MAN DOES A ‘PAS DE BOURRÉE’ OUT OF A DUI ARREST (VIDEO)

Leave a comment

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – If you’ve ever been stopped at a sobriety checkpoint, you know what the police officer will have you do to test if you’ve been driving under the influence. Step out of your car, point to your nose, walk a straight line, recite the alphabet backwards and so on.

But a Texas man who was obviously drunk escaped arrest by doing everything the officer asked him to do with flying colors.

Including doing a pas de bourrée!

OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF COPS OPPOSE PURPLE UNIFORMS

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) –  Last week, President Barack Obama banned the sale of certain military-style equipment to police departments. He also thinks that police officers should have “softer looking” uniforms, pointing out that cops are making things worse when they show up to inner city communities wearing military-style equipment and riot gear.

Taking its cue from the President’s message, the Justice Department is reportedly field testing two different shades of purple that would eventually replace all traditional uniforms of police officers across the country, according to callthecops.net. Purple is universally viewed as a color representing friendship. But the majority of police officers are not buying it.

Meeting for its annual convention in New York City, the National Coalition of Police Officers’ Associations (NCPOA) unanimously passed a resolution opposing purple as the new color for police uniforms.

“The color may be soft, but it’s too soft ” the resolution said. Many cops expressed strong objection to purple saying “it’s too gay!”

The resolution will be presented Tuesday to Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

A second resolution proposing to change the color of all police cars to pink was immediately shot down by the convention attendees.

KRIS AQUINO’S INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS JUST DROPPED TO ZERO

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – They were once very good friends — the Philippines’ Queen of All Media, Kris Aquino and the Teleserye Queen, Judy Ann Santos. Their friendship couldn’t have been more evident than in their back and forth Instagram posts, practically boosting each other’s ego.

But things have obviously changed because Kris has unfollowed Judy on Instagram, after the latter expressed her thoughts on the “Fallen 44,” the police officers who were killed in a misencounter with rebel forces in the island of Mindanao.

Judy joined millions of Filipinos who expressed outrage over President NoyNoy Aquino’s handling of the special forces operation designed to capture wanted rebel leaders, and his non-appearance in the arrival ceremonies in Manila of the bodies of the fallen officers. The president chose to attend the inauguration of a car manufacturing plant just miles from the capital. Judy cited U.S. President Barack Obama’s cancellation of foreign trips or other appoinments to attend arrival ceremonies for fallen American soldiers in war zones across the globe.

Blood is thicker than water, so Kris took the side of his president brother and warned her Instagram followers that they will be “unfollowed” if not outrightly deleted from her Instagram account if they sided with Judy or expressed any untoward comments regarding her brother’s handling of the police “massacre.”

Well, Judy seems to have the last laugh.  As of 6 p.m. Monday, local time, Kris’ followers dropped to zero from 1.4 Million, the biggest  drop in followers ever recorded on social media worldwide. It was she who was unfollowed.

It is a lesson learned for the presidential sister: politics and friendship (or fans) don’t mix. Especially if it involves a very unpopular president.
