Police play with the stereotype of their supposed love
of donuts, and as a bonus also mention the five-second rule.
Brookhaven, GA, Police Department
26 November 2019
Just moments ago, your BrookhavenPolice officers
answered the call each of us fears most. Dozens of donuts fell from a Krispy
Kreme delivery truck as it drove along Peachtree Road. BPD rushed to the scene,
but to no avail. We found total carnage; donuts scattered along the curb and
into gutter- THE GUTTER, people!!! The response time was stellar, but we couldn’t
beat the 5 second rule. We are deeply saddened to report that the donuts were a
total loss. As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time, and the
senseless loss of these delicious pastries has deeply affected all of our
officers. We ask that you keep our department in your thoughts and prayers as
we mourn this terrible moment.
