Local News Can Be Fun

Ah, the joys of living in a smaller city. Little things make the front page of the paper:


Two city police officers have been placed on paid leave after police officials received photos of the officers surrounded by four women in what police officials call suggestive poses.

The photos show two uniformed officers in their patrol cars stopped at an intersection. Four women stand outside of one patrol car and have posed themselves in a manner that Police Chief Brent Cooper said the officers should have known might have happened.




"We're very embarrassed by this," Cooper said. "We're very disappointed our officers allowed themselves to get drawn into it."

I know two of the women in the photos, and they're both sweet, fun-loving, and intelligent ladies. Seems pretty harmless to me, but I guess the law enforcement bosses don't share my sense of humor. The two officers were reprimanded and suspended for one day; not a huge punishment, but still rather silly and unnecessary.
It does make the local newspaper more entertaining, though.

Good grief it's not like the boys in blue were watching porn on their dashboard computer or anything. We had that happen up here.
