Several photos of Gainesville police officers working through Hurricane Irma had generated thousands of hilarious comments about how good-looking they were. Some Sarasota officers couldn't resist the throw-down:

“….Gainesville Police Department has nothing on us...”

On Tuesday, the Gainesville Police Department promised there would be a calendar to raise funds for Hurricane Irma recovery. Perhaps they will feature the Sarasota officers one month.

“Not bad, SPD. They don't have awesome hair...but they'll do :)”

Warning: You may want to read the comments someplace where you can kill some time and laugh out loud.
