09 May 09 London: Metropolitan Police Officers Interview
A policeman seeking to join the London Met’s Firearms Department, is being interviewed.
The Commander doing the interview says: "Your qualifications look good, but there is an attitude suitability test that you must take before you can be accepted."
Then, sliding a loaded service pistol across the desk, he says: "Take this pistol and go out and shoot twenty illegal immigrants, six drug dealers, sixty Muslim extremists, and a rabbit."
" Why the rabbit?"
"Great attitude", says the Commander. "When can you start?"
