Drivers Get Pulled Over and Think Police Officers Are Giving Tickets. Nope Just Giving.

With Christmas right around the corner, Lowell Police Chief Steve Bukala chose to turn routine traffic stops into personalized and heartwarming memories.

At first, one woman who gets pulled over thinks she’s about to get a ticket. Then, the officer asks:

Got all your Christmas shopping done? When the woman responds that she “hasn’t even started” and is unable to afford some of the things her kids want, the officer calls in the cavalry.

A few minutes later, the woman discovers why. And all she can manage to do is give the officer a big hug.

I think the goal is somewhere around 3.5 if my memory serves me correctly. That number of “interactions” with the public on a yearly basis is the sweet spot for statistical Gruber-esque modeling of the peak of activity vs. productivity in the urban policing bidness.

I know, I know. I’m being a party-pooper to an emotional display of good will. Along with the good will of this story is the feeling I get of nails across a chalkboard.

I think this is an attempt at damage control to show people that cops are human too. . . the only meme they didn't hit was the driver wasn't black. . . but some of the elves doing the shopping were.

You didn’t watch far enough into the video.

Despite the protests of the FR angry caucus, there are actually places where people have a good relationship with their local cops.

Come on, fess up, Vendome. By any chance do you work in Washington, DC? Maybe in the House of Representatives? The crying part gave you away.

I’m closely related to John Boehner but, I have a real tan, striking blue eyes and a wit that doesn’t stop.
