Clare, Michigan (dead center of the middle of nowhere): When a century-old bakery was about to close its doors, a group of police officers ponied up the money to buy it. It will continue to operate as "Cops & Doughnuts."

Few years ago I read there was a donut shop in Dallas owned by a couple cops up there. Don't know if it is still in operation tho...

I feel sorry for the first idiot that tries to rob the place.

On one hand you'd think they'd find another place to rob, but they are criminals and as things deteriorate, they become more rash.

I read a report about a robber who walked past a sheriff deputy's car that was parked right outside the door of a doughnut shop and tried to rob it. With a knife, IIRC. There really isn't a word for that kind of dumb.

I used to work with this guy who, every time a cop car
went by with the lights and/or siren on, he'd yell
DONUT SALE!!
