Calling Mr Orwell!

Mitchell Moodie will come to regret that, I think.

Typical angry cop response - and in a poorly written, low IQ kind of way. I have a question. Why are so many cops always on their cell phones while on duty? Who are they talking to? Commissioner Gordon?

You are a punk compared to the average mall cop. Probably a snot nosed punk at that
