Bunny, beware!

Consider this a friendly Halloween public service announcement for innocent bunnies and a teachable moment for rookie cops. Did you know that rabbit profiling still goes on today? Yes. In this day and age, people still judge furballs by the color of their, um, fur. This happened to us the other night. Luckily, I caught it all on film as it was going down. It's quite a hare-raising tale.


Super Bunny hears a sound. What could it be? A carrot in trouble? Super Bunny to the rescue!


Super Bunny stops. She sees an officer. Her tail quivers with worry. She remembers how Grandma Rabbit got stopped for speeding and ended up with a body cavity search.


Super Bunny slowly turns around to face her foe.


Distracted by the camera, Super Bunny fails to notice that the rookie S.W.A.T. officer has sneaked up behind her.


Super Bunny busts out her most wicked karate moves, pissing off the rookie cop who only has fake weapons velcroed onto his vest.


"You will pay," rookie commando screams. "Violent bunny! You are all alike!"


"Please, no," Super Bunny begs, "I was just passing by, I mean no harm. Not all bunnies are bad. I'm so much better than Max, that shithead who always ruins Ruby's playdates. Hear me out!"


Rookie officer cuffs her. Cites Super Bunny for disrupting the peace and disorderly conduct. All trumped-up charges.


Super Bunny manages to smile for the mugshot.


Super Bunny's reaction upon hearing that Mark Geragos is her defense attorney.


Fearing suspension, rookie Doobie uncuffs Super Bunny and warns, "Don't let me see you hopping around here again."


Suffering from a momentary lapse of reason, Super Bunny kisses the officer. The officer shrugs her off. He feels no emotion. He is 100% badass.

The morale of the story? Hell if I know. How about: have fun this Halloween and be careful out there!
