Also, I'm surprised Syt hasn't posted this story, involving the Pirates, a stripper/pr0n star, a Pittsburgh police sergeant, and a unicorn mask.

Not really that weird of a story.  Just if a porn star tries to take a picture with you, and you are a cop, run away.

The unicorn mask thing is odd to me, but I don't see why people are talking about punishing the cop.  Everyone knows how uptight I usually am, but FFS people lighten up.

Getting his picture taken with a unicorn mask on his head?  The sergeant stripes on his uniform mean he should know better.

Ah, the good ole' 'murican pasttime.

Why is that such a horrible thing?  I think it shows that cops can have a sense of humor.

Yeah, most of my Puerto Rican friends have been flipping the hell out about this on Facebook.

One good thing about the Internet is that it makes the idiots a lot more visible.

Apparently a few of those twitter accounts have already been deleted.

It's a horrible thing for the command staff, which isn't known for its sense of humor.

We had an extended barricade situation once, we're blocking off the street and taking cover behind our cars while this guy is taking shots out the window;  while we waited for TAC to arrive, a Major shows up, wanting to know why we weren't wearing our hats and demanded we put them on.

So yeah, it's a very horrible thing.

I shouldn't be surprised, but I can't believe what people post on Twitter, Facebook, news article discussion threads, etc. these days with their (apparently) real name and picture right beside it.

The Zimmerman verdict seems to have brought things to new lows, on both sides of the issue.

  Okay, I get it.

For added stupidity, this is a carbon copy repeat of what happened with that kid who sang the anthem at the Spurs game during the finals.

Anytime a non-white person does anything the KKK crowd on twitter flips out.

Yeah.  I think we should only have Latinos sing the national anthem from now on just so these people will keep outting themselves.
