cops

The Lawrence Police Department's Twitter game is on point. They're providing some hilarious commentary about all the maddening times we find ourselves living in. They're doing it with what seems to be a nice balance between being helpful, and maintaining a sense of humor about everything. 

These throwback stories are true treasures. This particular tale revolves around a group of RAF members having a big night out on the town, that ultimately turned into them angering a cop. Said cop asks for the details of the commanding officer, and the commanding officer has no problem with providing those details. Can't say he didn't comply. What a clever lad! Check out another glorious tale of malicious compliance with this rude customer who gave a warehouse worker some attitude, right before instant karma ensued.

It's not a good idea to block an emergency vehicle, and that goes for just about anyone. This new guy decided he'd take his sweet time getting his cruiser out of the way, so the powers that be decided he should learn a lesson in not blocking ambulances. For another parking dispute, here's a Karen who parked in construction site reserved parking, wouldn't move and got blocked in.

Poor Darren was probably just going about doing exactly what he was taught. Unfortunately, Twitter and it's relentless army of spicy silvertongues were ready to roast the guy to an utter crisp. 

When this cop caught a reckless and cocky driver going 115 MPH, he decided to let the kid's mom handle the situation. Context is key here as well, as the actual road didn't have a speed limit. And just cause there's no speed limit doesn't mean people should be out there tearing down the road over 100 MPH. 

Man, you just love to see someone step up and help out another human being in the middle of a potentially endangering situation. Sounds like this guy had it coming. Fortunately, the cop was around to teach the creep a lesson. 

This cop decided to address the various ways that people try to slyly get away with not wearing their seatbelts, when driving by a cop, by pulling off all kinds of weird body gestures. He presents the info in a fun way, and is ultimately just trying to make those roads a bit safer. 

The idea of having the cops show up at your door, knocking away, and not having any idea why, can bring people into a state of panic. This cop decided to list the possible reasons why the cops could be knocking at the door. It ain't all bad.
