I saw a laughing policeman today.. really I did.. First, through our front window, we glanced a patrol car pulling up across the road.. then a policeman running past at full pelt... As we got up off the sofa to have a better gawp, 2 of 'em were holding down & handcuffing a large enraged muscular thuggish looking bloke who had only moments earlier been rampaging up our street involved in some kind of violent disturbance.. Maybe a domestic involving his wife and kids ??? ..then 3rd, a rather chubby faced jovial looking policeman just started to crack a big smile and a have good quick chuckle to himself about something while standing guard in case he was needed as back up. A young policewoman then emerged from the thugs front door with a grim discomforted expression wiping, scrubbing something off her face with a wad of tissues.... All the time the families 2 fierce fighting dogs were barking and howling to accompany the cacophony of threatening shouts and screams. He was swiftly driven off to the station and the street returned to normal just in time for the start of the Eurovision Song Contest.
