Police in Charlton, Massachusetts have warned residents of the small town about a roving gang of battle rappers who jump out of their vehicles and challenge innocent bystanders to "spit some bars."

They did so in this Facebook post.

After much ridicule, the cops posted a clarification, saying "We are not investigating Rap music being sung in Charlton," but rather just a specific case in which a gang of battle rappers intimidated younger kids with their challenges.

Nevertheless, we wouldn't want to be the guy who had been talking about our mixtape in Charlton right before a fire breaks out.
