No Line Cutting

We mean it:

A 26-year-old man and his father were arrested by an off-duty Muncie police officer after the man cut in line at a Wal-Mart store. A police report said Edward R. Pluhar Jr., of Frankfort, cut to the front of the line at the Wal-Mart service desk Sunday. What he didn't know was that Officer Chris Kirby was waiting in the line.

Kirby said Pluhar refused when asked to wait his turn. Pluhar's father, 61-year-old Edward R. Pluhar Sr., then asked Kirby if he wanted to step outside. That's when Kirby told the men he was a police officer.

Kirby followed the men into the parking lot where they scuffled. Other officers arrived and arrested both [Pluhars].

Regular readers know I have my share of issues with some of the things police officers do, but sometimes they do things that make me want to kiss them. Well... female ones, anyway. Uh, that is... on the cheek only, of course, dear. I should stop typing now.
