The Strathclyde Police force have eight Jedi amongst their officers

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/8003067.stm

Jane's Police Review editor Chris Herbert, who requested the information, said: "The Force appears to be strong in Strathclyde Police with their Jedi police officers and staff.

"Far from living a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, some members of the noble Jedi order have now chosen Glasgow and its surrounding streets as their home."


I am not sure why Freedom of Information requests actually cover what belief system police officers follow - seems a bit intrusive to me.

Jedi police...more likely to use excessive Force?

It's to distract from the massive corruption in Parliament.

What would you rather read about in the morning papers, expenses claims for bed in MPs second homes or jedi police?

"These are not the Blokes you're looking for."

Jedi police...more likely to use excessive Force?

I would not think Jedis would do that... too reminiscent of the Sith lords, thank God the most powerful member of the Sith is no longer Presid..., er, Vice President of the United States of America and president of the US Senate:p Well played though:wink:

I LOL'd :tongue:

As long as the Strathclyde Police doesn't receive Order 66 they should do fine.

"these are not the blokes you're looking for."

Only if there's a Dark Lord of the Boyle.

"You don't want to resist arrest. You want to surrender quietly and rethink your life."

:p

Or maybe...

Sgt Yoda: Greed leads desperation. Desperation leads to crime. Crime leads to jedi police. Jedi police leads to excessive force. Excessive force... leads to suffering.

Criminal: I don't like suffering.

Sgt Yoda: Then surrender you must hmm? Else beating you may receive. Come quietly you will.

Why am I always at the root of these things ?

Because the Force is strong in you?

Sgt Yoda: Clear, your mind must be if you are to discover the real villains behind the bank robbery

Me ??!?! again. I feel like I am a scape goat.
I mean sure the video shows me Sith lightening the guards and making the door fly off.
But just because I am sith fulfilling my nature doesn't make me criminal.

May the police Force be with you.

The thin blue lightsaber that protects law and order.

Does that mean there are sith criminals about ?

Ummm never underestimate the power of the truncheon?

Sgt Yoda: Mmm, static clouds everything. Hard to see on footage, your crime is. And yet, has taken place crime has. Of your guilt, we are certain.

Always two, there are, a master (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_II_of_the_United_Kingdom) and an apprentice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles,_Prince_of_Wales).

shouldn't that be Padawan?

No. sith are master and apprentice. Jedi are Padawan.

shouldn't that be Padawan?

Not for me, dearie. My Keeper is more Sith-like than Jedi-like.:D

Now all we need is to get Shawn Ryan to write a gritty cop drama...

The Sith.

Sgt Yoda: Mmm, static clouds everything. Hard to see on footage, your crime is. And yet, has taken place crime has. Of your guilt, we are certain.

I am the law !!!
*ZAPS WITH SITH LIGHTING*

No. sith are master and apprentice. Jedi are Padawan. and isn't this about the JEDI religion? or did we switch to Sith Worship?

Not for me, dearie. My Keeper is more Sith-like than Jedi-like.:D

hmm... force lightning or speed... which would be more fun?

but it is an interesting point. The Jedi's have the mind trick, yet the Sith are considered 'ebil'. :p

Oh... God.... That is incredibly epic!

Ebil or good with a mind trick depends on how you trick their mind it does.

Why am I always at the root of these things ?

Not always: Here is one of Quru's Rules of Programming witout mentioning you:

15) First rule of dynamic lists: forgetting to set next leads to bugs, bugs
lead to suffering, suffering leads to the dark side, the dark side
leads to Seasonal Affection Disorder. You have been warned!

(the other ones are not SW related)

Oh... God.... That is incredibly epic!

Yep, the Sith now rule the Galaxy, while the last remaining Jedi hide in backwater places like Strathclyde.

Ahh Strathclyde, I was rowing there this morning. I was wondering what type of battons some of the police were carrying.

Anybody for Futurama reference?

Mmmm... both. *orgasms*

Anybody for Futurama reference?

I was looking for that clubbing scene on the net, I swear.

I never understood how people could be a Jedi?

Does it not go against with what was set out in the Star Wars series?

Ebil or good with a mind trick depends on how you trick their mind it does.

like trying to get an engine without paying for it?

Palpatine used friendship to try to get young Anakin under his control...

Qui Gon used a mind trick to get a hyperdrive engine...

Qui Gon was considered boarder line Grey Jedi.
And he wanted to pay for it, just they weren't going to take his money.

Though my evil use of mind control would be to convince a girl to dance on a table and strip.

Anyone can use that. It's called 'money'.

Yeah the mind trick comes in with using monopoly money.

Grey Jedi =/= Morally Grey Jedi.

exactly... and then you had Luke and Obi Wan using mind control also. to take over another sentient's mind... does the ends justify the means?

Oh... God.... That is incredibly epic!

Bonus points for pun.

Here's something else to keep in mind:

Is Strathclyde as backwater as Tatooine and Dagobah?

*insert obligatory wretched hive of scum and villainy joke here*

Is Strathclyde as backwater as Tatooine and Dagobah?

It's in Scotland, and is full of people of Welsh ancestry. What d'you think?

Is Strathclyde as backwater as Tatooine and Dagobah?

Have they ever shown Taggart on TV in Italy, they are Strathclyde police officers? Apparently the series is classed as a film noir in France as its subject matter is so bleak.
