Neighbour Calls Police To Shut Down This Illegal Slip’N Slide, But Things Don’t Go As Planned

These days, cops in the States tend not to make the news for good reasons, but this story from Asheville, North Carolina, is sure to make you smile.
The town’s 4th of July celebrations were just getting underway, with a large slip’n slide headlining one neighborhood block party. One resident, who clearly wasn’t in the mood for fun, called the cops to shut it all down, citing concerns that the slip’n slide was blocking traffic and lodging a noise complaint. When the cops arrived, it was immediately clear that everything was actually in order, so they did what any sane person would do – they jumped on and went for a slide.
“When the female officer asked for a garbage bag, we almost didn’t believe it. But she took off her radio and went for it,” resident Katlen Joyce Smith told ABC News about senior officer Carrie Lee, who responded at the scene with officer Joe Jones. One of the local kids fetched a large raft for Jones, who couldn’t fit into a garbage bag, and he dove in just the same. “They had such good energy. All the kids were loving it,” said Travis Eagledove, another resident.
The fun-loving cops have now gone viral across multiple news outlets and social media sites. Scroll down to see the hilarious story unfold!

What a fucking sour ass neighbor. That neighbor probably doesn't have fun in his life so he doesn't want anyone else to have it either.
I bet the neighbor is so uptight, that he irons his toilet paper before using it.
I bet he eats coal and poops diamonds
It seems that nowadays we are not that tolerant for kids to be just kids. Gone are the days when the kids in the neighborhood are a kid's playmates. We live in a complex that is supposed to be family friendly as most of us new homeowners have small kids. The complex' courtyard is sitting empty not used for picnics or for kids to explore because everytime kids in the neighborhood were playing a sourpuss neighbor always yelled at them and complained to strata.
There's one in every damn neighborhood. I'm glad the police weren't having any of it!
And, he must be a really bad driver too, he claimed that they were blocking the road, but you could get a bus through there!
XD my butt got wet. Future cops will always bring a swimsuit
Not just bring a swimsuit, they're gonna wear one underneath their uniform
