Cops arrest each other

Monday, January 12, 2009
• Robbers threaten cashier with machete
• Crooks escape with $11,000
• Uniform cops arrest plainclothes policemen

Confused German cops arrested each other after armed robbers held up a liquor store and escaped with a bunch of cash.

Two crooks terrorised a female cashier with a machete at a Berlin bottle-o before running off with nearly $11,000.

During the robbery, the shop’s silent alarm went off and plainclothes officers soon arrived at the store, but they were arrested when uniformed police stormed in seconds later.

Manager of the liquor store Heinz Huber said, “The plainclothes cops tried to tell them who they were, but the uniformed police told them to keep quiet. "It was only when one of the uniformed officers recognised one of the plainclothes cops that they realised what had happened,” as reported on Ananova.

Embarrassed police have issued an apology over the mix-up and promised to buy each other a dozen donuts to make up for it.

Lol at the Dutch guy... This story is about Germany, no one needed your opinion so why don't you go back to your depressive hole of a country that no one cares about? And p.s. Kangaroos don't just walk around the streets. You are an idiot.
those bloody dumb germans
A supervisor on our worksite marched a young man to his vehicle told him to get in and shut up and drove him to the office to sack him for being idle. The embarressment started when the frightened young fellow finally blurted out to the pay clerk that he worked for a different contractor on the site. His real boss than wanted to sack him for leaving the worksite during work hours
Yes. Your Right. Only when you consider that a cop by definition is a member of a police force.
