Twenty minutes later, three hundred totally coincidental Pony On Earth stories were admitted into evidence · 7:58pm Oct 9th, 2014
So a pony walks into a police station...
Well, there you go. Clearly the invasion has begun and they're scouting out our law enforcement so they'll know just where to strike first in their attempt to kill us all. Or so roughly fifty of those stories will claim.
...that was an underestimate, wasn't it?
I'd be tempted to turn this into an Official Story Prompt Contest if I had any ability to do so. 'Pony walks into a police station. Minimum of one thousand words. First prize is... the ability to say you won first prize. Go!' Fortunately, unlike the Princesses, I have no shortage of people around me ready to declare when I've just had a Really Bad Idea.
(Psst! That's your cue!)
Time required for the Comments on that article to go hyper-partisan: Too Late. (Estimated chance of fandom blame with associated social corruption claim: 40%.)
(Insert joke about how if it was a unicorn instead of an earth pony, the police would have listened to its complaint).
Pipsqueak has grown into a fine young stallion.
BTW that's was pretty much my head canon for how our little ponies are sized compared to humans so that was doubly adorable (I dont like the tiny dog-size-horse thing most authors go for).
You should go ahead with the writing contest, it's bound to happen anyway.
Well, that certainly happened.
Not getting any ideas on the story front... wait, I tell a lie. I'm imagining the situation reversed, with a random chimpanzee somehow wandering out of the Fillydelphia Zoo and into a nearby police station. Cue the banana puns.
Well I'm the overnight dispatcher for my town's police station, and tonight is the first day of the week for me. I think this is a sign from the universe that I need to write this.

How many calls from ponies do you usually get?
Actually a dispatcher getting a call from an Equestrian pony sounds like an idea for a story already, lol.
2521170
That... is beautiful.
2521223 Those calls are usually directed to the Sheriff's Office as we only handle calls inside the city lines.

(Naturally ponies in my state live outside city limits

Yes, but clearly that pony had just smuggled himself across an unsecured border in order to geld all the humans while simultaneously infecting them with a fatal virus which would force them to legislate in favor of same-sex marriage.
...that made a lot more sense when (insert politician here) said it.
2521282
To be fair, if it was a unicorn, I doubt any politician could see it.
2521282 I hate (Insert politician here) because (my favorite "news" blog) has informed me they are in the pocket of (special interests I don't support). I'm not sure what Insert actually said, but it was wrong.
2521268 That pony is lucky they weren't shot, police thought it was reaching into its mane to pull out a party cannon.

Turns out the pony had a concealed firearms license.
2521314 I think you mean a concealed fireforelegs license.
2521318
It's a concealed firemouths license if you want to be nitpicky about it.

Don't be naive. That only happens to pink ponies.
Celestia got lost on the way to the Mirror Universe.
Luna got lost trying to find Celestia, and is asking for help. In full Royal Canterlotian Voice.
Twilight Sparkle. Spell misfire. Cops are trying to figure out exactly who they call due to the property damage.
Rarity tries to "fix" a whole bunch of poorly attired female humans. Does pretty well except for the whole assault and theft thing. Rarity replies that she did pay for the fabric and materials (in bits!) and if you'd seen what that one girl was wearing you'd be arresting her for visual assault...
Fluttershy is lost, and just wants to go home. Or, there was an incident at a circus. They think the Lion trainer will make a full recovery.
Applejack finds out about applejack. Drunk shennagans ensue.
Rainbow Dash tries to do a Soinc Rainboom over town. Nobody was hurt, but all the broken windows have to be paid for first...
Pinkie Pie has always been here. Always. And, it's your birthday today!
2521337 So what, now we're telling pink ponies they have to trim their manes? Police need to learn not to shoot first, party later.
2521282 And, if you believe that, I have some propery in Gelding Grotto to sell you...

That pink pony was a gang member! Her smile was very aggressive!
2521361 To be fair, I've seen her smile, it is indeed very aggressive.
Hmm. I've already done one one-shot where a pony is confronted by a police officer (she's in human form as a disguise, though), and another where Lyra is tased.
I might be able to work something out. I've built stories off crazier prompts.

Isn't that what the dragons get?
I really wish the video posted had sound to go with it. I would have dearly loved to hear the reaction of the people in the video
I love how despite not having anything to do with MLP, there's a bunch of horse puns in there anyway. Equines are just naturally punny, I suppose.
Pony walks into a police station and promptly gets shot because law enforcement agencies are complete dicks
No offense to anyone who's part of a law enforcement agency...
Hah. That guy just wanted to say hi and make friends. Notice he goes right to the officer willing to interact with him? Must be boring out on the meadow all night.
2521402
Those aren't concealed, though.
2521170 So damned true...
Well, it took twenty days instead of twenty minutes, but here y'all are:
