A viral video shows a police officer in Prince George's County, a county in Maryland that borders Washington, D.C., taking what appears to be a young woman into the back of his police cruiser in broad daylight while kids play just feet away. It's unclear what the officer and young woman did in the back of the cruiser.

One X user pointed out, "Across the playground in broad daylight is wildd levels of horny."
"Prince George's County Police sure do love black booty right in front of the immigrants and the kids," another said.
Someone said, "It's a PG County cop and folks are acting shocked my this..."
"In broad daylight where kids were playing at that smh. He couldn't drive down the street?! And that girl looked MAD YOUNG to me. This is so foul smfh," X user said.
The Prince George's officer is taking 'protect and serve' to a whole other level. None of this is shocking in the Democratic stronghold county that borders DC.
