The Most Honorable Cop in the Union

Honor is a big thing to us tasty boozers. This guy deserves a shout-out, and possible the Rock of the Week award.

KEWASKUM, Wis. -- It's not usually news when a police officer writes a ticket -- unless it's the chief and he gives the ticket to himself.

Village of Kewaskum Police Chief Richard Knoebel said he was driving to work when he became distracted by a truck stopping on one side of the street. He said he didn't see a school bus with its lights flashing and a stop sign out on the other side of the four-lane road.

The chief said he didn't know he had passed the stopped bus until it was too late. When he realized what he had done, he issued himself a $235 ticket.

"When we get someone for not stopping for a flashing school bus we give them a citation. So I shouldn't be any different so I did," Knoebel said.

Not only did the chief have to pay a hefty fine, he gave himself a four-point penalty on his license.

SPD Officer Fails the Driving Portion of the Driver's License Test

Seattle police Officer Sean O'Donnell walks past where a Seattle police cruiser came to rest halfway inside a sub shop after an accident early Wednesday morning. Firefighters had to cut open the car to get the officer out.

According to a Seattle Police Department spokesperson, "Among the factors being looked into are ... the medical conditions of ... the cyclist."

If anyone learns of a medical condition with symptoms that include the potentiality of a police officer running your ass over and slamming you into a Sub Shop while you're riding your bicycle, please let me know...I'd like to be vaccinated if possible.
