23+ Times Police Surprised Everyone With Their Sense Of Humor 0
Cops get it pretty tough these days. Negative stories about a few bad apples in the police force hog the headlines, while the small, everyday heroic acts that officers undertake to keep us safe are often taken for granted. Sometimes we forget what a tough and dangerous job they have, and at the end of the day, they are normal people too!
So to keep spirits up, police have to have a pretty good sense of humor. And if you check out this list compiled by Bored Panda, you will see that they most certainly do. From poking fun at their donut-based stereotypes, to ingeniously creative and funny social media ‘warnings,’ scroll down below to see the ultimate examples of good cop.

Police in Montana are passing out turkeys instead of tickets this month
Residents in Billings, Montana, who were pulled over for minor traffic violations last week have a reason to feel extra grateful this Thanksgiving season.
Thanks to an anonymous local businessman, 20 lucky residents were issued a frozen turkey—along with a warning—rather than a ticket when pulled over by police for minor violations like speeding or rolling through a stop sign.

Some commenters on the department’s Facebook page weren’t sure it was appropriate to reward drivers for breaking the law but others saw it as a kind gesture during the holiday season.
“You should give a turkey to every driver you see who is not on their phone while driving,” one resident suggested.
Good work and example of agent kindness and humanity! 👍🙏😇👑. Congratulations.

But Lieutenant Neil Lawrence assured ABC News that the residents pulled over were still issued a warning and were told what they could do to improve their driving.
This was the first year that the department made the Thanksgiving gesture.
“The individuals that received the warnings and the turkeys have been very happy,” Lawrence said. “Our Facebook page has received a lot of positive comments regarding it. So far it’s been a very positive thing for the community.”

When the time had come for Margaret Ng’s 4-year-old son Ethan to finally receive a service dog, she knew she wanted to make the reveal a special surprise.
Ethan, who has autism as well as attention deficit hyperactivity, has been waiting over two years to acquire a special companion to help him go about his daily life. With the help of the community, the police, and the fire department, they were able to raise the nearly $60,000 required to cover the costs of a service animal.
Ethan had no idea he was about to meet his new best friend, but once Yazzie the Golden Retriever stepped out of the police car, his face lit up.
(via Inside Edition)
