LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (WLKY) — Louisville Metro Police are getting some serious attention on X (formerly Twitter).
The city got some big snow over the weekend, and during that time, while the department was active in the community, it also got active on social media.
In the last 24 hours, LMPD has tweeted around 100 times, delivering some serious sass.
They did a lot of roasting of drivers.
They did provide a few updates on road conditions and snow routes.
And they also showed some videos of officers helping stranded drivers and having a little fun in the snow.
Some of the tweets have thousands of likes and millions of views.
The mayor was asked about the snarky tweets during his Monday news conference, and he appeared to show support:
“They take their jobs incredibly seriously. And so nobody should be confused with the clearly and obviously humorous tone of some comments that they’ve been making online, with the serious nature of their work and the seriousness which every one of our LMPD officers takes,” Mayor Craig Greenberg said.
So, will their social media continue to be “unhinged?” (as LMPD called it)
Unclear, but based on the 26,000+ votes they have on an X poll, it just might.
