The Smoking Gun shares a great story about power going to a cop's head.
On April 29, Officer Patrick Shields discovered the partially clothed couple making out in a car parked on a dirt road in Pensacola, according to the below police internal affairs report. But instead of making an arrest or issuing a warning, Shields, 31, permitted the 16-year-old girl and her boyfriend, 19, to dodge trouble by removing their shirts and performing the unorthodox calisthenics while he watched.

The link actually has all five pages of the police report. If you know Pensacola, you'll know the general area where they were stopped. Does anybody who reads Junto Boys have an opinion about how we can hire cops that aren't motivated by the power?
