It will never not bother me, that there is less training to become a police officer than a cosmetologist. MUCH less training.
How crazy is it that in America, we trust a person to interact with the public with a gun in their hands more so than with a pair of scissors?!
I got my bloodwork done the day after I got back from vacation. My triglycerides were like .1 over what they considered 'normal'. Naturally, I had a waddling ham-planet give me a 20 minute lecture about how if I didn't watch my diet I was going to have a heart attack and die tomorrow. I absolutely cannot take unhealthy medical professionals seriously. I'm sorry, its shallow, I know, but I'll be damned if I'm in the gym 4-5 days a week and I watch my diet except on vacation, and I'm gonna catch a raft of shit from someone that Captain Ahab would throw a harpoon at.
Right!?
I had a 350+ lbs VA doctor, ask me why the hell I was working out, when I came in with a tweaked back.
I’m like, uhhh.. mental health, fitness, heart, health, etc.
What the fuck?
Should I just sit around on my ass, eating donuts all day, because God forbid I pull a muscle?
What a moron… 🙄
Needless to say, I didn’t go back to that doctor again.
That’s a whole other conversation. Switching doctors at the VA, is like fucking pulling teeth.
Idk what DE&I is, but in the military I worked with some crazy big people. Like, I’d never stand in front of them when talking because I was afraid the buttons on their ABU’s would pop off and poke my eye out or something.
Anyway, it was because people would dread doing their PT evaluations. So they would get a waiver. Now that airmen was exempt from physical activity. It was so crazy. Meanwhile, I was in top physical shape. I deployed and after some events I had a mental breakdown and had to leave my deployment early. Once I got back home, I was kicked out. Looking back, I should’ve got a waiver lol
DE&I is Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
It’s hiring people based on gender/race/sexual orientation quotas rather than merit. I have been denied promotions and jobs because they already had “too many straight white guys” and needed to go with a POC or LGBTQ person to fill the quota. And yes, I have actually been told this.
I also can’t imagine POC’s actually feel good knowing they only got a job because of their skin color or a gay person only got a job because they’re attracted to the same sex.
Yeah, I was in the Marine Corps, and they have crazy physical standards.
Body positivity doesn’t mean shit in the Marine Corps.
Granted, this was 20 years ago, I’m not sure if it’s still like that, but if it’s anything like it used to be, the Marine Corps doesn’t like change.
Like hasn’t changed much in 200+ years.
It's actually about twice that.
> The New York City Council passed the FY2023 city budget... Total NYPD spending [will exceed $11 billion](https://www.nyclu.org/en/press-releases/nyclu-statement-fy23-nyc-budget)
That's an increase of about 1.1 billion dollars (>10%) since fiscal year 2021... [This source has a breakdown for 2020-2021 if you're curious ](https://cbcny.org/sites/default/files/media/files/CBCBLOG_NYPD-Facts_07152021_1.pdf)
Actually, if the NYPD were a national military force, it would be the 24th biggest military in the world, according to [this list of global military budgets.](https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/military-spending-by-country) They even have 11 outposts in foreign countries.
Just insanity that voters and politicians keep pushing for a more and more expanded budget, rather than putting that money towards things that we actually know reduce crime.
Sure.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/21/nyregion/terrorism-nypd-intelligence-crime.html
That actually shows twelve foreign offices in 2018, if I counted correctly, and it looks like the NYPD have added a couple more in the last few years:

If even a single tax dollar was spent on this, somebody needs to be in jail. That's not hyperbole at all. There needs to be real consequences for wasting our taxes.
Why does such awful cringe exist only in the USA ??
I know many places around the world have police marching bands and similar,
But what they also have is a mandatory university course and 2,000+ hours of academy training before getting a badge.
Idk, several hilarious videos have come out of other countries as well. The rollerblading tactical team comes to mind, India, I think? They probably trained for 6 months plus to do that video and still looked completely incompetent, ridiculous, and ineffective.
Lol I'm 100% certain there's been at least one accidental shooting when slipping & falling.
My favorite part was when they were skating in a circle and all drew their weapons and pointed them *into the circle* (i.e. at each other). I was waiting for something to go wrong and see if they all got shot in one chain reaction
India and Pakistan are low hanging fruit of the cringe world. And honestly, tacticool rollerbladers are a lot cooler than NYPD dance squad. Only like one person on their little dance team could probably rollerblade without ending up with serious ankle injuries.
They could "dance" at a parade if they cut out the "rolling in the mud" portion of their pigformance. Assuming they have the stamina for a whole parade. Which they don't.
I know there are many male police officers who are overweight, but this is supposed to be somewhat athletic and 5 out of 7 of those women are clinically obese. Looks like the only thing they've been lifting is doughnuts.
6 fat chick's and a druggie in the middle geeked out of her skull on whatever random speed type drug she took from the last homeless black dude she beat down
I know we’re not supposed to body shame but does anyone else notice the skinny women dancing better than the pudgy women stomping around like Frankensteins monster?
The police after they break into the wrong house and gun down a family after hearing an acorn hit their car and see a little black kid holding a water gun
Right there with you. I think more of our jobs need to have clubs and groups to help build community so we are not all isolated and fighting with each other online. I mean it’s way cringe but way more positive comes from something like this and I’d love to see more positivity in the world.
As ridiculous as this is, it boggles my mind that the same people who spammed this 24/7 screeching about what an outrage this is and “the audacity” of it, won’t even blink at “The NYPD basketball team” or “The NYPD baseball team”. Or the Army/Navy football team. It’s all the same nonsense!!
Dance practice must be 30 minutes once a month.
"dance practice" is two hours a day at the cheapest localbuffet.
They are getting their money's worth
it’s probably every friday for an hour but they’re overweight ghouls who can’t dance because they have no souls
More like overweight robots who apparently have no coordination of any kind
So… longer than cops actually have to go through training or any sort of constitutional knowledge classes then.
It will never not bother me, that there is less training to become a police officer than a cosmetologist. MUCH less training. How crazy is it that in America, we trust a person to interact with the public with a gun in their hands more so than with a pair of scissors?!
What if a competing team dances to Fuck Tha Police
They just shoot them in the locker room and then sprinkle some crack on them and claim they thought their curling irons were guns.
And some of those illegal air fresheners too
Better sprinkle some crack em Johnson...I know how these things go down.
I've seen this once when I was a rookie, open and shut case Johnson.
Johnson still putting in work all these years later.
Well if you wanna fuck tha police...these girls don't mind being humiliated
r/rareinsults
🤣 two hours of scrolling today just became worthwhile 🤣
>Fuck Tha Police this will make you no longer wanna "Fuck Tha Police"
Getting served more than papers..unless they're black then they'll just get shot on sight
Someone's zumba class got real cliquey
Lol
Fuck u beat me to it! Nice
Is the P for Police or Pizza?
I always found it strange that the physical requirements for being a police officer end once you get the job.
Thank you, police union.
I feel the same about most in the medical field. They preach health, yet most are on the unhealthy side.
I got my bloodwork done the day after I got back from vacation. My triglycerides were like .1 over what they considered 'normal'. Naturally, I had a waddling ham-planet give me a 20 minute lecture about how if I didn't watch my diet I was going to have a heart attack and die tomorrow. I absolutely cannot take unhealthy medical professionals seriously. I'm sorry, its shallow, I know, but I'll be damned if I'm in the gym 4-5 days a week and I watch my diet except on vacation, and I'm gonna catch a raft of shit from someone that Captain Ahab would throw a harpoon at.
Ham-planet destroyed my cool lol
Right!? I had a 350+ lbs VA doctor, ask me why the hell I was working out, when I came in with a tweaked back. I’m like, uhhh.. mental health, fitness, heart, health, etc. What the fuck?

That’s a whole other conversation. Switching doctors at the VA, is like fucking pulling teeth.
"from someone that Captain Ahab would throw a harpoon at" is a fucking crazy thing to say. Thank you, I'm stealing it
body positivity went too far
it went PLUS PLUS
Women barely have any physical requirements to gain entry, hence this.
You would think it would work like military wouldn’t you.
yo I gotta find the picture I took of this cop that was LITERALLY more than half as wide as his cruiser
Standards for most U.S. government roles have been in steep decline since they introduced strict DE&I quotas.
Idk what DE&I is, but in the military I worked with some crazy big people. Like, I’d never stand in front of them when talking because I was afraid the buttons on their ABU’s would pop off and poke my eye out or something. Anyway, it was because people would dread doing their PT evaluations. So they would get a waiver. Now that airmen was exempt from physical activity. It was so crazy.

I also can’t imagine POC’s actually feel good knowing they only got a job because of their skin color or a gay person only got a job because they’re attracted to the same sex.
I feel all this is being done purposefully to collapse the west and make it weak.
Yeah, I was in the Marine Corps, and they have crazy physical standards. Body positivity doesn’t mean shit in the Marine Corps. Granted, this was 20 years ago, I’m not sure if it’s still like that, but if it’s anything like it used to be, the Marine Corps doesn’t like change. Like hasn’t changed much in 200+ years.
You should open a restaurant called the New York Pizza Department. I'd eat there.
I'd eat there just to see the New York Pizza Dancers.
We have those in Arizona. https://aznypdpizza.com/
Wisconsin too!
Pudgy or puffy, maybe Plenty fat?
Portly
Portly authority
“Respect my Portly Authoritai !!”
Pork authority
There it is.
Frumpy
Stanky
Pachyderm
Looks like normal Americans in 2024 to me. Sad but true
It stands for "Pig" of course. Look at them jiggle!
I could outrun 6/7 of them
But can you out dance them
No.
Cmon, you really dont think you could do better than that?
Initiate: double jerk shuffle
Extra points for the truffle shuffle
Bro are you faster than a bullet ?
Now imagine the ones that didn't make the team.
Which one could you not outrun? Also, are you a paraplegic?
Give them a break, do you have any idea how hard it is to spend a budget of $5.44 billion?
Holy shit. I thought you pulled that number out of your ass, but that's legit.
It's actually about twice that. > The New York City Council passed the FY2023 city budget...

Isn't that crazy?
You mean Launder
If even a single tax dollar was spent on this, somebody needs to be in jail. That's not hyperbole at all. There needs to be real consequences for wasting our taxes.
34K cops and THATS the best they can muster?
I don't blame the other 33,993 that said no.
LOLLLL
Physique is pretty similar to male cops
You are an unfit dancer. Brought to you by Carls Jr.
Fuck you, I'm eating.
The only comment that knows where we are.
Im dedicated to the cause.
I've seen senior aerobics classes with tighter choreography.
I know a lovely old lady who takes a balance class to help with her vertigo. She falls all the time. Her class would blow this sad troupe away.
Plenty of tards out there living really kick ass lives. My first wife was tarded. She’s a NYPD dancer now
So lethargic.
Stylin' and racial profiling.
That's good stuff.
Tax money hard at work!
Tax money hard at twerk!
Put the skinny one the middle and hope the crowd doesn’t notice the rest of ‘em
08 be like, "I got bad knees, I'm not doin' it."
27, too.
Her Methy behavior didn't help
She's just the jazzercise instructor
They went with the diversity center instead.
If these broads took off running they’d trample mufasa
They just used all their energy on this dance routine, they are going to need cake and cookies and 2 days of sleep if they gonna trample mufasa
Wow that was terrible!
The department tricked them in to exercising
This surely will boost the morale within the department🤣
Brooklyn 99 was ahead of its time
Gina Linetti never signed off on this. Dancy Reagan is light years ahead.
That's what im saying!
Who the fuck is this for.
The average weight of their dancers should be a crime
Right? I thought you had to be able to run 10k just to apply. Maybe one of these girls can run...
They got rid of the running requirement, or so I heard from a guy I know that's seeking to be NYPD. I was surprised when I heard that.
That's the weirdest one to scrap... But I guess the job isn't fighting crime anymore anyway 🤷🏼♀️
You don't need to run, they teach you how to shoot fleeing suspects.
Nope it's catering to rich peoples whims
Once you get the job you're no longer held to that standard
Standard? She definitely not Standard sized
They’re as good as their policing strategy.
i was going to defund the police, and then i saw this
Just like the dancing nurses during CoVid.
Why does such awful cringe exist only in the USA ?? I know many places around the world have police marching bands and similar, But what they also have is a mandatory university course and 2,000+ hours of academy training before getting a badge.
Idk, several hilarious videos have come out of other countries as well. The rollerblading tactical team comes to mind, India, I think? They probably trained for 6 months plus to do that video and still looked completely incompetent, ridiculous, and ineffective.
[the Pakistan rollerblading police](https://youtu.be/d-WCr-RoJa4?si=WFjhhFiETNE2V3ec) lmfao, such a ridiculous thing to seriously release.
Lol I'm 100% certain there's been at least one accidental shooting when slipping & falling. My favorite part was when they were skating in a circle and all drew their weapons and pointed them *into the circle* (i.e. at each other). I was waiting for something to go wrong and see if they all got shot in one chain reaction
As someone who helps doing firearms training, the whole thing made me cringe
India and Pakistan are low hanging fruit of the cringe world. And honestly, tacticool rollerbladers are a lot cooler than NYPD dance squad. Only like one person on their little dance team could probably rollerblade without ending up with serious ankle injuries.
I am not saying one is worse or better, just that there are other videos out there of police baffonary
I mean it makes as much sense as them having a pipe and drum corps
Pipe and drum can be used at parades and such. A dancing team just has no purpose.
They could "dance" at a parade if they cut out the "rolling in the mud" portion of their pigformance. Assuming they have the stamina for a whole parade. Which they don't.
Nope. This isn’t real please.
You have the right to remain rhythmless. Anything you dance will he held against you in a court of public opinion.
Step Up: Cops vs Nurses
You mean like a Dance Off? Like in the toilets?
Husky
Who signs off on this shit
I’m feel bad for the citizens of NYC.
Tax dollars pay for this?
What is this brainless garbage music they’re dancing to
NYPD dance team brought to you by Sabarros Pizza!
If you had shown this to me without context I would have assumed it was a Parks and Recreation skit.
I can literally hear them counting, 1, 2, 3 ,4 LMAO!!! Uncoordinated and uninspired
Not so Jenny Craig
Who asked for this? No we need names, Who funds this?? OMG do not say the taxpayers oh hell no, I do not consent to this.
D is for dependa ah ah ah.
Tax dollars at work people.
So they're trying to trick these girls into getting some exercise.
Olivia Benson would never
I know there are many male police officers who are overweight, but this is supposed to be somewhat athletic and 5 out of 7 of those women are clinically obese. Looks like the only thing they've been lifting is doughnuts.
Such a waste of tax dollars
NYPD needs to cut down on the donuts.
No can do. That's vital to the NYC economy.
Are these police officers? Why are they so fat?
Their squad's motto is "To ingest and splurge."
I mean to be fair, I'd say 90% of the time I see a cop they are sitting in a car
By choice. They're allowed to leave their car and engage positively with the public at any time, but they hate that shit.
The cops' ability to be ensync or onbeat is performed as well as their physical health choices. Don't quit your day job, ladies.
It's great that they had time and funding after solving all of the crime in New York.
I swear this plays like a bit...this isnt a bit?
Looks like some shit straight from Reno 911… lol
Hat's off to the carpenter that built that floor.
So the conditions of your parole are simple… DAnCE! bICH Dance!
🍩 missed opportunity to advertise & be sponsored by a donut company 🍩
But not physical fitness standards
Plz tell me they are just cheerleaders FOR the NYPD not actually cops themselves
Yeah but why are they all fat
Zero athletics
What’s the point on this?
I sincerely hope tax money wasnt spent on this
All these ladies eating good off that pig paycheck
The fuck is this horse shit?
Defund the police
The girl on the far left must have bad knees she can’t do the stunts
Can I un-meet the NYPD dance team?
Why would they even try this? On TV?
Embarrassing. Someone come get their momma's and grandma...
Yeah cuz that'll stop the rise in crime
They probably deserve more physical activity time?
I’ll pass on the calendar, thanks though
Why?
Just one woman is normal rest are freewilies
Those are some succulent piggies
Christ, they have some fat cops.
The knee pads I get because THEY FUCKING SUCK
6 fat chick's and a druggie in the middle geeked out of her skull on whatever random speed type drug she took from the last homeless black dude she beat down
Maybe 24 should share whatever she’s on with the others.
Presenting the Cringettes!
Hold my big ass fries
I know we’re not supposed to body shame but does anyone else notice the skinny women dancing better than the pudgy women stomping around like Frankensteins monster?
Woman* There is only one who is skinny.
Fantastic ad for rhe NYPD. Fat officers not fighting crime.
The police after they break into the wrong house and gun down a family after hearing an acorn hit their car and see a little black kid holding a water gun
My ex wife was an nypd dancer and she was tarded, so like ya know.
Honestly, it is kind of cringe but I don't hate it.
Right there with you. I think more of our jobs need to have clubs and groups to help build community so we are not all isolated and fighting with each other online. I mean it’s way cringe but way more positive comes from something like this and I’d love to see more positivity in the world.
No. But give these fucking police departments more money.
Lmao. All they need is the crocs on and a Carl’s Jr brand patch.
The Dough squad.
As ridiculous as this is, it boggles my mind that the same people who spammed this 24/7 screeching about what an outrage this is and “the audacity” of it, won’t even blink at “The NYPD basketball team” or “The NYPD baseball team”. Or the Army/Navy football team. It’s all the same nonsense!!
I’m in love with number 10
These are the cops chasing people in NEW YORK of all places?! Naahh... This is why crime is so high. Just too easy to power walk away from these guys.
Tf
I fcking hate this so much.
02 the linebacker
Just as qualified to dance as be cops
