DumbCop.com Launches Web Site, Law Enforcement May Never Be The Same
New York, NY (PRWEB) November 8, 2007 -- Think you've seen it all? Think again. A new web site promises to tickle the funny bone and get your blood pumping at the same time. www.DumbCop.com is a new website dedicated to videos, photos and stories of of police officers doing some very funny, and sometimes not so funny things.
The site is the brainchild of Mark Smith and Rick Williams of New YorK City, and the pair says they know it will be controversial.
"Everything on our site is in the public domain, so it's not as if we're going out and trying to interfere with police. This stuff is out there, and we just thought to collect it," Smith says, "That being said, police are usually pretty sensitive to criticism, and I suppose our site isn't exactly complimentary."
Complimentary it's not, but Williams adds that they nevertheless expect to find a following among law enforcement personnel; "If I was a cop, I'd be all over it. The stuff that's funny should cause them to laugh at themselves, and the cops that get busted for doing bad things are hopefully guys they wouldn't want in their department".
The content ranges from the funny; a patrol officer being chased by a smitten wild turkey during a traffic stop (yes, really) to the shockingly funny; a video of an LAPD officer driving straight through a concrete wall (eliciting an audible "OOOOOhhhhh" from the news anchor narrating the chase). In both cases, the officers were unharmed.
However, it doesn't stop there. www,DumbCop.com has several videos of police officers losing control of their emotions, and the cameras don't shy away from the resulting brutality. Some of the videos can be hard to watch because of the abuse they show on what are mostly helpless subjects. In many of these cases the officer's employment was terminated once the videos came to light.
Smith and Williams are unrepentant, "If the police are going to break the law under the color of authority, they deserve every bad thing that happens to them as a result. However, it is important to note that ours is not an activist web site. We are not lobbying for anything. We are just showing viewers what is out there."
Smith and Williams say that their motivation is purely to have fun, and if a little social commentary happens in the process, that is fine with them.
The next item on the agenda is to present the Dumb Cop Of the Year award, or DeCOY as they call it. The DeCOY is going to be presented, in their words, in the spirit of the Darwin Awards, as an award of ignominious distinction. Dumbcop.com doesn't appear to be hurting for contenders.
Leading the way is Casselberry, FL police officer, Sgt. Andrea Eichhorn, who, according to reports, inexplicably decided to sue the parents of a nearly drowned baby after slipping on their wet floor while responding to their 911 call. Also high on the list is a Prince George, MD, officer who shot two furniture movers, killing one of them, and subsequently drew his gun on a property appraiser.
"Well, I guess you could say we're not exactly lacking contents," laughs Williams," Adding, on a serious note, that he feels particularly bad for the victim in the Maryland case, "Yeah, that was just every shade of wrong."
But will the Prince George officer be awarded Dumbcop.com's DeCOY? With almost two months to go, Smith and Williams say the race is still wide open, and new content arrives every day.
We decided to asked them if they have a particular favorite video or story, and we got the answer we should have expected at this point, "Well, you know, there are so many and they sort of become like your children, you love them all equally...... ," Williams managed to deadpan before bursting into laughter. "No, seriously, the one where the poor cop tries to rescue a lady from a house that isn't on fire, while the neighbor's house burns (rescue units were on the correct scene, but the lone officer and camera team were not) is wicked funny. I've probably watched it fifty times."
Smith adds that, among Dumbcop.com's offerings, the prison escapee that convinces a police officer that he is, in fact, a jogger, is a highlight.
Dumbcop.com's official launch date is November 8th, 2007, and both Smith and Williams are anxious to see how many kindred spirits are out there. As for their eponymous DeCOY award, the winner will be announced on January 1st, 2008.
www.DumbCop.com is a unique website dedicated to the funny, shocking, and sometimes awful behavior of police officers everywhere.
