To Protect and Swerve

He was one of the most dangerous men in town — even when he wasn’t on duty driving a police car, hence the nickname: Captain Calamity.

The weird thing was, he didn’t have a malevolent bone in his body. He was just accident-prone. Once, he accidentally shot himself at the range. Another time, he lit a gas station on fire when he Tasered a suspect who collapsed in a puddle of gas. Finally, he shot an undercover cop during a raid.

Recognizing how dangerous he was, he quit. Today, he’s a circus performer juggling chainsaws — while unicycling. What could possibly go wrong?
