The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Mark Haddon The policeman looked at me for a while without speaking. Then he said, I am arresting you for assaulting a police officer. This made me feel a lot calmer, because it's what policemen say on television and in films.

Nine Pairs of Boots, in Vietnam, by Rosie J. Williams and Stephen R. Williams. The sergeant called for another man to join him, and he told me to cover them.
