Cleveland cop<\/strong><\/span> Tommy Alusheff moonlighted as a comedian under the name Morey Cohen, which was a conflation of “Morey Amsterdam” and “Myron Cohen.”<\/p>\n

Tommy Alusheff \/ Morey the Cop died in 2010. I knew him only by reputation. Morey wasn\u2019t in the Sixth District — my old police beat. The funniest cop in the Sixth was Paul Falzone, who once told me, \u201cI have eight minutes of material to Morey\u2019s twelve. How can you tell Ronald McDonald at a nudist colony? He\u2019s the one with sesame seed buns.\u201d<\/p>\n

Falzone<\/strong> ran<\/strong><\/span> for county sheriff and president of the patrolmen\u2019s union, and didn\u2019t win either. He eventually became police chief of Bratenahl, a suburb. In 2008 Cuyahoga County tried to put Falzone in jail for theft. Something about drugs and guns missing from the Bratenahl property room. Falzone was acquitted and sued Bratenahl for \u201chumiliation.\u201d That wasn’t funny. <\/p>\n
