First-grade worksheet about running from cops deemed "inappropriate"

First-grade schoolchildren in Pittsburgh were given a worksheet to fill out that contained an unusual scenario.

The worksheet says:

“Tom will run. He will run from the cop. Tom will run with Rob. They will not stop. Look at the cop. The cop has a big mop. What will he do with the mop? Tom falls on a log. Rob falls in the pond. ‘Get them!’ yells the cop to his dog. The dog gets Tom and Rob. Rob’s socks is wet from the pond.”

[Pittsburgh Public Schools Public Information Officer Ebony Pugh] said the school is reaching out to parents to begin the “discussion” and address concerns the worksheet has raised.

What will Tom say to the cops when they catch him?
