A burnt-out donut truck made the police cry
The phrase that a truck with gingerbread will turn over on our street is familiar to everyone. Note — it will turn over, and not burn up with a load of goodies, as happened in Lexington, Kentucky. The donut truck that burned down there brought the courageous American cops to tears.
The American edition of Lexington Herald Leader drew the attention of Facebook users to the account of the state police. A selection of pictures of policemen posing with pitiful faces against the background of a burnt-out truck belonging to a donut company has appeared on a page belonging to the Langsington cops.
Over 60 thousand users of the social network shared this record during the day and the number of reposts continues to grow rapidly. As it turned out, the story with the donuts happened on the last day of the outgoing year. A truck driver with a treat, driving through Lexington, noticed smoke coming from under the car.
As it should be according to the instructions, the driver stopped the truck, informed 911 about the situation and started fighting the fire on his own. As a result of the incident, which was dealt with very quickly, people were not injured, but the car and its cargo were seriously damaged.
The police, who arrived at the scene, staged a comic photo shoot near the burned car. The company that owned the equipment and cargo, not only was not outraged by such an act of the guards, but also joined the joke itself.
The management of the company assured that they were mentally with them at such a difficult moment for the Langsington cops, and that a new batch of donuts was urgently sent to the city, instead of the burnt one.
All Americans perfectly understand the nuances of a joke with donuts, since in the United States there is a widespread stereotype that police officers eat exclusively donuts, washing them down with coffee.
