MYSTERY ILLNESS IN TERRITORY POLICE

Many Northern Territory police officers are suffering from a strange condition called restless leg syndrome. A puzzling symptom of the malady is sudden , involuntary leg movements. Officers patrolling Darwin’s Mitchell Street weekend drongo precinct and other moron beats are particularly prone to the worrying condition. They report frequent episodes in which their boot, for some unknown reason, has kicked a jackass up the khyber.

An officer sedately walking along a footpath , without warning, can suddenly find himself high kicking like Basil Fawlty impersonating goose - stepping Germans. This has led to an outbreak of complaints about police brutality and bundles of extra money for the growing thug protection industry .
In Darwin Magistrate’s Court today Constable Careful was cleared of an assault charge against a hammer wielding youth who bashed a grannie for her Bingo money. CCTV clearly showed Constable Careful , a sensitive , new age cop, had twice booted the culprit over the cross bar at Richardson Park . However, medical evidence proved that Constable Careful was afflicted by insidious restless leg syndrome when he donned his footie boots , filled the culprit's face with sand , said a prayer and raised the linesmen's flags. .
