CRIMINAL RESPONSE

How do you tell the difference between a British Police Officer, an Australian Police Officer and an American Police Officer?

Pose the following question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock 40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?

UK POLICE OFFICER'S ANSWER
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids?

Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?

Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 999?

Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed days and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behaviour. If I raise my gun and he turns and runs away, do I get blamed when he falls over running away, knocks his head and kills himself?

If I shoot him, and lose the court case does he have the opportunity to sue me, cost me my job, my credibility and I will lose my family home?

AUSTRALIAN OFFICER'S ANSWER
BANG!

AMERICAN OFFICER'S ANSWER
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click... (Sounds of reloading) BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click.

I think it was originally the difference between a democrat, republican and redneck.

Surely if you're going to tell this joke you must be familiar with guns.

So... tell me.... what brand of 12-shooter was this guy toting?

Seriously, there is no such thing as a Glock 40. The Glock 22 is chambered with the .40 S&W and I will assume that is what they are talking about. Also the Glock 22 has a 15 round magazine and as any good cop would have it chambered he might even have 16 rounds avalible. Eitherway the american cop would know this and would also know that reloading before the magazine is empty is silly as that waists ammo!

Of course he could have had a Glock 27 with an optional 11+1 capassity mag as it is a .40 but then again where did he get the last bullet fired, and why would a cop be carrying a sub-compact. Of course the Glock 26 has a 12 round option but it is a 9mm and I am sure there are others just not a .40 ;)

Steve,

I know that this is the joke forum, but in all seriousness I would pump off a number of rounds to the centre body mass to remove the threat altogether. I'd sooner be judged by twelve than carried by six if get my drift........
