@rgarner Don't know if this story is a joke or if the police were a joke, but there is a precedent. Some years ago, wise-ass young Chinese on social media were referring to Kim Jung Un as "Jin San Pang", which translates to "Kim Three Fat". The North Korean government got China to ban this term, but Mandarin has lots of homonyms, so the wise guys would make up phrases with different characters but that would be pronounced the same.
