Imagine cops talking about what did they do last week?

I caught a murderer, tough case
I busted a group of thieves, we were gathering evidence for months
... I measured bathing suits on a beach

I know this is fiction because cops #1 and 2 don't exist.

they're real. The murderer was a doctor performing an abortion on a rape baby, and the group of thieves were workers caught unionizing and thus attempting to steal profits from their rightful owners.
