This morning, Portland Police picked up a 3-foot-long snake that “looked scared” in downtown Portland. According to the press release, they put it in a tub and then handed it over to Animal Control. But, according to this video the PPB just posted, they forgot to mention a step in between: Cracking jokes at the snake’s expense. I feel like this definitely was the highlight of the bureau’s day. Look! Even Police Chief Mike Reese took part.
