Watch this Stormtrooper try joining the Fort Worth Police force - Daily Mail

The Fort Worth Police Department released the video at the weekend, featuring one of their veterans officers attempting to train a Stormtrooper, but with miserable results. The ad hopes to attract talented men and women to the force. The clip appears to be riding the coattails of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the latest installment of the sci-fi series that will be released next month. In the video, a Stormtrooper is seen taking target practice in a parker garage as the experience officer looks on. 'Stop jerking the trigger,' the officer says. The frustrated Stormtrooper eventually looks over at the officer and tells him, 'Hey, it's not as easy as it looks.' When the officer questions how the Stormtrooper managed to get into the program, the camera cuts to a disappointed-looking Darth Vader (inset), who shrugs and walks off.
