A Florida police officer recently was stripped of his badge and gun by the Oviedo Police Department after posting that he was a ninja on his myspace page.
It stated that he was a “supertrained killer ninja fighter of the night who has not had a chance to use this special skill yet.”
The problem with this situation… Punishing people for what they might do? It is clearly stated that, even though possessing the rather potent skills of a ninja, the man has yet to enter into a situation in which the ability to slice a room full of pirates into tiny pieces before escaping up the side of wall into the darkness would be needed.
I was saddened to learn that the officer attempted to apologize for the ninja statement, claiming that it was only a joke. But awesome meters shot up once again when the news article stated his other violation, one of which being probably the most domineering thing a police officer can do:
Varkony admitted putting notches on his Taser every time it was used.
