Several years ago, while visiting a family member in Boston, we stopped at a small store that was actually two shops in one.
Half of the store was police supplies, like billy clubs, handcuffs, and other things that your average police officer would need. The other half of the store was a donut shop.
I’m not making this up.
I remember thinking that it was kind of odd that a police officer would have to buy his/her own billy club, etc. I would have expected the police department to supply such equipment — but what do I know? Maybe private security cops buy their own stuff. In any event, it was clearly a serious equipment shop for real cops, not some kind of “cop/donut” joke or a place for police hobbyists (if there is such a thing) to get equipment for some kind of role-playing.
