Translation: "We're Fucking Understaffed"

Listening to: Nothing yet, but I might pop in a Petracovich record later...


==================================


Question: Loan sharks have been terrorizing defaulters and/or their innocent relatives and friends. As Inspector General of police, what would YOU do?


A) Launch a wave of sting operations. Get hardboiled detectives to pose as borrowers, then immediately default. When Mr. Loan Shark/Ah Long comes to "collect", send in the cops and bust the bastard. For drama, you can give the operations fanciful names like Ops. Jerat, Ops. Mousetrap, or Ops. Jaws...

B) Get a maverick police detective who was recently suspended for insubordination. Put him on a mission to bust the Ah Longs, despite protests from your colleague over his "kurang ajar"-ness. But he'll give them good ol' justice from a .357 Magnum alright. And when the smoke clears, he'll deal a Hartigan-style beatdown to the Boss of the Ah Longs. Damn... that's messy.

C) Prank call those phone numbers you see pasted on streetlights, roadsigns, phone booths and any area more than 16 square-inches thats exposed to the public.

D) Prosecute the victims on charges of "inciting the loan sharks to criminal acts". Auntie came to the station at night with her sob story of her son being threatened by machete-wielding thugs? This'll teach that old crone a thing or two about interrupting your "Malaysian Idol".


The answer is this.
