A few Kentucky cops went viral for mourning the loss of a truckload of doughnuts.
The driver of a Krispy Kreme doughnut truck noticed his vehicle was smoking on New Year's Eve, so he called 911.
And while the driver was able to safely escape before fire crews arrived and flames engulfed the truck, the doughnuts didn't make it.

"No words," the officers wrote, and their colleagues from across the nation - from Colorado to Chicago - were quick to respond with messages of support.
