michaelleung: The LAPD, The FBI, and the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at apprehending criminals. The President gets tired of the bickering and decides to give them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it.
The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that rabbits do not exist.
The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and they make no apologies. The rabbit had it coming.
The LAPD goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten bear, who is yelling: "Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!

Get the joke?

Miaghstir: Because none of them caught the rabbit, one of them killed it with a load of collateral damage.

michaelleung: The LAPD is known for forcing false confessions. Get it? Huh? Huh?

Aliasalpha: Its one of those jokes that uses social commentary as a substitute for humour, you're supposed to smile and nod
