"LONDON (Reuters) - Judges ordered a British teenager to pay 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.""

Give me a break. If British cops can have their feelings hurt that easily they shouldn't be on the force. Never seen that happen in the colonies.
I know Britain is an awesome ally and I am proud of that but this needs to be laughed at.
If the cop isn't fat then why is he making such a big deal over it? This cop reminds me of girls crying because their boyfriends called them a tid bit chunky. Come on England I expected more out of you...
