As if the stereotype of the fat cop with a mouthful of donuts chasing a perp isn’t already deeply ingrained in American culture… now cops in Chicago are getting segways. For half a million you can get a hundred segways, with parts, and it seems like the trend is growing since the article claims that cops are a key market for the scooter.
Honestly, I think it’s a pretty good idea because it does let the police stand taller and cover more ground but I think it’d be funny to see a police officer on something I usually associate with nerds, i.e. myself.

When you schedule an appointment with one of the lovely ladies, you can also pick what they’ll wear when they cut your hair.

Peter Carlino is brilliant.
