Copper pulled rank to buy PS3

Apparently punters in the queue laid a formal complaint over the antics of the copper who was allowed to jump the queue by security guards at the Providence Place Mall.

Apparently, while many may turn a blind eye to police corruption in every day life, nothing turns a gamer in to a rabid social reformer faster than a copper who jumps a PS3 queue.

Witnesses flooded the police station with complaints and the case was taken up by the local telly station. Security tape of the incident was used as evidence and eventually the copper confessed to his boss.

Providence police Chief Dean Esserman said that the officer claimed he had not done anything wrong. His boss is not so sure and has thrown the book at him.
