It's good to see Bahgdad By The Bay has their priorities straight.
And no matter how bad your last assignment was, this has to be worse.

San Francisco Police Are Dressing Up in Chicken Costumes to 'Fight' Crime and Social Media Replies Are Savage

The San Francisco Chronicle reported earlier this week that city police officers have started dressing up in inflatable chicken costumes to catch drivers breaking the law while driving. On Monday morning, San Francisco police Lt. Jonathan Ozol wore one of these inflatable costumes as he awkwardly tried to navigate a crosswalk on Alemany Boulevard.

The purpose of this stunt was to issue tickets to drivers who disobeyed state law by not yielding to pedestrians. The department reported that a good number of drivers failed to do so.

Police Captain Amy Hurwitz told the San Francisco Chronicle she is confident the exercise will stop drivers from running people over.
"I don't want them to get run over," she said. "But the costume is so bright, it's like, how can you miss it?"

Right thoughtful copette right there.  Puts her guys in front of moving cars and HOPES they don't get run over.

Tickets are revenue, felony arrests are expenses.

There are crime statistics and clearance rates, but there are city budgets too.

The bright side is if you think your job is the worst, this should make you feel a little better.

This is a stupid trap.  They look like a roadside advertiser,  not someone who is trying to cross a street (chicken pun intended)

Great way to drive more taxpayers out of your shitty city.  Roads are for cars, get your ass across the street when there aren't any cars coming through.

In a crime ridden city I'll bet not yielding is a self defense mechanism to avoid getting robbed.

When you can't solve all your problems with mass murder like most power mad politicians it seems you need to settle for humiliating people.

Just you wait.

At the current rate things are going in a few years we might have police in certain jurisdictions being placed in stocks to be pelted with garbage.
