Airport Narcs Fired For Peeing on Luggage
Ok, they were dogs, but it's still funnyâ¦
Two of Thailand's top canine agents in the country's war against drugs have been fired for "unbecoming conduct" that included urinating on luggage and rubbing up against female airport passengers.

So in Thailand, police dogs pee on luggage and get fired. Meanwhile, here in the U.S., an utterly incompetent human narc can terrorize innocent people and get off with a one-day suspension.
It's particularly galling considering that dogs are expected to pee on stuff, whereas police officers certainly arenât expected to terrorize the innocent. Or are they? The way today's public officials react to gratuitous police violence, you could easily expect more concern from a pet owner who finds a mess on the rug.
Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the punishment for police peeing on someone's belongings during a wrong address drug raid were remarkably lenient. And unfortunately, at this pace, I'm sure we'll have a chance to find out what it is before long.
Q: Which is worse, an incontinent dog or an incompetent cop?
A: The cop. He'll shoot your dog, at which point it will inevitably release its bowels anyway.
