Ok, ok... firefighters get the last laugh. This time.

New York police officer stuck in tree rescuing a cat in Oakland Park, Queens | Metro News

Oh good lord. This guy will NEVER live this down.

No he sure as hell won't live it down. I'd like to get a look at his locker after this whole fiasco. Serves him right, he shoulda called ESU instead of FD.

LOL well that's a bit embarrassing.

We don't go chasing bad guys, they shouldn't go rescuing the cats!!! There would be a long lasting razzing of this officer around here.

Has anyone ever seen a cat skeleton in a tree?

"When a Tennessee woman's cat was stuck in a pine tree, firefighters gave her two options: they could blast it out with a hose or shake the tree until the cat fell out. "

They should have blasted the cop out of the tree with a hose.

As a matter of fact... visitors to the Nevada State History Museum in Carson city... will be familiar with an exhibit featuring a dead cat which was reputedly the first domestic cat brought to Carson City during the silver rush. It crawled up a tree and died of heat/dehydration and was quite literally dessicated/mummified in the tree. It's in the museum to this day... I had a picture of it... but can't find it. Maybe someone from Carson City will post it...

The firehose is nothing compared to what his buddies will do to him. ;-)

We get dispatched quite often with the police to throw up ladders so they can do roof searches, check on well being, etc., and I can state for a fact, woe is you if we have to come up and bring you down. We only break balls for a couple minutes, but the guys and gals they work with are brutal!
