14 Year old impersonates cop, patrols for hours

LAGOS (Reuters) – Police in Nigeria are holding a goat on suspicion of attempted armed robbery.

Vigilantes took the black and white beast to the police saying it was an armed robber who had used black magic to transform himself into a goat to escape arrest after trying to steal a Mazda 323.

"The group of vigilante men came to report that while they were on patrol they saw some hoodlums attempting to rob a car. They pursued them. However one of them escaped while the other turned into a goat," Kwara state police spokesman Tunde Mohammed told Reuters by telephone.

"We cannot confirm the story, but the goat is in our custody. We cannot base our information on something mystical. It is something that has to be proved scientifically, that a human being turned into a goat," he said.

Belief in witchcraft is widespread in parts of Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation. Residents came to the police station to see the goat, photographed in one national newspaper on its knees next to a pile of straw.

I think from here they should just keep his name on file for when he becomes 18 so they can hire him as an actual officer. The kids actually seems to want to be an officer. But yes the obvious lack of attention to some kid coming into the precinct is baffling.

CHICAGO (AP) - A 14-year-old aspiring police officer donned a uniform, walked into a Chicago police station and managed to get an assignment _ patroling in a squad car for five hours before he was detected, police said Sunday.
The boy did not have a gun, never issued any tickets and didn't drive the squad car, Deputy Superintendent Daniel Dugan said.

Assistant Superintendent James Jackson said the ruse was discovered only after the boy's patrol with an actual officer ended Saturday. Officers noticed his uniform lacked a star that is part of the regulation uniform.

Police said they were investigating how the deception went undetected for so long in what they described as a serious security breach. Police said disciplinary steps are possible pending the outcome of the investigation.

Police didn't identify the boy because of his age. He has been charged as a juvenile with impersonating an officer.

Dugan said the boy looks older than 14 and was motivated by a desire to be an officer, not malice or "ill intent."

The boy once took part in a Chicago program for youth interested in policing, so he would have been familiar with some procedures, perhaps helping him blend in, police spokeswoman Monique Bond said.

Pretty crazy

I was watching this on tv last night. They didn't want to say how the boy got the clothes or anything. To get a cops uniform, you need ID.

These are the same bastids that gave me a ticket because my license plate wasn't on the front of my car.

Chicago police = Fail and that includes my brother in law.

That's what they said on tv. There are plenty of CPD surplus stores around, but to buy the uniform, you need an ID that I assume they only issue cops. How was he rolling around with no gun. ANd on top of that, the cop he was with had no calls for 5 hours? In Chicago?
