A joke about the police do you really like it?

I was at home last week when I spotted 2 burglars in my garden shed.

I phoned the police and was told that no squad car could get to my house

for at least 20 minutes! I hung up and then 5 minutes later I rang back saying

"There is no need for the squad car now, I've shot them both"!!!

Within 2 minutes there were four squad cars and an fully armed response unit

outside, and they caught the burglars red handed!

When the chief came up to me he said "I thought you said you'd shot them"?

To which I replied..."And I thought you said there were no police in the area"!!!!!

A joke about the police do you really like it?
Like most jokes that go around it's the element of truth in it that makes it amusing.
Reply:Yeah!!



I like it!!

Reply:lol i like the joke but i hope ur not making fun of the police... its the dispatchers fault
Reply:Well, it is a joke, but I've heard it before. So you probably get some new material.



Anyways, police prioritize calls. Obviously in a shooting situation, police are going to be called away from other scenes (other burglaries, disturbances, ect).

Reply:i dont really like it :(
Reply:Rob .... the police have to PRIORITIZE their responses. Murder gets a high priority - garden shed burglars are low priority.
Reply:sad joke and you should at least get it right .... you can't burglarize a shed only a home or business so it would be called a larceny and no police don't respond lights and sirens for that. if you had anything of value inside, you would have common sense and lock it up. and to the idiot who said it was the dispatchers fault - if you think you can handle it - call your local dept and request an application.
Reply:Nice one, however.....



There are far less armed response cars than general beat cars and therefore any response time would be longer.



Nice try though.
Reply:not bad...
Reply:Very funny, but heard it before. Unfortunately it could ring true.
Reply:It is illegal to lie to police. It is not illegal for them to lie to you.



Also, they did not say there were no police in the area. They just said that there were none who could come. They might have been doing something more important that stopping a shed burglary, but less important than a shooting.
Reply:I like it = )
Reply:They probably had excess amount of armed police on that day with very little beat bobbies as there's no fun being a beat Bobbie!!
Reply:joke plenty good kemo saube
Reply:Old but still funny.
Reply:about right, unfortunately!
Reply:Funny - but true
Reply:Beatrice: You here to make fun of me too?

Kay: No, ma'am. We at the FBI (Police,DMV...etc) do not have a sense of humor we're aware of. May we come in?

Beatrice: Sure.



You'll dress only in attire specially sanctioned by special services. You'll conform to the identity we give you, eat where we tell you, live where we tell you. From now on you'll have no identifying marks of any kind. You'll not stand out in any way. Your entire image is crafted to leave no lasting memory with anyone you encounter. You're a rumor, recognizable only as deja vu and dismissed just as quickly. You don't exist; you were never even born. Anonymity is your name. Silence your native tongue. You're no longer part of the System. You're above the System. Over it. Beyond it. We're "them." We're "they."
