I am not a fan of physically punishing someone — lest they killed, raped a dog, tore up something as culturally significant as the Mona Lisa.
That's all, folks!
But there are exceptions proving the rule, and one of mine just became one Mr. James Cousins II. This sorry excuse for a human being is a cop. Yep, another one.
This gem of a boy in blue happens to be one of Erie, Pennsylvania’s finest, and he was caught on some intrepid web reporter’s video cam making disgusting jokes about a murder victim. Apparently Officer Cousins loves him some puns, and when a homicide victim is shot in the head under a sign reading “take it to the head”, it is SO funny. And the reactions of the victim’s bereaved mom? Ha, it is a laugh a minute!
Of course, there are extenuating circumstances. The victim had prior convictions and was in the possession of drug paraphernalia when he was shot. And Officer Cousins was drunk when making those statements. So far be it for me to ask for his head on a stick. No, I will be satisfied with a good old-fashioned flogging — followed by a mandatory shtick as a comedian before a very tough crowd. Too bad Alcatraz and Sing-Sing aren’t currently in use, but I am sure Rikers Island should have an auditorium or two available for our budding funnyman.
I hope that Mr. Cousins will soon be out of a job – and being the good Samaritans that we are, shouldn’t we help him get one better fitting his natural inclinations and fine sense of humor?
