Cop Out

The 2007 Public Disservant of the Year award goes to Sgt. Andrea Eichhorn. She's also in the running for Insensitive and Selfish Dickhead of the Decade:

A police officer who slipped and injured a knee during a rescue call has sued the family who phoned 911 after their 1-year-old boy nearly drowned.

The child, Joey Cosmillo, fell into the family pool in January. He was resuscitated but suffered brain damage and can't walk, talk or swallow. He lives in a nursing home and eats and breathes through tubes.

Police Sgt. Andrea Eichhorn alleges the boy's family left a puddle of water on the floor, causing her fall during the rescue effort. She broke her knee and missed two months of work.

Awwww... Did widdle Andwea turn her widdle knee? Here... kissy-kissy make better.

There was a nearly-drowned kid in the room. My finely honed deductive reasoning skills tell me he was probably wet: hence the puddle of water. Watch where you're walking, you stupid cow.

Eichhorn's personnel file includes numerous commendations. The 12-year veteran has worked as a hostage negotiator and prostitution decoy, and even wrestled razors away from a suicidal person.

What a great public servant. So she spent taxpayer money throwing johns in jail, then prevented volunteers removing themselves from the gene pool? I can't see where she's done anything worthwhile in her entire career.

Put her to work changing sheets in a children's cancer ward. Maybe she'll learn some sensitivity.
