Leroy Bruce is upset with his neighbor's Wi-Fi

You'll want to sit down for this one.

A Southeast Portland man is reportedly upset upon discovering one of his neighbors named their Wi-Fi network "All cops are buttholes." And he's taken to NextDoor, a hyperlocal community social network, to air his frustrations.

A poster who goes by the name Leroy Bruce published the story of his 10-year-old grandson discovering the network while connecting to the house internet. The boy began to cry upon reading the access point's name.

Bruce reportedly had to explain that all cops are not, in fact, "buttholes."

"Is there any way I could possibly block this signal or possibly call the non emergency police and have them go over and give them a stern warning," Bruce wrote.

Here's the rest of his screed (if he even exists):

The posting was shared on Twitter by user @DoHimJob and has since earned more than 1,300 likes and 473 retweets. The post has also solicited some entertaining — and thought-provoking — responses.

Here are some of the best:

It might be a little too fair, if you ask us.

And finally, a short grammar lesson:

Don't Edit

Dear internet,



"All cops are not buttholes" does not mean the same thing as "Not all cops are buttholes". The former means that there are no butthole cops, the latter that there is some non-butthole cop (but possibly also some butthole cop).

Earlier this week, NextDoor told Willamette Week that sharing posts with reporters violated its terms of service. The social network said a violation was grounds for expulsion.

We wish Leroy Bruce the best.
