Cops beg people not to commit crimes during polar vortex
2019-01-30
[NYPOST] Bundle up ‐ and don’t rob anyone!

That’s what a Missouri police department is begging people to do as a polar vortex creeps up on the area.

"So... we are asking a favor (at least for three days); can you keep the criminalling to a minimum?" the Warrensburg Police Department quipped on Facebook Monday. "It is REALLY cold out... do yourself (and us) a favor... stay inside. Be nice to each other."

The cops suggested people watch reruns of the TLC reality show "Say Yes to the Dress," joking, that they "hear from the firefighters that it’s a really good show."

Their post, shared over 3,000 times, prompted responses from hundreds of users.

"What if we criminal out of town?" joked Kyle Hookey II.

Kayla Johnson pointed out that "This is the kind of weather for planning criminal activity, not executing said activity. Duh."

#4  My sister, who lived in Delaware, remarked that after a month of low hanging grey clouds people start getting "nasty" and the homicide/assault rates went up and up... Cabin fever forecast for Chi-Town?

#2  50 below in Chicago should reduce the murder rate.

It makes the numbers for the current month look great, but it creates pent-up demand which will be released on the first warm day of spring.
