A video of what 40 Kansas City police officers did at local St. Patrick's Day parade is quickly going viral.
It seemed like a normal parade at first, there was a somewhat rambunctious crowd, but the situation was certainly nonthreatening. As the music grew louder and louder, no one expected to see these cops group together and do what they did. But as soon as it started, all of the news crews and photographers rushed to press the "record" button on their fancy cameras.
Even regular citizens picked up their phones and began to take photographic evidence of what exactly was occurring during that parade.
With all the recent bad publicity, it seems that everyone is expecting police officers to be evil, power-hungry, corrupt villains. Far too often people have the tendency to forget that police officers are people, too! Just like the cop who was captured singing Taylor Swift's hit "Shake it off," People seem to forget that these people put their lives on the line every day to protect us.
Sometimes they have to make difficult, split-second decisions — and yes, it's easy to pass judgment on those decisions from the safety of our own homes, but far too often we forget that these police officers have incredibly stressful jobs, and all they want in any potentially dangerous situation is for everyone, themselves included, to be able to return to their families safe and sound.
So check out this video below, and let all the cops you know that you're thankful for what they do!
