I first saw this story on the Daily Cartoonist, but it’s so strange that by now it’s probably getting wider coverage. In Renton, Washington, somebody has used Xtranormal animation to make parody videos of the police department. It’s apparently the work of an insider, and the chief isn’t amused. TV station KIRO7 broke the story. (Argh! The reporter says, “sign off on this,” an expression that drives me nuts. It should simply be “sign this.”)

Today, the police chief defended his use of the courts for what seems to be a personal vendetta. This story has all the ingredients of a real-life Reno 911!
