Teen Forced to Pay Cop for Calling Him 'Fat'

LONDON (Reuters) - Judges ordered a British teenager to pay $160 to a policeman for "mental anguish" after calling him "fat," the Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday.
The newspaper said policeman Jack Montague was on foot patrol with a colleague in Ulverston in northwest England when a drunken 17-year-old insulted him. Magistrates found the youth guilty of abusive behavior.
"Coppers have feelings too, and I'm glad that the magistrates have taken the unusual step of recognizing that," the paper quoted the police officer as saying.
The 5-foot, 8-inch officer weighs 196 pounds, the paper said.
"Sure, I enjoy the odd curry and a pint or two, but I am not fat at all. That's unfair," he said. "I play cricket for my local club and coach junior football, so if anything, I think I am quite sporty."

Ok, so if he feels that "Sure, I enjoy the odd curry and a pint or two, but I am not fat at all. That's unfair," he said. "I play cricket for my local club and coach junior football, so if anything, I think I am quite sporty," then how did it cause him "mental anguish?"

He shoulda just hit the kid in the kneecap with his billy club and said, "That's the only fat thing you have to worry about when it comes to me."

Grow a spine copper....oops, I just called him spineless. Hope he doesn't sue.
