I learned at an early age that roosters can’t be trusted … [![](https://superawesomevectors.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/foghorn-leghorn-vector-800x566.jpg) ](https://superawesomevectors.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/foghorn-leghorn-vector-800x566.jpg) I wonder if that one now has an arrest record? ---

1. I’m glad he wasn’t an El Pollo Loco, considering what happens when police respond to mental health crises. 2. A K-9 unit was called to the scene. During the pursuit, the chase entered a machine shop, where the suspect crafted a baseball bat on the lathe. But the pursuing K9 officer wrested it from his talons and a desperate fight ensued. 3. In anticipation of a claim of extenuating circumstances, the deceased victim did in fact make the accused dance on an electrified plate as a roadside attraction, and perhaps the motherfucker really did have it coming. ---

I wonder about the phrase “local police”. I see it a lot, such as in the OP. Is there much chance that remote police detained the rooster? ---

No, but state police might have. We don’t use the term ‘federal police’ much, although that would incorporate the FBI, military, and other police authorities in federal agencies. However, the real point of mentioning ‘local police’ is an expectation they’ll act like idiots and arrest chickens or run in fear from wild turkeys when not engaged in run of the mill miscarriages of justice. ---

No, the point of mentioning local police is that they are the police in my municipality. It is not a derogatory term. ---

Nobody mentions the local police in your municipality because they’re just the police. The local police in other municipalities are generally considered what in your language would be called ‘hosers’. ---

Thank you for imputing derogatory and false views of the police to me. I’m done with this thread. ---
