And finally… Canadian cops told to pipe down the chopper talk

Police in Winnipeg, Canada were forced to apologise after officers on a helicopter patrol mistakenly broadcast their private conversation over a loudspeaker while flying over the city’s west end.

One resident told CBC she heard an officer ask “Can you give me a blowjob?”.

Another replied: “You have too much body hair.”

Locals said it sounded like the conversation was taking place right behind them.

The incident resulted in the hashtag #whoops trending on Twitter, with police using it in an apology they issued.

They said in a statement one of the officers had “inadvertently activated the aircraft’s public address system,” resulting in the “inappropriate” conversation being broadcast.
