Cops Brag of Hitting Pedestrians

Police are under fire for bragging and joking about crashing their vehicles and hitting pedestrians while on the job in a strange Facebook group.

The British officers even posted photos of their damaged police vehicles onto the "Yes I have had a POLCOL" group in what appeared to be a game of one-upmanship.

"POLCOL" is a term used by officers to describe a police collision.

"If you have had a POLCOL tell the world about it," the group’s administrator said on the page.

"If you have a picture of one share it."

One group member claimed to have even "knocked" a deaf person off a bicycle while listing his top five POLCOLs.

"1. I reversed a van down a darkened alley way and knocked a blokes fence down," he said.

"2. Knocked a moped off (not to count cos he f**ked off)

"3. Knocked a deaf bloke off his bicycle

London’s Met Commissioner Sir Ian Blair told the Daily Mail newspaper that the behavior of officers signed up to the Facebook group is "totally unacceptable."

"If true, this behavior is completely unacceptable," Sir Ian told the newspaper, adding that while he himself oft times participated in similar "rookie" activities, "You cannot go boasting about such things where just anyone can stop on by and read how you ran over some blind mans foot then went back for the other when he wasn't dancing funnily enough.

"We will conduct a rigorous investigation to find those responsible and teach them a lesson or two about talking out of class."

More than 360 people have already signed up for the group.
