In a "Not, The Onion"-esque story, CBS local affiliate in Boston reports that the Braintree Police Department showed that not all cops are African-American-hating, humorless-monsters, as they jokingly (we assume) told residents that they should “hold off” on any crimes they are planning this weekend.
In a Facebook post, they wrote:

The post was signed:
“Sincerely, The PoPo.
PS: please no spoiler alerts. We’re just finishing season 2.”
Maybe Chicago PD should consider the same message?
