(Opening shot: the city skyline during the day.)

Narrator: The City of Townsville... loves its police force.

(Camera zooms out to reveal it inside the office of one of the precincts of the Townsville Police Department, then shift to the right showing policemen and policewomen working and zoom in to reveal the open box of doughnuts on the desk.)

Narrator: A group of hard-working men and women, doing their best to keep Townsville safe.

(A policeman takes one of his old-fashion glazed from the box, the scene changes to a side view of a policeman who is wearing sunglasses and has a white mustache. He opens his mouth as he puts his doughnut in front of his face. He bites and chews it very loudly as the camera zooms out to reveal the policeman is very fat. Definitely not an officer who prefers to remain lean and well-exercised to do his job.)

Narrator: Except for this guy.

(Inside the doughnut shop, the same fat policeman points to each doughnut he wishes to purchase with a pleased look on his face, preferring the perks of his job with eating a cop's favorite food over doing his duty to defend Townsville from crime and lawlessness.)

Narrator: Officer Mike Brickowski, the worst cop on the force. (A woman screams as she points at a thief off-camera and two policemen chase after the unseen thief to catch and apprehend him and recover what he took from the woman, then she looks at Brickowski, and glares at him for just standing there and doing nothing but eating his doughnut instead of helping his fellow officers catch the bad guy, thus failing his duty to help the people of Townsville like he is supposed to do.) He makes no effort to fight crime or help the citizens of Townsville. (A boy wants Brickowski to help him to get his cat down from a tree, but Brickowski is still eating and ignoring the boy's pleas for assistance, still being lazy, selfish, and useless. We then see (Y/N) grabbed the boy's cat from the tree which he climbed and then gave the boy his cat back.)

(Three men try to lift a turned-over police car, and he is shown cheerfully watching while still holding his doughnut, enjoying their struggling with sadistic pleasure and not even lifting a finger to help his brothers of the badge, once again showing his outright refusal to commit himself to the police motto and duty of "To Protect And Serve" and just enjoying the perks of his job, such as his yummy doughnut.)

Narrator: He'd rather let his fellow officers do all the work. (Each of three scenes depicts him exiting a different doughnut shop at different times of the day while his partner waits in the squad car) He likes things easy. (Now while his partner, Miguel Perez, drives the police car, Brickowski silently moves his mouth, speaking to him as they patrol their beat) Enjoy your ride when it lasts, Officer Brickowski... (He takes a bite of his doughnut and the car passes O.C. Now, back in the car, Brickowski is napping and snoring, while Perez is reading the newspaper at the wheel, both having stopped their cruiser for a break before returning to patrol.) ...'cause you're in for a rude awakening.

(A ring is heard. It is revealed that they had been parked near a bank all along. The ring is the bank's security alarm as it is being robbed at that exact moment, and the two officers are right there, ready to respond instantly.)

Dispatcher: Car 11, come in.

(Perez looks in surprise out the window upon realizing there is a crime in progress and, realizing he and Brickowski are the first officers on scene and responding to the call with being in the right place at the right time, immediately runs toward the bank. He slams up, back first, against the wall with his service pistol drawn and at the ready for whatever he will encounter should he make entry into the building to stop the robber, especially with his partner.)
