The Wilkes-Barre Township Police Department is facing scrutiny after some Facebook users were offended by memes on a topless beach post.

It started when the department posted an advisory from local government in Ocean City, Maryland.

"Even though Ocean City isn't in Pennsylvania, many of our residents do travel to Ocean City, MD during the summer months," the post said. "We have come across several posts on social media regarding the ability for women to go topless on the beach and want to make sure our residents don't find themselves in trouble."

The conversation took a different turn in the comments section. Facebook user Mike Smith noted the post was an opportunity for jokes, and the police department responded in kind.

That offended Facebook users Lois Ann and Timothy Runkle, who said the meme of a topless woman covering her chest as a man asked for a high five was "unprofessional."

Several Facebook users defended the police department as having a sense of humor, but Lois Ann wasn't convinced. She said the posts were immature.

The police department disagreed.

The conversation continued in the comments section among users and the department, with police continuing to share memes. The one below said, "Show me where on the doll where our Facebook posts hurt you."

And then this exchange happened: Facebook user Kelly O'Brien said, "I'm just curious, if a woman politely declined to put a top on, would she be arrested?" And the police department responded with a meme that said, "I see you like to live dangerously. I too like to live dangerously."
