This is True

Who Goes There?

An Egyptian policeman was standing guard at a checkpoint in Mallawi, which is under a strict curfew. When a private car driven by a police captain in civilian clothes drove through the checkpoint without stopping, the policeman opened fire. For strictly adhering to his orders and shooting his captain, the policeman has been rewarded with the equivalent of US$29. The captain was seriously wounded. (Reuters) ...Makes you wonder: did he shoot because he didn’t know who the driver was, or because he did?
