Quincy Police Sergeant Goes Viral for Unexpected Reason

Sergeant Kyle Hatch of the Quincy Police Department just got a promotion, but the internet has him going viral for a reason he probably didn't see coming.

It's not the Quincy, Massachusetts police, but you'll forgive us for thinking this could be a very "Masshole" haircut.

The Promotion Announcement That Started It All

Sgt. Hatch has served the police department in Quincy, Illinois as a patrol officer and field training officer for the past 18 years. He started the new year off with a much-deserved promotion to Sergeant.

From his photo, he appears to fit the role perfectly. The announcement on the Quincy Police Department Facebook page would have received a simple "like" from me, and I would move on. However, it's the comment section that has grabbed people's attention.

He appears to be a man of stature and authority, but the keyboard warriors have been relentless in commenting on his choice of hairstyle. Caleb Bell, for example, said, "He should give his barber a ticket."
