A police officer's job might be to serve and protects, but occasionally, even a protector of the law needs a little time off, even in the middle of a shift! That being said, it should come to no surprise that a couple of officers decided to interrupt their routine for a little neighborhood fun.
People from Asheville, North Carolina, decided they would honor Independence Day with a delightful slip’n slide. These people had a block party where everyone could have fun, especially the kids. However, not all of them were in the proper spirit that morning. Someone told the police that the slide blocked the traffic and made too much racket. After receiving a call, Asheville police officers quickly arrived at the scene.
Luckily, the police had other plans for the slip-n-slide’, let’s say a much more fun idea. Instead of shutting down the slide, they decided to have some fun on the slide. Amazing, right?
Video of North Carolina police officers enjoying a slip-n-slide with children in Asheville on July 2 has gone viral. Katlen Joyce Smith, who lives in Asheville, told local media that the slide was built for children in the block over the July 4 weekend but officers arrived on the scene after it was reported for blocking the road. The officers quickly established there was no problem and asked to join in the fun.
“When the female officer asked for a garbage bag, we almost didn’t believe it. But she took off her radio and went for it,” Katlen told a news outlet, when senior officer Carrie Lee, who initially responded to the scene with her colleague officer Joe Jones. Officer Jones also wanted in on the fun, but the black garbage bags wouldn't fit him, so one of the neighborhood kids brought an inflatable raft so that he could have some fun as well!
This video shows Officer Joe Jones filming colleague Carrie Lee taking on the slide. We are glad that the cops used proper judgment, unlike the neighbor who hates fun and decided to call the police on a slip 'n slide. Hey Police, thank you for your service. Be safe out there. We salute them, and we are thankful for the community police and how great they work their jobs.
It’s incredible that there are people out there like these two officers. What do you think about there good deed? Tell us below in our comment section!
