Brickbat: Funny Papers
Police in Wiltshire, England, have apologized after it was revealed an officer told a newsstand owner to give him information on people who bought the "survivors" issue of Charlie Hebdo, asking for the names of four customers. In a statement, the department said the officer will face no disciplinary measures, but the department did delete the information from their systems.

Yes, of ?course? they deleted it.
“Strangely enough officer, they were all named ‘Charles’.”
Since the NSA still has that information, there’s little harm in deleting it.

If the guys he was asking about were in white dresses and muttering something something akbar his inquiry might be legit. But, it’s England, so I doubt that is the case.
This is England. The cop was in a white dress and muttering something akbar.
“Whats all this then, akbar!”
I am not seeing it Fist. I don’t think the cops are the ones saying that.
It is far more likely that the newsstand and owner will be used for target practice by someone angry that they sold the Charlie Hebdo magazines.
It’s above the cops on the street, but I wouldn’t be surprised if local politicians were using the police to harass this guy.
“Your wife – does she like photography? CANDID photography? I’ll bet she does, I’ll bet she does! Say no more!”
OT: This quote is so good that I’m not even sure I believe it. I’m not familiar with the web site.
Jason McClanahan, spokesperson for the California Department of Public Health, had the following to say, “Really the so-called ‘Fat Tax’ is long overdue. The strain of obese people on the healthcare system is substantial and it is unfair for those of us of a normal, healthy weight to foot the bill for those who are unable to properly care for themselves.

Bogus article. Complete fabrication. Disregard.
My impression is also that it’s a satirical website. Scan the article on the Juggalos for further context:

I’m not impressed with the effort.
It’s satire. The comments sections are where the real gold is mined. Pretty decent trolling by National Report.
They should have gone with 3.2% at the start of the article to riff on 3.2% beer. Ah well.
Can we have a smug tax instead? We can probably measure self-rightiousness in multiples of megafausts.
*hubris not self-rightiousness. I ended up with a blend of two different snarks in that post.
That cop was probably a SOCON with no college degree.
Just sayin’…
Being a UKIP Voter on the Force in the UK isn’t healthy.
Brits can use the Force??!?!
Man, Jedi cops…go figure!
There are a large number of jedi on the UK census.
Good God, please stop. I am so tired of Bo’s shit spread on nearly every thread. Do you collect dog shit from the park and rub it into your living room carpet, Almanian?
Maybe…
I see Roger’s butt hurts, too.
Good to know.
Prolly doesn’t have a college degree…
Sounds like they know what the deal is.
