Boosting this warning!
Oh, shit. Really?
If you’re nearby, especially if you’re white, you should stick around and have your camera out.
Snopes says the cops in the photo here claim it was a hot day, and they were trying to prevent the cars overheating, but 1) Cops can lie and 2) Even if these cops DID have a good reason, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are others out there with less honest intentions.
Keep an eye out, and be safe.
snopes: we asked the cops if these cops were up to no good and they said that they weren’t so it turns out that everything’s fine and there’s nothing to see here
Oh absolutely
Yeah lemme just block the road with my hood up to cool down my car….
Fun fact: cop cars are performance machines that use high tech parts to maintain power and reliability (the cops are lying)
Unless you live in the depths of literal hell your car isn’t gonna be phased by hot weather. If it’s overheating you have another issue.
Other fun fact: generally a bad idea to open your hood if your car is smoking unless you have an extinguisher or the fire dept on hand. On the off chance something is on fire - air+fire = more fire.
