The world has a sense of irony, indeed.
On Thursday night, Hoover City Administrator Allan Rice shared a quick story of something that happened earlier in the day — something lighthearted, but also telling.
Rice on Facebook posted two pictures of young activists — at least one who can be seen wearing a T-shirt featuring handwritten criticism of law enforcement — surrounding a car, obviously at a loss.
Apparently, as Rice explained, the group had spent the afternoon protesting the Hoover Police Department, but when they arrived back at their car to leave for the day, one tiny problem emerged: the keys were locked inside the vehicle.
Thankfully, the very people they were protesting were on-hand to help.
Showing their passion for public service and dedication to professionalism, at least two Hoover PD officers can be seen in one of the pictures as they work to gain access to the car’s interior.
Their efforts were ultimately successful, and the protesters were able to go on their way — all thanks to the officers.
“When you spend all afternoon protesting against Hoover Police Department and realize you locked your keys in the car, only to be rescued by…Hoover Police Department. Can’t make this stuff up,” Rice wrote.
