Police officers get it pretty tough these days. Negative stories about a few bad apples in the police force hog the headlines, while the small, everyday heroic acts that officers undertake to keep us safe are often taken for granted. Sometimes we forget what a tough and dangerous job they have, and at the end of the day, they are normal people too!
So to keep spirits up, police have to have a pretty good sense of humor. And if you check out this list filled with police humor compiled by Bored Panda, you will see that they most certainly do. From funny jokes about the donut-based stereotypes to ingeniously creative and funny social media ‘warnings,’ scroll down below to see the ultimate examples of police jokes. Don’t forget to upvote your favorites too!

Police Are Savage
Robbin Eckart 6 years ago
Civil Forfeiture is legal theft. Research it. They can take large amounts of cash without a crime happening. Don't get caught going to buy a car with a thousand in your pocket or car. They will take it and say you were going to use it to buy drugs. Then you have you have to go to court and fight to get it back. Prove it was yours from legal means.

Legal theft and people are haha-ing it up. It is an awful practice. Parents have lost a home due to a teen selling drugs from it. People traveling with cash have to go to court to and prove where it came from. Even without a criminal charge. Just YouTube watch Civil Forfeiture. John Oliver has a good episode on it. It is a gross act. A government over reach.
