Selling drugs to policemen not a good idea.

(Stamford-AP)- Stamford police say a student tried to sell drugs to two officers who were wearing jackets with the word “police” written in capital letters.

Police say 17-year-old Devaugn Goethe was charged yesterday with trying to sell narcotics.

Police say two narcotics officers were on routine patrol in an unmarked vehicle driving slowly when the student flagged them down.

Police say the boy opened the back door of the police car, jumped in and asked the officers what they wanted and how much.

Police say the student also mentioned that the two guys, in his words, “look like cops.”

Police say the two officers were wearing raid jackets with the word “police” written in big letters on the back, on the sleeves and on the front.

The officers were wearing the raid jackets because they were looking for fugitives and didn’t want to be mistaken for anything but police officers.

BWAHAHAHA!

Also, that has got to be some of the worst journalistic writing I’ve ever seen. In fact, it sounds awfully like The Broken Column

An old friend of mine did that. He had once been intelligent, but he’s now serving 30 years in the state prison for selling several ounces of cocaine to a fully uniformed city policeman.

When that happened, I thought, “If that’s what cocaine does to your thinking, I’m never going to use it again.” And I haven’t.
