A bit like the one in the news today -
"Mugger is killed while trying to rob policeman"
Aparrently the mugger went up to a policeman sitting in his squad car and asked him to hand over his watch. So the policeman shot him.
Sounds like a "Hamlet Cigars" advertisement (don't know if they still do those)
Assaltante é morto em confronto com a polícia em Caraúbas - Tribuna do Norte
Absolutely love that one!!!
Sounds more like a scene from Indiana Jones or Blazing Saddles!
Recently here a policeman was trying to arrest someone who was under an arrest warrant. The guy made a run for it so the policeman shot him. Actually saves a lot of money in both cases.
The problem with statistics on crime is that a lot of crime is not reported. Even in the UK your average man in the street still does not believe that crime is 'officially' dropping, because he is more aware of it, experiences and sees it more, and has access to multi media that makes him instantly aware of it, and much goes unreported. Or the government simply lies...
