This is how you guys get killed. – Florida cop (identity hidden by the State)
We’ve been rewatching the Looney Tunes lately, as you may have guessed from my musical selection of three weeks back. This is another one referenced in a number of ’40s cartoons, especially by Bugs Bunny (“My mama done told me/A buzzard is two-faced…”) and Daffy Duck. It later became a blues standard (the gender is easily reversed), but here’s Cab Calloway’s version. The links above it were provided by Radley Balko, Jesse Walker, Rose Alliance, Cop Crisis, Mistress Matisse, and Cop Crisis again, in that order.
