ATLANTA, April 24 —  Purse-snatchers beware: Atlanta police are riding shiny new $9,000 scooters — and it will take at least a brisk jog to get away from them.

:D :D

$9,000.  I wonder who figured out the ROI on that investment?  With a top speed of 12 MPH, what does it get you that a bike doesn't?  Maybe the fact that out of shape officers are now more mobile (ie. can't pedal a bike but can ride one of these?).

They can use both hands while riding one of these, can't they?

It sure must come in handy if they have to shoot! :eek:

9 grand is for the stripped down version. If you want a cup holder and a dashboard big enough to sit a box of one dozen Crispy Creme donuts on the price rises dramatically to upwards of 12 grand.
