This is a chronicle of the the police work in a small Alaskan city.... and unintentionally some of the reports are hysterically wry in the way they are reported
have a look if you have a minute (below is a typical example)
"Assault – A drunk at the Harbor View Bar grabbed the buttocks of a man he mistook for someone else and when the butt-grabber offered to make amends by buying the grabbee a drink, the grabbee insisted he instead be paid $20 for the offense. A third person, attempting to intervene in the ensuing argument, was struck by the grabbee in the face and received a broken nose for his trouble. The third person pushed the grabbee to the ground, whereupon he began banging his head on a parking lot stop block in order to obtain some injuries to show police. No charges were filed.
My favourite tv reality cop Charlie Etheridge
I think the copper in Alaska used to write "Coppersblog" over here about 6 years ago. It used to be brilliant. My fave tv cop was actually on last night! Did you see him? He got a mention and was seen ragging a car thief out of the car (the thief was later shown sobbing in the back of the car!). My fave policeman was then shown going on to scoff a bacon butty. xxx

ReplyDeleteSorry John, I left a comment and then deleted it. We just had a police officer killed in the line of duty here in Ontario...so soon after having one shot just a few days ago. My remarks were out of context and I felt it best to delete them. My apologies.

There is a program on TV called State Troopers of Alaska, it has the same kind of incidents to deal with. Trivial to some, but when you have twenty four hours of darkness, I 'spect all kinds of things get on your nerves.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you John, police and nurses get my respect but only if they are good 'uns.

The example was funny, I do enjoy a good write up! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhen we lived in Alaska we used to get patients in the dental office where I worked that had been in fights--One man I've never forgotten broke his front tooth off because he bit someone's boot in a bar fight...
ReplyDeleteWhere the river is winding,
ReplyDeleteBig nuggets they're finding.
North to Alaska,
They're goin' North, the rush is on.
Yeee! Hah! Y'all!
I love small town news. When I moved to my area 37 years ago, the major story was about a pig farm. Unfortunately times have changed and not for the better.
ReplyDeleteWe could use a good butt grabber story now.
I doubt that Charlie from Road Wars is a butt-grabber. Too busy polishing his policeman's helmet for that!
ReplyDeleteI too enjoy the phrasing of the Unalaskan police writer xo
ReplyDeleteI love documentation. Once saw a Dr chart that a medication was given "intrafecally" Still makes me laugh
ReplyDeleteWhat else does one do in Alaska (other than go fishing)?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a typical 'night out' scene in Cardiff to me John.
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be another world out there about which I know nothing. Oh dear - I have led such a sheltered life!
ReplyDeleteCro- If you really want to know, hop over to Nan's blog! :-D

John I have not heard of this, but that particular policeman is a dish and I can see him getting a cult following ;-D
How embarrassing! Sounds a bit like some of the Queensland towns I have known
