Officer Kevin Yang is a fridge felon who picked the wrong workplace to snarf his colleague’s snacks. The suburban Houston police officer was charged with theft and suspended without pay for 30 days after a hidden camera nailed him as the long-sought culprit who was stealing food and drinks from the employee refrigerator.
Yang allegedly took several Monster energy drinks and a bag from a local sandwich shop despite the items being clearly marked as belonging to other officers. This is a misdemeanor and he is expected to continue as a police officer . . . without fridge privileges.
I am a bit skeptical about the need for a criminal charge for a moocher. Why are the costs of charging and adjudication warranted — as opposed to internal discipline?

LK,
The Oatmeal has some really funny twisted stuff on it. One of my favorite blogs besides this one. 😀
The cops could use a clue from the Bobcats:

Unfrickinbelievable! If they KILL someone for no reason they’re suspended with pay for a few days until Internal ”investigates!” But steal a coke from a cop at work, and it’s 30 days WITH NO PAY????
I’m so glad to know they’re priorities are straight!
what, they were videotaping officers on the job!
oh right, my bad, that’s only unlawful when we do it.
catullus,
How could I have forgotten about the best solution… Terry Tate…
Hilarious Blouise!
They used to have a thief at my workplace also.
Someone made an ex-lax cake for them…he ate so much it almost killed him!
Then there was the pickle thief…he stole the last pickle in the jar…but there was a reason no one else took the last one, everyone but the thief knew they peed in the jar!
The water thief loved the ice cold water someone would leave in the fridge, until they found out that the person DIDN’T DRINK the water…they used it to wash their sweaty head band!
Nuff said…
Fool should have tasered somebody in the breakroom … he wouldn’t have been charged with anything
THROW THE BOOK AT THE BASTARD!! Its the only way we can insure the security of our work fridges! 8-{D
Here’s an example of police problems in the here and now,BIG TIME!!
“New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said the NYPD surveillance in his state was “disturbing” and has asked the attorney general to investigate. Christie was New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor and sat on the HIDTA executive board during 2006 and 2007 when the NYPD was conducting surveillance in New Jersey cities. Christie said he didn’t know that, in 2007, the NYPD catalogued every mosque and Muslim business in Newark, the state’s largest city.”

Prosecute a moocher? What a waste of taxpayer money.
You said Houston….. That says it all….. The arm pit of Texas….. Beaumont runs a close second….
I’m with JT, rc and eniobob.
This shows a stunning lack of prioritization skills.

With all the misdeeds, bullying, evidence tampering and other junk that passes for law enforcement in Texas, THIS they get excited about?”

I guess a police department is a far cry from a commune.
This sounds like a matter for Terry Tate:
