OK. So I know this probably belongs in the joke thread, but since it is LEO related... My son who is an officer in the PNW sent this to me. A little 'inter-agency' humor. :)
------------------------------------------------
An off duty police officer is at the zoo with his family, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
Without hesitating, the officer runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back, letting go of the girl. The officer carries her to her terrified parents, who through tears of joy, thank him endlessly.
A reporter has seen the whole scene, and addressing the biker, says: "Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've ever seen a man do in my entire life."
The officer answered, "Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted out of instinct. I am a police officer."
"Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's papers will have this on the first page. By the way, which department do you work for?"
"Seattle, the officer says proudly. "I have been a patrolman for 15 years."
The following morning the officer buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the first page, in bold headlines:
SEATTLE POLICE OFFICER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT WHILE IN CUSTODY AND STEALS HIS LUNCH
