The Mobile Police Department in Alabama issued an apology after a Facebook post went viral showing two of its officers posing for a photo next to a “homeless quilt” made up of carboard signs that had been confiscated from panhandlers. “Wanna wish everybody in 4th precinct a Merry Christmas, especially our captain. Hope you enjoy our homeless quilt! Sincerely, Panhandler patrol,” the original Facebook post from Sunday read. It has since been deleted.
