Brickbat: Show Me the Money

The San Diego Police Department seems to have misplaced $1 million in funds seized from drug runners and other accused criminals. After a local newspaper investigation found the funds weren't accounted for, police officials said they would seek an audit.

This story is from May. The City Auditor and City Comptroller separately investigated and both say the money had been misreported:

an associate management analyst from the SDPD made a error while typing in financial data into an electronic version of the report.

Incompetence? A face-saving explanation for dodginess? Either way, the Brickbat isn't just old, it's been superseded by later reports. Chuck, would it kill you to google?

Chuck, would it kill you to google?

Don't pick on his Google allergy. It's not common but a few semi-professional journalists a year go into anaphalaxis from exposure to search engines. It's only slightly less lethal than Power Point Poisoning.

Man, I had a terrible case of that last year. Felt like I would never get back to normal.

Didn't you get the news, being officially declared "Anti-science" by the Feelz brigade, no one here is permitted to use scientific notation.

Emphasis added. Probably just a typo, then.

Or maybe they successfully negotiated with Dr. Evil.

So this should be a triumphant story of the city being saved!!!

How are cops gonna make any money if they have to account for seized drug money?

Why do you hate cops and their wives and children, Charles?
