Unbelieveably the cops actually arrested this guy.

From the Daily Mail:

When police spotted a gun-wielding suspect lurking in the shadows of a suburban front room, their response was swift.
Armed officers burst into the house, shouted at the owner to lie on the floor, and ordered him to surrender his weapon.
But efficiency turned to embarrassment when the "gunman" turned out to be a life-sized model of the video game character Lara Croft, complete with trademark outsized pistols.

Good grief. Arrested on a weapons charge and thrown in the slammer. I did like the one response using the term "coppers". Only the Brits- well, maybe not... I'll have to look for the mannequin on eBay - kinda like that in the Rec Room.

The guy has bruises on his arms, too. Guess some cops over there also like to rough up obviously innocent people before arresting them for bull$#1t reasons.
