Not The Way To Arrest Someone
What the f**k do you want?
PC Desperate Dan,
— my tutor and I left our nightshift briefing and headed off to execute an arrest warrant. Dan was quite excited, the warrant was for Harry Haslem an old adversary of his.
We arrived at the home of Harry Haslem, a mid-terraced council house in the less salubrious part of town. The lights were off downstairs, but a light coming from the upstairs bedroom indicated there might be someone at home.
Dan marched up to the front door and banged loudly and repeatedly. He made his presence clear to anyone inside. After a moment the bedroom window opened, and Harry Haslem popped his head out. “What the fuck do you want!” he shouted.
Dan looked up, stepped back so he could see him better and tripped over a row of angled bricks sticking out of the ground that designated the separation between the path and the raised flowerbeds. Dan fell backwards and landed squarely on a rose bush flattening it completely.
“You’ve just destroyed my fucking rose bush!” shouted Harry Haslem with indignation.
Dan looked up from where he lay.
“You’re under arrest!” he shouted back.
“Fuck off!” was Harry’s response.
