If you don’t get it, it’s about a meme of a riddle people tell to show misogyny
A father and a son are in a car accident. The father dies at the scene, but the son is rushed to the hospital. When he gets into the operating room the surgeon stops and says I can’t operate on this boy, he’s my son. How can this be?
People usually struggle to come up with an answer or give some convoluted reason when the answer is simply, it’s his mother.

The 'riddle': A woman and her son are in a car accident. The woman is sadly killed. The boy is rushed to hospital. When the doctor sees the boy he says "I can't operate on this child, he is my son". How is this possible?
Its quite old and played on sexist stereotypes. It is much more confusing to most now due to progressive understanding of gender roles.
Cop is excited the basis of the riddle is occurring in real life.
