A photo circulating on social media this week has raised eyebrows across the community, and serious concerns about professional conduct inside the Lubbock Police Department.
The image, shared widely on Facebook and submitted to Lubbock Sucks, appears to show a uniformed Lubbock police officer relieving himself in public behind his patrol SUV. The incident reportedly took place in broad daylight behind Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church near the 550 block of Gary Ave, shockingly close to a school zone and a public sidewalk.
The officer’s vehicle is clearly marked with the LPD insignia, and the photo suggests the act occurred without regard for visibility or surroundings.
Community members have voiced strong reactions online, especially given the location’s proximity to pedestrian walkways and nearby businesses. Many expressed frustration over what they see as a double standard, pointing out that a civilian caught urinating in public would likely face fines or legal consequences, raising questions about accountability within local law enforcement.
So far, the Lubbock Police Department has not released an official statement addressing the photo or the officer’s identity. Public trust, already strained by other recent events, faces another test.
