“Police Force.”


A Florida state trooper was forced to use a Taser on a man dressed as Darth Vader.  The suspect was drunk and was accused of publicly exposing his light saber.

The trooper had to get the upper hand before his suspect could power up the Death Star.

But at least it didn’t happen in front of his kids, Luke and Leia.

For besting Vader in battle, the Trooper has been promoted to Storm Trooper.


In implementing the taser, the trooper used the force.  Specifically, he used non-lethal force.

“Hustle in Flo”

John “Junior” Gotti, son of the late organized crime boss John Gotti, has been indicted on conspiracy charges related to cocaine trafficking and three murders. Gotti has prior racketeering convictions for bribery, extortion, fraud, and gambling, but this pushes him up from the level of “gangster” to that of “gangsta.” Congratulations, Junior.

When he was released from prison in 2005, Gotti had said he had retired from his life of crime. This week’s cocaine and murder indictments illustrate just how important it is for retirees to keep active.

The indictment in Florida follows failed trials in New York in 2006 and 2007 that ended in mistrial or hung jury. The FBI had a hunch they could get Gotti in Florida based on his own claim that he retired.
