Sometimes the unexpected happens...

"So neighbours called the cops on us and now we fighting them," Jovante Williams posted on Facebook and Twitter, along with a video and photo that have been shared thousands of times.

If more cops saw themselves as problem solvers and peace officers, so many of these situations would turn out positive like this.

Good for these guys.

Heartwarming and good PR for the department.

They could be wrong about the amount of noise they are making.

Oh, that's a relief. I clicked on this thread expecting someone to have gotten shot.

Ahhh, but they also could be correct.

Ahhh, but they also could be correct.

Which, if you read the story, is what the security guard thought of the whole situation.

 

[Diablo]

I want to know who won, the cops or the bad other guys?

They were probably audible if not too loud, whatever that means. Not like me, who almost my entire time I lived in an apartment like that I was not audible.

The only one who can stop a bad guy with a gun is a plumber with a mustache!

Same here. Also, 5 cops for a noise complaint seems a little extreme, no? Makes me wonder if the whole story has been a little exaggerated for (positive) effect. Nice story though. Reminds me one a while back where cops were called on kids throwing snowballs and joined in the snowball fight

That's child abuse!

The picture shows them all standing and playing with wired controllers.

But the Nintento Switch has wireless controllers only......

ETA: Never mind. I found out there's a way to connect Gamecube controllers to the Switch, and it looks like that's exactly what they're doing.

Seconded. We need more cops like these guys.

Laugh. It wasn't quite a "Payton Manning on SNL" type situation, as you might be picturing.

They do, all day every day.

You could be wrong about the amount of noise you made. Strange that you don't apply your own standards to yourself.
