Everybody just chill.
The St. Louis Police Department wants to reach out to the community, but you aren’t likely to hear groups like Black Lives Matter talk about it.
An ice cream truck, dubbed “Operation Polar Cops,” will be at events throughout the city handing out free ice cream, KMOV reported.
Today we will unveil Operation Polar Cops! Free ice cream & treats coming to a neighborhood near YOU! #STLPolarCops pic.twitter.com/3malT1798E

The idea is to promote positive interaction between the police and community, according to a press release obtained by KMOV.
Judging by some of the comments on social media, it is not having the desired effect.
Keep your ice cream. I’ll take life instead. Just stop killing Black ppl & we’ll be good. https://t.co/ypCpv1CWTI #philanthropy
