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.
“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.”
One question: if you are “quite sporty” then why did you suffer from mental anquish when a drunken teenager called you fat?
