Forence A. Turner, 32, of Newark, suffered a gunshot wound to the foot

Ya think he shot HIMSELF?

[MineralMan]

Yeah, but why didn't all the on-duty cops in the donut shop get involved?

[Dane]

Sheesh even a Libertarian would know not to rob a donut shop. After all, that's where the cops are 24/7 according to the Libertarians on FR.

Hey, you know you can't interupt a cop eating donuts

Memo to self: Never attempt to knock over a place populated by cops hyped up on sugar.

[mattdono]

Ummmm...Donuts....

Dunkin Donuts? I could understand Krispy Kreme ...

On a serious note, I wonder how many New York and New Jersey Freepers have noticed the dramatic increase in shooting incidents in the New York City region over the last year or so.

At first I thought it was simply a case of an anti-gun media focusing so much attention on these incidents, but I've recently learned that this is a direct result of the decision by the state of New Jersey to stop any random vehicle stops on the New Jersey Turnpike by the NJ State Police.

That does it! Pull all troops police out of Newark NOW!

[StolarStorm]

Nah. Cops spend most of their time attempting to fill their revenue qoutas. It's sad that cops have been turned into tax (fines, traffic tickets, etc.) collectors for local governments.

The last time I was almost-mugged in Brooklyn I walked straight for the Dunkin Donuts a half-block away. Sure enough, there were two cops inside. The precinct was two blocks the other way, but I wanted a cop quick...

I feel bad for the shop after a shootout like that. I bet all their merchandise is full of holes!

I was in a donut shop in Charleston, SC in 1988, with my then-girlfriend.

There must've been over two dozen cops in the place, doing change-of-shift paperwork. The lot was 100% cruisers--we had to park out on the street.

This crackhead wanders in, draws the pistol, fires one round into the ceiling and says, "THIS IS A STICK--"

He was dead before he hit the floor.

Forence A. Turner, >

Forence? Uh, never mind...

Robbing a doughnought shop is metaphorically shooting yourself in the foot.

By the way, isn't going to a doughnought shop automatic overtime for a cop?

[Kozak]

Best one I ever heard, involves a diner north of Camp Pendelton in Ca. Robber walks in announces stick up. This is to stunded surprise of UNIFORMED CHP, county Sheriffs, San Diego Police, and Military Police. Guesss the genius missed the parked SQUAD CARS in the parking lot....

[billbears]

Cops in a doughnut shop? They don't have time to sit around anymore. Too busy out collecting taxes on the roadside..

[stainlessbanner]

Hahaha!

My thoughts to...may as well try to rob Ft. Knox
