... owned on the grammAr.. but i'm not letting police go!! :chuckles:
i agree.. "police" is plural. you can't say "look at that police" and expect someone to know what you mean - if it were singular, it should work. it'd have to be "look at that police officer" or something like that. just say it out loud, and its clear, "police has been dispatched"... just doesn't sound right
