I think the whole concept of cops coming with short stacks is a takeoff on the whole cop donut thing. The short stack thing makes sense for a donut loving sub group like LEOs. To have to mention donuts is hitting one over the head with the obvious. Or I could be wrong?
Have a nice day.
Mentioning donuts could be a “tip of the hat” to the intention of the original statement. It could be an indication that the “takeoff on the whole cop donut thing” was noted. Then again, it could be that donuts and short stacks aren’t the same thing and that cops might want to eat both at the same time. Who knows? Could you be wrong? Oh my... of course not. Not you ! :)
