duty by yourself (don't ask why, you just are, and your Sergeant hates you) walking on a deserted street late at night. Suddenly, an armed man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife and lunges at you. You are carrying your truncheon and are an expert in using it. However, you have only a split second to react before he reaches you. What do you do ?

> ANSWER:
>
> British Police Officer:
>
> Firstly, the Officer must consider the man's human rights.
>
> 1) Does the man look poor or oppressed ?
>
> 2) Is he newly arrived in this country and does not yet understand the law ?
>
> 3) Is this really a knife or a ceremonial dagger ?
>
> 4) Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack ?
>
> 5) Am I dressed provocatively ?
>
> 6) Could I run away ?
>
> 7) Could I possibly swing my truncheon and knock the knife out of his hand ?
>
> 8) Should I try and negotiate with him to discuss his wrong-doings ?
>
> 9) Why am I carrying a truncheon anyway and what kind of message does this send to society ?
>
> 10) Does he definitely want to kill me or would he be content just to wound me ?
>
> 11) If I were to grab his knees and hold on, would he still want to stab and
> kill me ?
>
> 12) If I raise my truncheon and he turns and runs away, do I get blamed if he falls over, knocks his head and kills himself ?
>
> 13) If I hurt him and lose the subsequent court case, does he have the
> opportunity to sue me, cost me my job, my credibility and the loss of my family home ?

I thought it was very funny Linden but over the past few months that I have been a member I have found it very hard work trying to make the mass's laugh.
But not to worry I just figure I am in an elite group of humorous members.
