Pearls Before Swine

The residents of Cleveland, having decided there’s no news currently worth wasting time on, have decided to go back and re-investigate claims that their police force is being made fun of right beneath their noses. Cleveland police officers responded with a resounding “SOOOO-EEEEEEEEE”.

Not to confuse the issue for Clevelanders but when I was in the Air Force, several of the base Security Police (SP) had black ballcaps with the letters “P.I.G.” in huge white letters on the front. When asked what that stood for they always responded with, “PRIDE-INTEGRITY-GUTS! YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?” For some unknown reason, no one ever called them pigs ....

CLEVELAND (NEWSNET-5)

You see them driving around everywhere, but have you ever taken a closer look at a Cleveland police cruiser? Some people are saying that there’s a hidden image in the logo on the side of the car. A recent newspaper article did some editing, taking away bordering and edging on an image of the logo—and the result was the image of a pig, reported NewsChannel5’s Tracy Carloss.

NewsChannel5 took the pig image to the streets, to find out what Clevelanders thought about the image. “Yeah, now that you point it out, it does look like a pig. Wow, that’s funny, sort of,” said Lakewood resident Jennifer Carrico. Clevelander resident Nick Zalonis said, “I never noticed it before ... I think people are being paranoid, really. If you read too much into it, I guess it would look that way.”

The Cleveland Police Patrolman’s Association said the logo is a silhouette of the police department badge, which dates back more than 100 years. It’s a part of their history, and this is not the first time in history that the pig image has come up.

“We had that in the academy. Every 10 years or so, someone comes out saying something like that. There are a lot bigger issues other than what our badge looks like,” said CPPA President Steve Loomis.

The logo dates back to the late 1960s when the department revamped their look. Right after the Hough Riots, it was changed in an attempt to change the face of the police department. NewsChannel5 spoke with some Cleveland police officers, none of whom were bothered by the logo or the claims.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
