Donut Question?

Question

Does anyone know why they associate police with donuts? just curious

Answer 1

Back in the 1920's donut shops were open all night, therefore they had a lot of money, so they were one of the most likely places to be robbed, so cops would stay at  donuts shops to watch for robbers. A cop told me that a couple of years ago at school.

Answer 2

That!!! Is a very good question though!!!

Answer 3

They just like donuts? idk!

that is a good question....

Answer 4

because police are fat and donuts are fattening

Answer 5

donuts have a lot of sugar in them(some people just don't know) it's probably for staying awake on late night work or for just the enjoyment of ultimate donut sweetness

"_^-^_"

Answer 6

Police officers need food that won't go bad in the patrol car if they get interrupted while eating by a call.

Donuts fill that need, as do most baked goods.  

Cold hamburger's just not as much fun.

Answer 7

um have no clue. maybe cause theres police that stay up till morning catching bad guys? haha, no clue, sorry

Answer 8

I heard it's because the officers just need a place to fill out thier paper work so they would hang out at donut shops because you can get a cup of coffee and a few donuts and sit there for hours doing paper work (lol or pretending to do paper work anyways).  So after a while cops kept getting noticed at donut shops and the stigma stayed.

Answer 9

sugar rushes make you awake i guess..........

Answer 10

That's interesting, Gandhi!  I thought it was because the donut people come to work at o-dark-thirty and they were the only place a cop could get something to eat.
