Social media is buzzing after police officers were caught on camera repairing potholes on a major highway, leaving netizens both shocked and amused. The unusual sight of law enforcement trading batons for shovels has sparked debates across the country.
Many praised the officers for taking civic responsibility into their own hands, with tweets hailing them as “heroes” and “unsung public servants.” Others, however, questioned why road authorities weren’t doing their job, with hashtags like #PoliceFixPotholes and #WhoMaintainsOurRoads trending.
The viral footage shows the officers filling holes and smoothing surfaces, a scene rarely associated with policing. Some social media users joked that this could be the start of a new kind of “traffic law enforcement”, while others saw it as a symbol of public service going beyond the call of duty.
While reactions are mixed, one thing is clear: these officers have captured the imagination of the internet, proving that sometimes the law isn’t just about arrests — it’s about action too.
