With all thetrue-crimeTV shows, books, and podcasts floating around these days, it amazes me that law enforcement can have any tricks up its sleeve.
Luckily, some intrepidpoliceofficers of the law in Thailand — which it turns outdoeshave laws; who knew?! — have shown us a new one.
That trick? The old "Undercover Lunar New Year Lion."

Classic. I think that was how they got Dillinger… oh no, wait, he just got pumped full of lead.
According to a viral video making the rounds, some cops inThailandwere running out of ideas for ways to apprehend a man who had robbed one of their fellow officers' homes.
Apparently, other attempts had ended with the man running away, so the cops decided to get the element of surprise on their side.
They wrangled up one of those big, fancy Lunar New Year lion costumes, puppets…things, and gave this sticky-fingered, cop-robbin' crook the surprise of his life.
It makes me want to write a police procedural called "Lunar New Year Lion Cop" (I am open to workshopping the title).
In the show, Kurt "Lion" Lyonowski is a hard-boiled cop who plays by his own rules. Every episode plays out just like every cop show you've ever seen, until the third act.
