A Good Arrest

Sunday's Press Democrat reported that a homeless man with a fake handgun and fake bullets was arrested yesterday in Old Courthouse Square. Officers approached him with guns drawn. The homeless man went for his fake automatic, but an officer knocked him off his bike, and the police took the fool into custody alive. They didn't shoot him. It took courage not to shoot first (just in case). That's my idea of excellent police work, deserving of good salaries and pensions.
