Initech's JournalPolice Wearing Animal Pajamas Tackle, Arrest Suspect
Two off-duty West Midlands Police officers dressed as a zebra and a monkey earned their stripes when they arrested a man on suspicion of violence.
The officers were wearing the fancy dress suits on a night out in Coventry.
The 48-year-old suspect was held in Ansty Road, Stoke, Coventry, after allegedly making threats to kill while in a branch of Co-op.
The drama happened on Monday, but only came to light today when officers posted a series of tweets about it.

It’s going to be a great Easter for one giant bunny after he regained his title as the world’s biggest rabbit.
Four-year-old Ralph managed to claw back his position after devouring food worth an average of £50-a-week.
He now weighs a massive 3st 8lbs, which beats his nemesis Darius by 3lbs, who took the title off him in 2010.

Norfolk (UK) Cop Trips Over Curb, Sues Owner Of Curb
PC Kelly Jones, 33, says she injured her leg and wrist at the filling station in Thetford, Norfolk, on 25 August last year.
She was not available for comment. Petrol station owner Steve Jones said he found the case "shocking".
Police said the claim appeared to be "instigated privately" by the officer.
Mr Jones said PC Jones tripped and fell and that he helped her up, but did not think she was hurt.

Introducing: The Professional Troll
This concept isn't new but it's been around for a long time. As we learned today with the Google Doodle, it doesn't take much to anger a right wing fundamentalist Christian conservative. These people are perhaps the most thin-skinned people on the face of the earth. They believe anyone and everything is attacking their personal beliefs when they really aren't. A Google Doodle honoring Cesar Chavez isn't ditching Jesus in favor of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. It's honoring Cesar Chavez' legacy of promoting and protecting labor rights - something they don't clearly know enough about to care.
Troll: 1. An individual who tries to bring up a controversy when there isn't any. 2. An individual who greatly exaggerates claims made in a topic.
Which brings me to the professional troll. It started with Matt Drudge in the 90's when he claimed he was personally responsible for escalating Bill Clinton's impeachment hearings. Donald Trump and Orly Taitz with their birther nonsense are professional trolls. Joe Arpaio is a racist professional troll. Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, James Dobson, Bryan Fischer, Rush Limbaugh, and Bill Donahue are professional trolls. Rupert Murdoch is the ultimate professional troll. Groups like the Tea Party Patriots and One Million Moms (actually 2,000 members) are professional trolls. They exist only to create bullshit and make things difficult for the rest of us.
As Bill Maher brands them - they are the low information voters in our society. They are only voting based on non issues rather than looking at the big picture. They take everything Fox News says for granted even though 90% of their opinion programs are complete bullshit.
So the next time a non controversy breaks out, be on the lookout for professional trolls. One Million Moms needs more members. Don't believe me? Just ask them again next Christmas when stores start greeting people with "Happy Holidays".
