ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Not all the neighbors were happy their street was cordoned off for a yearly Fourth of July block party, so they called police.
This year, parents built a water slide for the children, according to WLOS.
Police officers responded, addressed neighbors’ concerns and stressed safety - then joined in the fun.
Video shows an officer and a child testing out the slide after ensuring it was far enough off the road so vehicles could also pass.
