From 'you're busted' to 'fries with that?'

I'm getting closer to the 300 post mark on the Fired Blog, with less than two months to go to mark my anniversary of writing about weird firing-related stuff. Hands down, the cop stuff consistently buries the needle on the weirdness meter.

It's always fun to kick back on the Futon Of Love and dig up cop-firing stuff. I haven't heard of a whole department being fired until today. See ya, Gold Hill, Oregon, PD...
As of midnight Saturday, Chief Dean Muchow and Sgt. Hank Hobart are out of jobs, and the unpaid reserve officers are dismissed.

"My career statement may have just gone from, 'You're under arrest,' to 'Do you want fries with that?' " Muchow said with a laugh.

The town's insurer threatened to drop liability coverage unless the department was shut down, so the City Council voted May 30 to disband it.
Ten years ago, they had a chief who sold Mary Kay while on duty. When she wasn't trying to pray the evil spirits out of a possession victim.

The current chief only had to deal with allegations of fraud and harassment. No cosmetics were harmed in the course of his duties. I guess.
