For the uninitiated, Bangalore City Police’s Twitter handle is pretty boss. It’s weirdly reminiscent of a stern parent who goes wild every now and then. Admit it, the first time your parent uttered the word, dude, you must have been surprised. Well, that’s pretty much how we feel when the Bangalore City Police uses memes, makes pop culture references and what’s worse, cracks dad jokes.
Anyone who doesn’t know how bad dad jokes are should just watch the Obama sisters grimace while their father, the former leader of the free world, talked about turkeys.
Anyway coming back to the point, the Bangalore City Police wants to be the cool dad. The dad who knows pop culture; the dad who can tell you who Walter White is and why Drake and Rihanna should always be together. So in an effort to reach out to “youngsters,” the Bangalore City Police displays its cool quotient by making references to Game of Thrones, Star Wars and the legendary movie of the 00s, The Matrix.
Who doesn’t like Luke Skywalker? Literally nobody. That’s why the Bangalore City Police wants you to be a jedi.
Be a Skywalker instead. Please use the Skywalk.#GameOfLife #JustBCPThings pic.twitter.com/KgAMzYISyV

What Jon knows now...

Also, the Bangalore City Police has basically suggested that Keanu Reeves isn’t immortal. His stunts in the Matrix are computer generated because obviously who would survive a riding style like this?
It was at this very moment they knew, they shouldn't have brought their circus to the streets.

Star Wars, Game of Thrones and The Matrix have something in common. They’re movies that late twenty somethings binge watch all the time. So if you’re just a teenager who's afraid the police might catch you for being a pest, then worry not. The Bangalore City Police is busy trying to school late twenty somethings in road safety and a healthy lifestyle.
If your dealer did not reach you with your stash, this is probably why. Don't worry, you can come to the Police Station and collect it. pic.twitter.com/wqxPvmvxQo
