A Thai police force has begun taking a monkey, dressed in police uniform, on patrol each day to help improve relations with Muslim separatists.
The five-year-old pig-tailed macaque was adopted after policemen in Yaha province in southern Thailand found him injured with a broken arm.
Trainers taught Santisuk, which means peace in Thai, to pick up coconuts and he now helps residents collect the fruit.

Does he get union benefits? Nope, and neither do his human handlers.

If one monkey in Thailand can "help improve relations with Muslim separatists" - imagine what large numbers of them could do in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Off course to optimize performance, we'd give them appropriate uniforms and protective gear... and maybe teach 'em how to ride horses, talk, and beat the sh-t out of folks....

If he’s bad, does the cop get to spank his monkey?
