This post comes from another Columbus Blog but is very interesting since the Blog is not known for having bogus wright ups. Anyway check out this story and tell us what you think.

[Before I begin telling this story I want to state that the following events are all hear say and I do not have proof that any of this happened.

Over the weekend I was in a conversation with a friend who was extremely angry because her boyfriend and good friend were beaten up in one of the worst neighborhoods in the city. The interesting thing is that she wasn’t as upset with the people who beat up her boyfriend and friend as much as she was their chaperones. Who we’re their chaperones? The Columbus Police Department.

According to this young lady late last week her boyfriend and friend were driving late at night under the influence of alcohol. This obviously is mistake number one. Sometime on their tipsy excursion they were pulled over by the police. According to my source the police put them through all of the normal DUI tests and they failed but they did not fail miserably. What happens next is where the story gets bizarre. Instead of the police officers arresting the two drunk drivers and taking them Downtown, they insist on giving them a ride home as long as they leave their car behind. Naturally the two men agree to this offer thinking they just dodged a bullet. So they’re riding in the back of the squad car dreaming they’re left over pizza, bed, and possible bong rip that await them at home. However, they notice that the officers were driving nowhere near they’re neighborhood. Eventually the two passengers realize that the officers were not going to drop them off on their door stoop like Andy Griffith would do with the resident town drunk in Mayberry, they had more sinister plans in mind. The officers drop off the two obviously none street cred drunks in one of the worst neighborhoods in Columbus, but instead of just dropping them off they announce the two visitors arrival in the neighborhood by chanting NARC on the bullhorn then leaving. You don’t have to be a resident of the hardest Housing Projects in the world to know that the term NARC doesn’t go over well in poor neighborhoods. Anyway (again according to my source) the residents of the neighborhood come out of the wood work and proceed to kick the day lights out of the two visitors.

If this is true (I have every reason to believe my source is not lying) this would really suck, and I would encourage the victims to sue the Columbus Police Department. This behavior is unacceptable and quite frankly pretty twisted. I mean this story would only be funny if it were a scene in the movie Superbad but if not in reality. ]
