Criminal Justice Class 7

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Tick was involved in the Annoying Blond Child story last night. He spent most of the night in the clinic to help people feel safe. As such, he's tired. The mun himself had nothing for class, then got caught up in plot, so I didn't write the lesson until about 1:30 AM, which is way too late. That explains the crack down below.Class Info Link.]

*Tick is standing at the podium as usual. Something seems off, though. He looks still. Too still. You might think he's asleep. And then he snores. He's definitely asleep. The snore seemed to wake him up. though.*

Wha? Huh? Ah. Hello, class! Today, we'll be discussing another hypothetical situation where you decide what you would do if you were the police officer on the scene.

Picture this: A street musician whose Street Performers License expires that day is performing at a reasonable time. His saxophone playing is so bad, though, that it confuses a bird, who then flies smack into some unlucky guy's forehead!

What steps would you take in responding to this situation? Be as detailed as possible.

This week's extra credit is to do your best bird call. But egads, don't do it so well that a bird flies into anyone's noggin!

One final announcement today; we will be having a test next Thursday, October 13th. If you're truly dedicated to Justice, you should have no problem with it!

Well, if it expires that day, then he's still legal, right? So the problem is the bad music and the bird. I'd probably snatch the guy's sax away before I killed him with it suggest to the guy that he get some lessons, hock it at the nearest pawnshop for as much cash as possible. Oh, and call 911 on my cellphone and tell them to send animal control and an ambulance.


Oh, and uh... *tweeeet! tweeet?*

Good call! Two things, though. First, you're a cop in this scenerio, so you'd get to use a keen radio! Second, you should take care of the injured parties first. But you got the jist of it!

And excellent bird call!

By the way, have you seen any of your classmates today?

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

Apparently they were all just running really late? ;-)

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Apparently. That was kinda weird.

Archie is slumped in a back seat, tired but trying his best.

"Erm . . . make sure the bird and the man he hit are all right first?

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Very good, Archie!" Tick leaned in and asked in as much of a whisper as he could managed - that is to say, his voice was just slightly quieter than normal - "How's your friend?"

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"All right. Just a headache," Archie replied. "And considerably shaken up too, I think . . . was that boy ever caught?"

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"I think I heard something about him being caught, but I don't know for sure, chum."

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"Let's hope so. If last night was any indication, I'd hate to think how many people would end up getting hurt if he stays on the loose."

Legally I don't think he's doing anything wrong. But the unlucky man should be able to... beat him up for it. *shrugs* It's only fair. And if the music had offended me, too, I would help the unlucky man.

*does a bird call*
(OOC: It's canon, omg!)

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Hmm... In certain cultures, I suppose the man would be able to throw the bird at the musician's forehead. That doesn't seem fair to the bird, though. [OOC: SOMEBODY MAKE A FLIPPING THE BIRD JOKE NOW!].

Egads, that's a mighty bird call!

(OOC: Can't! Won't be IC!)

[OOC: Jaye is right down there! Come on, people, work with me!]

[fates_jaye]

(OOC: *SIGH* *g*)

You could always... I dunno, flip him the bird?

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: w00t]

Well, yes, I suppose that in those cultures, the bird could be flipped in retaliation. Good contribution!

[fates_jaye]

I try.

(OOC: =P)

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Thank you kindly.]

[fates_jaye]

Ooh! I know! You beat the guy to death with his own sax!

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Well, that's not very... Wait, are you even in this class?

[fates_jaye]

*long pause*

Maybe? I mean, yes. Yes, Totally yes. *nods* Mm hm.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Well, okay then! In that case, beating the musician with his own sax is definitely not right, especially for a police officer. Especially when there's a man bleeding to death through a bird wound in the head and a poor, confused bird laying there, dazed!

[fates_jaye]

Well, I'd try to help the poor bird! Until it dies, because I don't want to find out whether or not a corpsified bird will sing me to sleep every night.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

And the bleeding man?

[fates_jaye]

I wouldn't step on him or anything, if that's what you're asking.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

It's your duty to help the bleeding man!

Justice should talk to you! It should tell you what you should do when there's Wrong afoot! When you see the bleeding man, you must supply him with the Elixir of Life that is Justice!

And, uh, call for an ambulance.

[fates_jaye]

Yes! Of course! Elixir of life and an ambulance!

I was just about to say that.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Ah! I was fearing that you weren't as devoted to Justice as I had hoped, but you fixed that right up! Egads! You were even going to use the same metaphor as me! Well done!

[fates_jaye]

Thanks, Mr. The Tick!
