MPD Officers Love Family Guy
A reader sent us these two photos the other day, taken at 14th and Columbia Road NW late Saturday night. A pair of police officers appear to have been watching Family Guy via Hulu.com on the squad car's computer. They had paused the video to enter a nearby store when the photo was taken.
Now hopefully these officers were on a break or off-duty. And we guess it's good they weren't watching World's Wildest Police Chases, Maniac Cop, or the Best of Chief Wiggum, but still, we're guessing Chief Lanier probably doesn't want her officers watching cartoons while they're out on the street in uniform.

Taking tips from Peter Griffin! I was always wondering why our police force, well.... SUCKS MAJOR DONG. Anyways don't get me started, I can't even vote yet so its not my fault.

Imagine the ass-beating that would have ensued had the cops come out and saw that guy taking pictures of their indiscretions.

i guess it's understandable, there's hardly any crime in that part of town.

I've also seen a lot of Solitaire on cruisers' screens in the past.

Why aren't they watching rockford files or columbo. That ought to be mandatory watching.

Maybe they should watch the 300 so they can get pumped up for killing innocent children!!

Everything I know about fighting crime I learned from Mannix, Banacek, and Cannon (A Quinn Martin Production).
Barnaby Jones? F**k that s**t. Like I'd trust my case to Jed Clampett. That's how we got into this mess.

i'm glad the second picture has the cruiser's number on it. "SUCKS MAJOR DONG" is an understatement when it comes to describing our police force. i would add DONKEY to that phrase.

What kind of wireless bandwidth do these guys have that can handle the streaming video from Hulu? Am I the only one that's impressed by that?

I really hope the cop was driving and watching Family Guy at the same time. And getting blown by a hooker. Because it's time Officer Friendly had a pimpin upgrade.

What it would be worse if he was checking out another site, like perhaps dcist.com. Like all of us do at work?

It beats what so many DC cops do - hide out in alleyways and sleep.
