Boston Police Dept. will report all zombie attacks photo

This story can only be spuriously related to videogames by putting a Left 4 Dead spin on it, but it's just too awesome not to write about. A short Twitter exchange between a concerned citizen and the Boston Police Department revealed just how dedicated the boys in blue can be, as they pledged to inform the world of any zombie attacks they come across.

Boston_Police: INJURED OFFICER: Officer from district 4 transported to Beth Israel Hospital, human bite to arm, suspect in custody.

willcady: @Boston_Police if that was a zombie bite, would you tell us?

Boston_Police: @willcady Yes, absolutely

With so many videogames based on zombies, we should be more prepared than anybody else to tackle the undead menace when it comes, and it will definitely come one of these days. As skilled as we may be at introducing flesh-eating ghouls to the business end of a shotgun, however, it's great to know that the police will be looking out for us with the rotting apocalypse arrives.

Why did I have to go and move out of Boston? I'm wide open to zombie attacks now!

I live near Boston... here's to hoping the first attacks start in the subway. Miles of underground transportation waiting to be used as a vessel for a zombie outbreak.

"Slow news day Jim?"

No, I actually have a shitload of things to do. The term "slow news day" is so overused.

If you think the Swine Flu is an epidemic, you clearly haven't heard of the T-Cell Virus. It's a good thing that there can be such transparent communications for a zombie outbreak... Because there isn't any hope if you can't get it quarantined.

@Gibbo if by slow you mean important to everybody, not just gamers, then no.

This shouldn't have just been posted here, it should be on CNN, BBC, everywhere. This is -important-. Jim may have saved us all.

Does anybody else feel that the response from the police sounds slightly sarcastic? I don't trust authority in the least, I'm positive they would cover up a zombie outbreak if one were to occur. Fuckers.

During a zombie apocalypse, NEVER trust your life in the police, they'll get crushed within seconds by the zombies, always trust the rag tag groups of survivors.
