Detective accused of trying to extort a horse from a woman
The cop's deal for the woman was this: Give me the horse and I'll keep quiet about being sexually assaulted by your sister when I was a kid. The sis denies that happened. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)
A horse! A horse! My silence about your creepy-ass sister for a horse!
Seriously, this guy sounds like he's crazier than a sack full of bananas.

Yes, but did he fry the horse and eat it?

What about any cases he has worked on that resulted in convictions? All cases solved are now suspect. I see the Brookfield jails being emptied real soon now.

Better than trying to extort a woman from a horse I suppose.

Don't worry KDP - there's no one in the Brookfield jails.

Yes, I am keeping score. This is the third story in six days about those wonderful boys in blue, the guardians of our society, the police, out and about and preying upon those they are sworn to protect and serve.
It is nice to see a cop that is not sporting the skinhead look however, kudos for that officer.

Damn! Now I have the theme song from Mr. Ed in my head!

At first I thought it said "extract," not "extort."
There was an old lady...
Perhaps she'll die.

How do you even start that conversation?

Quite the pickup line.

I guess that he missed class the day at the police academy when they were teaching that blackmail/extortion is illegal.

And the horse you rode in!

Stupid cop, everybody else gets money.

I never quite understand why extortionists think it will work. And they always end up looking like such sleaze buckets...like that overripe pair that went after Mr. Travolta
