Cops Accused of Intentionally Mowing Down Groundhog in Golf Cart

[NWCorona]

"Two police officers in upstate New York have been suspended as authorities investigate claims the cops used a golf cart to run down and kill a groundhog during a police union's golf tournament.

Witnesses reported seeing the two men chase a groundhog near one of the holes at the Frear Park Golf Course in the city of Troy last Friday afternoon, authorities said. The animal was killed when the cart ran over it."

1. Killing is fun! Right, Coppers?

2. exactly! They chased that poor animal down.

Someone who doesn't stop or try to avoid an animal in their path is sick. Someone who maneuvers to kill is a psychopath.

3. Check me if I'm wrong Sandy...

... but if I kill all the golfers they're gonna lock me up and throw away the key...

Licensed to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. A man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that's all she wrote.

4. What was the groundhog doing in a golf cart?

Was this the one from Caddyshack?

5. As sad and sick this story is... That movie is the first thing that came to mind.

9. Probably why it's a national story

You have to picture the tournament ending like this....

12. "you'll get nothing and like it"

That movie still gives me laughs.

13. It's like watching the Republican Party eat itself in some ways

Although the Dangerfield character is more fun than Trump.

6. Maybe they are kin to the

vet who shot a cat with a bow and bragged about on her Facebook account.

P.S. -- No, not really.
