Apparently some cows are escape artist. When this cop heard about a weird dispatch he decided to check it out and the results were far from disappointing. This was nothing like this funny escaped cow who went back in after being yelled at. And for more police stuff, here are some funny times cops were cool.

Just because you see something you don't like doesn't mean it's an emergency. 911 dispatchers get dumb calls all the time. Luckily they're there to sift through the people having a meltdown in traffic and grandmas who think the kids on their lawn are terrorists so cops can respond to actual crimes.

Someone on AskReddit asked for police officers to share the laws they feel uncomfortable about enforcing, because they don't necessarily agree with them. We've got responses like, how they don't particularly want to bust people out having a good time on the river, as long as they're not being total inconsiderate animals. As well as, angelic cops who literally carry nickels on them to feed the meters to avoid writing tickets. Wherever that is happening sounds like a hell of a place. 

Cops have some interesting stories, like times they've enforced stupid laws just because someone was being a real A-hole. Day-to-day,  the cops walk in on some pretty wild situations, and since naturally no one wants to be arrested, they hear some pretty dumb excuses. Here are some surprising times a weird excuse actually turned out to be the real deal; from police themselves and people who were stopped.

Here's to those who took the idea of public service and kicked it up a notch. Here's a batch of cops protecting and serving in their communities. Kinda weird seeing them be cool and not asking you how fast you were going. For funny stories, here are some of the dumbest things people said to cops.

Calling the cops on your own blood, hot damn! On the one hand, she was completely abused the offer to use his car, and used it longer than he offered. But also, did she know she'd get arrested if she didn't give it back? Seems kind of like a waste of police resources. Isn't there a way to solve issues among your own family without getting the police involved?  This guy asked the internet if he was a jerk for disowned his sister for marrying his childhood bully.

Police sometimes get overzealous with boasting about underwhelming drug busts, and the savage people of facebook are hardly ever kind to them. People are fond of roasting terribly ancient guns too. This time people had some hard hitting jokes, as well as pretty decent points about the ridiculous nature of this particular bust.

Police in Galveston, Texas issued an apology after their officers on horseback were seen leading a black man by rope through the streets on Saturday. The 43-year-old man Donald Neely was arrested for criminal trespassing after having been warned by the cops a few times. 

Police claim that the two patrolmen didn't have any "malicious intent", and hadn't tied his hands with rope, but the picture circulating on news outlets suggests otherwise, and actually, it really just confirms that this was an unbelievable kind of cruel. 

The attorney for Mr. Neely's family says that the man is homeless and bipolar. His family hadn't seen him for several years until the photo went viral online.
