🐐🚔 Tuscaloosa PD Cracks the Case of the Great Goat Getaway 🚔🐐
Anyone in Tuscaloosa missing a four-legged escape artist? A rogue goat was spotted on Feb. 22 making its way from downtown Northport, crossing the Lurleen B. Wallace Boulevard bridge, and touring the TDOT building before finally being “taken into custody” by Animal Control. 😆
After an hour-long chase, officers managed to safely capture the exhausted (but unharmed) runaway. While many have requested a mugshot, TPD has yet to release one—perhaps to protect the goat’s right to remain silent. 😂
If this is your goat, contact Animal Control before he plans his next great escape!

🚨 HOW CAN WE PROTECT THE PUBLIC IF WE’RE NOT PROTECTED OURSELVES?! 🚨
Every day, officers put their lives on the line, but when they need support, they’re met with silence. Criminals are given free passes while officers are demonized for doing their jobs.
Enough is enough.
If you want safer streets, you need brave men and women willing to stand that line. But the way things are going? Officers are leaving in droves. And who will be left to answer the call when there’s no one left behind the badge?
📢 It’s time for leaders to wake up and stand with law enforcement.

In a moment of danger, two NYPD officers are being hailed as heroes for their swift actions in Times Square. Sgt. Hameed Armani and Officer Peter Cybulski were on duty when a man threw a suspicious package onto their van's dashboard. Realizing the potential threat, they immediately acted to protect the public, driving the van out of the busy area and into a safer location.
Despite fearing for their own lives, both officers knew they had to keep others out of harm's way. After safely evacuating pedestrians and contacting the Bomb Squad, thankfully they discovered the package was harmless — a red candle and lantern wrapped in foil.
