"We're not here to answer accusations about who came up with the idea or who is to blame for it's not working exactly according to our expectations. The whole department was behind the idea of Muppet Cops. It was a unanimous decision brought about by the department in conjunction with the province, there were many many signatories in this process. Muppet Cops still sounds like a good idea to me. But it's obvious now that there were unforeseen problems with the procedure. Too much power. We thought they'd be cute and they just became tyrants. We've never had so many police killings, and never more brutal. Officers are still speculating as to why that is. Some think it's because the Muppets are operated from underneath, so while this was formerly a figure of authority, it became a kind of super-authority because even the officers where subordinate to their whims. Some think it's the transfer of authority into a character, one that is separate from human ethics and morals, that allows it to be 'set free' in a sense and operate outside of human decency. Others, and if you've ever used one you wouldn't dismiss this option, feel the Muppets themselves are possessed by some sort of demon force. Needless to say, we'll be canceling the Muppet Cops program immediately, and will do everything in our power to bring the twelve escaped Muppet Cops in as quickly as possible and bring them to the justice they so desperately deserve. May God help anyone that runs into them out there."
