Now if they had just used a file photo with a couple of pigs instead this would have been priceless....

Rural Crime Squad to be reinstated - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

"There was outcry from rural groups when the squad was disbanded earlier this year, so its four officers could be reassigned to other areas of policing... Mr Johnson says agricultural theft is a unique field which needs specialist attention."

Haha. Seems like someone had fun writing that article.

isnt that like racist or persecuting rural people,
they had to stop having the asian crime task force because it was targeting asian people

I just loved the way they worded the caption for the photo. I am sure they could have found a stock photo showing police at work, but this was more fun.
