These cops are making people’s Thanksgiving by handing out turkeys instead of tickets
A wonderful act of kindness in the holiday season.
A police force in the US is treating members of the public to free Thanksgiving turkeys instead of issuing tickets.
Operation Peacemaker saw officers from the Laredo Police Department in Texas hand out turkeys instead of traffic tickets.
In the video one woman can be seen weeping as the police officer, speaking Spanish, tells her she is not getting a ticket.
The turkeys were donated by a local business that wished to remain anonymous, but that didn’t stop the police chief from praising his officers.
“The officers came up with the idea and that commitment to the betterment and service to our community is what makes me proudest to be the head of such a dedicated and compassionate group of officers.”
So far, the officers have handed out 25 turkeys.
