Laugh or Cry, we all get taken now and then, even the police are not immune.

Bowling said about 15 minutes later the officers emerged, laughing — they had mistaken Ghost for a real threat and had nearly taken him down. The photo above was taken from Robotoki's security cameras and shows the moment the cops approached Bowling's office.

Once they realized Bowling was neither a threat nor a hostage, discussion fell to Bowling's line of work and the ordeal ended with a round of video games using the office's NES controller table.

Watch them get in trouble now for playing video games while on duty.

Hahaha. At least it was over relatively quickly.... would've been ten times more embarassing if it had been a protracted standoff with attempts to establish communication. Of course, this may spark off a citywide riot of skinny-jeaned gamer geeks over the maltreatment of their beloved game character...

Thankfully they didn't burn the building down as they did with the guy up in Big Bear.

"What are his demands!?"

"He wants a real doll and his team of GI Joes to be released."

Gotta mix it up and at least give the appearance of restraint once in a while. What better situation to do so than with a plastic ne'er-do-well?

Hilarious. Especially the breakdown describing the individuals debating on whether or not to push the Panic button. I'd love to see the police report on this one.

As amusing as this is it occurred in Kalifornia so expect sweeping laws shortly on what you can & can't put in your windows forthcoming. This also means that Colorado will adopt these 'common sense' policies within a few years.

At least the dummy had his Eotech on the correct way.

In defense here- the picture in the article (if that is indeed the statue in question) it does look pretty lifelike... however, observe for about 5 min, try and talk to it, and eventually something has to click and make them think "okay, this guy is good, he hasn't moved at all in forever... or maybe it's just a statue?"

They never thought that shoulder mounted knives and cotton ski masks had gone the way of the dodo?
