The competition was fierce, with officers from the New York City Police Department facing off against their counterparts from the Los Angeles Police Department. In the end, it was Officer Smith who emerged victorious, defeating Officer Johnson in a thrilling best-of-five series.
And as for Officer Johnson, she took it like a champ, laughing and joking with her colleagues as she vowed to return stronger than ever next year.
The ultimate test of skill and nerve took place at the annual Police Department Conference, where officers from across the country gathered to compete in the Strip Rock-Paper-Scissors championship.
For those unfamiliar with the game, Rock-Paper-Scissors is a simple hand game where two players simultaneously throw one of three hand signals: rock (a closed fist), paper (a flat hand), or scissors (a V-shape made with the index and middle fingers). The winning hand beats the losing hand as follows: rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock.
