Not that there is much  difference between the real cop to the fake one mind you, both are out there for themselves...

What?  Did he fall asleep.  

The policeman doing the body search seems to be enjoying his job....

The grey area between cops & robbers is paper thin here in LOS

I think the hair cut might have given me a clue it was no cop.

In other words had he been a real police officer there would not have been any problem .............LOL

Projection??? Seeing as how we don't see the policeman's face, it reads like you'd like to be the one doing the search...

ugh.....ah, but wait......I'd forgotten how a sense of humor (especially in that area) had gone out of fashion in the era of Woke....

Is the Headline a "Typo"?

 

Should it have been "Police arrested for impersonating men in two robberies." ????
