Thanks, officer

Today, I was mugged. I saw a cop car in the aftermath and flagged it down. Unfortunately, when the cops stopped the mugger, he said he'd been running away because I tried to mug him. Apparently the fact that he was "well-dressed" and I wasn't means he was telling the truth. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Some cops are just judgmental people. Sorry to hear that they didn't believe you, hope they realized and got your stuff back.

It makes no sense to judge based on how well-dressed somebody looks though. It's easy to buy expensive clothes when you're stealing other people's money, look at any politician.

Sorry OP that's the kind of world we live in sadly. A well dressed man could be a serial killer and no one would say anything about it. If you have the officers name maybe you could file against them?

If you can prove that guy mugged you somehow, you can follow up by making a lawsuit against those cops for negligence. Enjoy your lump sum of money if you pull it off.

Some cops are such idiots.

why does everyone keep commenting "OP"?

It means "original poster". The person who wrote the fml

why the hell would someone think you flag down a police officer after you mugged someone?

Ya but its not all cops. Saying **** the police is saying all cops are bad. Its like any certain group of people. People remember the bad ones but not the good ones.

Ever heard of defending yourself against the mugger? Just a thought.
