UK Riot Police Storm Quiet Birthday Party

At 4pm, a small, quiet 30th birthday barbecue was interrupted when the gazebo started “flapping wildly” to the sound of chopper blades, according to metro.co.uk. Riot police stormed Andrew Poole’s gathering, shutting it down, and forcing everyone to leave. After ruining the party, police will probably not reimburse Poole for the £800 he spent on the food and generator because “…the event had been advertised on the internet as an all-night party.”

FAIL!

Chicago Police parked in handicap spot.

I took this photo while I was in Chicago last month. It seems that the car is, indeed, handicapped, but the officer did not appear to be. I once got a $300 ticket in Chicago for parking on the curb down the block from a permit parking sign that was hidden by a tree, and I couldn’t fight it because I had to leave town. This officer probably got a BIG ticket for this, right?

Right!?
