UK Police Force Posts All Its Calls On Twitter

Stoobalou writes "One of the largest police forces in the UK is posting every incident reported to it today on Twitter. Greater Manchester Police began its 24-hour experiment this morning at 05:00 BST, tweeting all incident reports in the hope of highlighting the complexity of modern policing. 'Policing is often seen in very simple terms, with cops chasing robbers and locking them up,' Chief Constable Peter Fahy said in a statement. 'However the reality is that this accounts for only part of the work they have to deal with.'"

A great day for a HEIST, just be out of there within 2 minutes of them twittering the call.

Excellent parodies also available.

That would explain all the UFO sightings ... and why some pub south of Manchester has been reportedly eaten by a creature resembling Margaret Thatcher. An ABP has been issued for Godzilla in drag.
