The skies have finally cleared in Virginia, I unloaded the animals and torn apart the Ark. What a fun week of virtually non-stop rain. However, the sun always shines on the digital command center and CopCAST is always bright and cheery. Again this week, I was able to tap into the vast redneck wisdom of our very own Two Girls From Utah to get their perspective on last week?s show. The girls talk about s*x toys and rap songs. I sent them but they weren't mine. How would I know sausage didn't smell like that? You could put an eye out with our keynote story this week. Rapping with the Hip Hop Cops. It is hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys in a Florida jail. Check out the video at: http://www.officer.com/web/online/Top-News-Stories/Inmates-Rescue-Fla-Deputy-Being-Attacked/1$49188.

Again this week, I was able to tap into the vast redneck wisdom of our very own Two Girls From Utah to get their perspective on last week's show.

Some weeks nothing seems to go right and this was one of those weeks. You know, around here we anxiously await the return of Michael, our part-time co-host. Well he paid us a visit this week but unfortunately Garageband ate the first half of his tracks. I recorded the first half of the show and Michael will join us in the middle of the show. I promise to do better in the future. The Two Girls From Utah stopped by to give us their picks of the week from last week's show and a little redneck wisdom. So here is what to get this week. They got her, boy - now what? Text crasher. Punched, kicked and scratched. How mean can a kid be? Cruising in a cruiser. Citizen's arrest. Let me help you with that . . . suicide? Does it or does the trooper tase? The dope ain't mine man. Asleep at the switch - or under the bed. This week we have another installment of the Tales From George's Pocketbook, our audio segment from our brother officers Great Britain. Don't ever get between George and an arrest, he may be an instructor and had his fair share of arrests himself but that doesn't mean that his probationer or anyone else is guaranteed a prisoner once he's got the scent. Be vewy, vewy qwiet and you may just learn a thing or two. For information about a variety of police bicyclist training courses, visit ipmba.org.

Before we get started, this is the last week I expect to have no email - so start typing. The Two Girls From Utah stopped by again this week to give us their take on last week's show. They gave us the naked truth. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. P*ss on those cops - or at least their station house. Just stick your dope in the bowl. A casket and a ransom note.

George is off on another break this week so here is another story from the CopCast Legion of Listeners, this time we hear from long time contributor Sergeant TC.

Now everyone can describe the robbers. This week George learns that the Bavarian two fingered nose-throw is all very well, but when you're in a scrap there are no holds barred, he favors the use of his primary assets when it comes to restraining prisoners.

You know I have never been able to figure out why people want to work day shift. It has messed my CopCAST production schedule all up. But I did better than last week. I have to take pride where I can get it. The 2 Girls From Utah are back and even sassier. Discretion is the operative word. One for three is still 330 in baseball. Crack for clunkers.

Well better late than never. The CopCAST crew has been buried so the show is a little late this week. Shell had a very close friend pass away so the girls will be back next week. Stop by Cops Online and leave a note of condolence on Hell's Bunny's page. Some people can be so smart and so dumb, almost in the same breath. Timing is everything in life and crime. Our keynote story this week is hot and popping. Joy riding is fun but in a police car, really? Manners are very important. Tasers help stop the bull. The dream drug bust. The chances of this plan being successful are sinking. Cannon fodder. Nothing says I love you like a little extortion. This week George teaches us another life lesson. You see everyone has a bad week, even George. Those are the times when absolutely nothing seems to go right and just when you thought nothing else could go wrong ... it does. I know it is late so hurry up and listen to the show. Remember to stay safe, always wear your vest and have a great week.
