mafia crocodiles vs. florida cops
Apparently, it's Mafia versus cops in the odd news world.
First up, reports out of Rome point to Italy's anti-Mafia police seizing a crocodile that has been used to intimidate in exchange for protection. I know what you're thinking, but no, this isn't a plot line ripped from the next Guy Ritchie movie.
When it comes down to it, aren't we all led by movies and pop-culture to believe that bad guys take on strange and vicious pets for the sake of freaking people out and killing their opposition in gruesomely obscure ways? A large (dare I say potentially man-eating) crocodile falls right in line with cliched villainy.
On the other hand, taking a break from a search warranted drug raid to play a few rounds of Nintendo Wii Sports bowling is totally out of character for undercover drug investigators, but that's exactly what happened as evidenced by security camera footage during the search of a Polk County home in Florida.
Sorry cops, the Mafia wins this round.
