Policemen Are Criminals, Too!
FOUND by Lori Flowers
in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
I found this stuck to a window on the fifth floor of the Rutherford Library on the University of Alberta campus. It's written on a post-it note. It kinda makes me wonder what exactly the campus 5-0 did to whomever wrote this.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
this is weird, i just watched my neighbors get arrested.
Such passive aggressiveness in his subversiveness for government employees.Daddy would get mad if he knew you took his post-its.
It's a police man's confession and suicide note, stuck to the window just before he threw himself out!!!
Well, if it was stuck to the OUTside of the 5th floor window, maybe the campus police plucked a would-be Spiderman (or cat burglar) off the building. You all know what valuable things there are in libraries, don't you??
Some are.
Typically lawyers don't like police.
Oh yes, they are fun lovin' criminals.
...er..huh..harumph...I have nothing for this one...
Police department motto:
Serve and Collect
...and musicians, and sports fans, and wives, and overweight, and intellectual, etc.
I need a nap.
"..Where every cop is a criminal..
and all the sinners saints.."
What about police WOMEN? Are any of them criminals?
World leaders are criminals too.
I don't know about criminals but I've known a few who make poor decisions...I was nearly hit by one when I was six.

bad link, mona. Try tinyurl.com. It really works! (and now, you're soaking in it.)
@Librarian--I think the valuable things to which you are referring would be...wait for it...LIBRARIANS!
And also books.
thieves straight as an arrow and crooked redneck cops....
@madge: thanks for the Palmolive flashback. Reminds me of a gentler time gone by.
Found on the 5th floor of a university library? Maybe that particular floor is where they keep all the journals/reports of past forensic reports. The person who wrote this was reading some criminal/detective/forensic reports and came to this conclusion.
Just a guess, anyway.
last time I was drunk I almost spit on a hummer, and my friend didn't want me to, so instead I spit at a passing cop car and yelled "pigs." Good thing they didn't hear or I would have been in the drunk tank for sure.
But I agree, they are human, not superheroes. Which makes them fallible, though they prefer not to think about it that way.
Arrest the police!!
Yes, there are good and bad cops just as there are good and bad people in every walk of life. However, the bad cops often receive protection by the system and THAT is what is an outrage.
is it just me, or does 'spit on a Hummer' sound dirty?
Thanks Madge. If i did know how to use tiny url, it wouldnt even make a difference, cuz that site is blocked from my work email. I was just trying to get you foundesians to look at the abe books site, where there is an article about things that used booksellers have found in books.
you can get to the link by going to
bookninja.com
I bet the kid who wrote this was covered head to toe in Mumia Abu Jamal patches.
Flargy, enlighten me, please, so that I can get a better mental picture of what you're talking about. (It's bound to be funny)

there you go, mlm... this link should take you to a site where you can order "free Mumia Abu Jamal" stickers. (or at least see what one might look like.) If you look around, I'm sure they have patches, too.
For a minute there, I thought they were OFFERING "free stickers!" but no.

And there's a link where you can read all about the who, what, when, where, why and how.
I think some wiseguy found this post-it with the words "Policemen are" and decided to finish the sentence and post his joke on the window. (It looks like 2 different handwritings.)
@Not signing in today: good one!
The exclamation mark made me think that the author was somehow surprised by the new-found understanding. Where I'm originally from, authority figures were the most repressive in our history, so this statement is kind of a given.
Hey, Night: gotta love the Windy City!
most police are criminals, whether it's actually committing the crime or covering for their buddies.
@Mona-
That link is also on USA Today's Pop Candy blog for today. I read it and it is very cool!! Forty $1000.00 bills?? How lucky is that person??!!
very true...
truth...
there is a fine line between a cop and a criminal.
