Your daily metro

God I love metro.co.uk. I sincerely wish I worked there. Anyway, today they’ve given me the gift of one of the world’s greatest police-competency stories since that video of the DEA guy shooting himself hit the web. I can feel the schadenfreude bubbling up…

In a triumph of covert police work, undercover officers in North Carolina arrested another undercover officer from a different force after buying drugs off him. The entirely drug dealer-free drug deal occurred when undercover officers from the Statesville Police Department met a man interested in selling them some marijuana. The man was an undercover deputy from Iredell County Sheriff's Office. Statesville is the county seat of Iredell county. [Source: metro.co.uk]

What is there left to say? Southern cops are hilarious when they’re not hate-crimin’.
