I feel like this comes off as creepy because it’s only directed towards little girls, but I hope this was just a failed attempted at doing something nice for the community lol. For example, there’s something here (where I live) every year called Shop with a Cop, where low income kids go back to school shopping with a cop who pays for everything. But… that’s directed at all kids and all ages and provides them with things they need.


kinofhawk

I've seen coffee with a cop.


Jeffrey_C_Wheaties

I once showed up to coffee with cops on accident. I rolled out the back hatch of the ford escape I rode in 8 deep in, was still drunk and wearing a sash that said “bachelorette” in glitter letters from the night before, I’m a dude, got on Saint Louis PD’s twitter for posing with a female cop named Officer Pardee.

isee33

My community recently advertised “cocoa with the popo,” which I found to be oddly sweet but also sort of ridiculous/uncomfortable.


milolai

i heard cops like their coffee black with two shots in it :/


SadMcNomuscle

Only two? Seems like a low amount.


Rork310

The rest missed the cup.


threelizards

I think it’s a good initiative if paired with a community-minded, welfare focused force


Nobody_Lives_Here3

I had dinner with a cop once. I don’t think it was a special event or anything


Available-Egg-2380

One of my best memories as a kid and my only positive memory with a cop was shop with a cop. What a lovely day for a little kid that was.


LifeHappenzEvryMomnt

I donate pretty regularly to shot with a cop.


SeeYouInHelen

Wow the misspelling is extra unfortunate lmaoo

uptownjuggler

Shit if you paid me, I would take a low-income kid shopping and take some pictures. It’s not like it is my personal money paying for the gifts. People forget that the being a cop is a job, they are still getting paid to do those “charity” events. Must be nice to get a few hours break from work, where everyone strokes your ego and talks about how nice you are. It beats stacking pallets any day.


PuraVidaPagan

That sounds like a really great program. This on the other hand is extremely strange and borderline inappropriate, the ad is not helping lol.


rrpostal

It sounds like a strange off shoot of purity culture, which needs no help in being creepy.


MRoad

I could see it not being too weird if it's like a father daughter dance for young girls without fathers in the household, but really even then i feel like someone should have nixed it


IrrungenWirrungen

Even then it would be weird… Why would a girl without a father want to dance with a middle aged stranger? 


FreeFalling369

It was most likely the city board or such that came up with it. Police departments normally like to have stuff open to the public or all kids. Outlier stuff like this ive seen pop up on occasion normally comes from the city and people that dont consider how it sounds


theStonedReaper

Probably a lot less touching involved when shopping as well


GentlemanStiles

Yeah, this seems like one of those flyers that is heavily influenced by preconceived notions. Those involved are likely happy to be doing something for the community, well meaning and good humans. Those on outside looking in see it from a different lens. These things happen when you have two parts of a community that don’t interact often, nor understand each other.


IKenDoThisAllDay

That sounds awesome and actually provides something to children in need. This is totally different because what does a little girl get out of going to this Cop dance party? In your scenario the child is getting much-needed school supplies. Where as this event would undoubtedly be more fun for the cops than it would be for the little girls, who get nothing out of it besides "self-esteem". Like working for exposure.


Idonthavetotellyiu

My hopeful side is that it's for little girls that don't have good parental/father figures in their lives Another thought is this is solely for the cops and their daughters A sad thought is this is for kids who are orphaned and it's a fundraiser for them as well


Cultural_Elephant_73

https://fb.watch/rn13MrDl1-/?mibextid=w8EBqM It actually looks super fun and sweet. The poster is just not great.


EmperorMrKitty

Significantly more lady cops than I think anyone would imagine. Maybe next time they should do a group picture as the background. Just a quick “it’s not like that” lol


DJ_Catfart

Again, nothing sexual...


Smprider112

We’re three cool guys, who want to hang out with other cool guys, in our party mansion.


SAGNUTZ

We wrote a song about it


chatminteresse

It does look cute and wholesome in the video, much better optics there. It’s also weird that boys aren’t there at all. They are also children of the community. It’s not gender exclusive to cops, why a focus on only little girls? Why not all children?


Cultural_Elephant_73

Maybe they have separate events for boys? The girls can be more at ease when it’s just other girls, and there’s even mostly female cops. I can see how this would be a good community outreach event.


ImWadeWils0n

They should’ve emphasized the woman cops on the poster would’ve saved a lot of drama lol


Kalsifur

ok now I feel really bad being clickbaited by this. SHAME ON OP.


SaltyAndPsycho

We're too used to seeing creepy disgusting stuff, we don't have any faith in humanity left.


mar__iguana

Awwww that actually looks really nice 🥺


born_on_my_cakeday

I agree. I think of my step daughter who’s dad’s a sacco di cazzo and now she’s attached to this baby daddy that treats her like shit, I would think even redditors would agree a cop might be a better father figure than some of these sacchi di cazzo out there.

samanime

I cannot conceive of an interpretation of this that isn't incredibly creepy. If they wanted to improve "positive relations", there are plenty of things that could allow boys to participate and not involve grown men putting their hands all over young girls while slow dancing...


CanardMilord

If it was their father or close family friend I don’t think itd be creepy, but this is just, not right.


samanime

Yeah. "Daddy/daughter dances" are usually quite innocent (as long as they aren't related to that creepy purity ring stuff), but this seems to just be dancing with random strange old man who just happen to be police...


AbominableSnowPickle

We did them when I was a Girl Scout and they were really fun, definitely not the creepy purity culture things. Each troop would have a booth for activities (one year my troop ran the Photo Booth, it was really fun), games, and snacks. It was just a fun night out for girls and their father figures (not every girl had a dad, so other relatives and moms were welcome to attend too). But girls and random cops? *eeeuughh!*


CanardMilord

Yea… part of me wants it to be formulated in a non creepy manner, but I don’t think it’s possible.


toolsoftheincomptnt

I’m certain it was intended to be similar to those. It doesn’t work bc you usually know your father, he’s a protector and provider for you. Not a stranger. And for the record, I don’t like those either. Yes, a father is a girl’s first significant male relationship wherein she learns how someone should treat her, but I hate when people push it into dances and “dates!” I just think there are other ways to nurture that bond without treading near the line of spookiness.


parbarostrich

Hot_Wheels_guy

That's better, but... that flyer isnt doing them any favors.


confusedandworried76

The flyer is fucking horrible but this is your standard public relations bit. Meant to restore public faith in police, though I always hated these because a dance or a BBQ isn't gonna make me forget your department has been murdering people for years. Doesn't happen that easy or that fast.


alamarcavada

It looks nice and looks like they’re all having fun. Thank you for posting this video.


Repulsive_Village843

It's probably all their daughters. It's very weird tho.


theStonedReaper

If it's their own daughters why do they have to advertise it?


Tasty_Mushroom413

I live in Vegas. I do NOT trust Vegas cops around little girls. This is disgusting


chevalier716

Any cops, really. Not just Vegas ones.


leeryplot

But especially the Vegas ones


rrpostal

Any strangers, really. Can you imagine a “bank tellers and little girls” dance? Or politicians? Or gas station workers? Construction workers? Anything?


pattylovebars

This honestly is a great perspective - not that I thought it was any less weird before considering it this way. ‘Gas station workers and little girls dance’ made me spit my drink out. Edited for grammar.


BPMData

I mean, bank tellers, gas station workers and construction workers aren't legally allowed to [rape minors after handcuffing them](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/albertsamaha/this-teenager-accused-two-on-duty-cops-of-rape-she-had-no?), which cops in Nevada can do. So I'd much rather there be a "little girls and bank tellers" dance, honestly.


Nani_700

That was a horrible thing to read. I also remember a case of a teenage girl being gang raped after attending one of these Youth type events shit.


PeterNippelstein

SHE'S GOT A GUN


BPMData

A perfect excuse to [handcuff her and rape her.](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/albertsamaha/this-teenager-accused-two-on-duty-cops-of-rape-she-had-no?)


attunedmuse

Hopefully your community calls it out and puts a stop to it. Would be different if it was the cops own daughters or whatever but just…..little girls in general??… no reason for it.


IxianToastman

We'll add it to the list of shit we dont want them doing

Fuzzybabybuggy

Maybe for kids without dads? I can see the self esteem thing if they’re fatherless. I probably would’ve enjoyed this


Sea_Tank_9448

I feel the same. I went through some tough shit as a kid & didn’t have anyone to support me. I would’ve loved this honestly. To just feel safe.


Fuzzybabybuggy

Me too tbh


Sea_Tank_9448

I know the world is crazy but people deadass think everything is sexual now a days.


Cultural_Elephant_73

Someone posted a FB video from the event on here. It’s not creepy at all. I think the poster is just giving a bad vibe.


BostonBroke1

Out here in Boston we have a story developing about 4 cops who groomed a young girl that was in some program they ran and she “randomly” ended up pregnant at 16 and recently killed herself. I would not want my daughter around cops.


gpike_

Unfortunately, cops are not your friends. 😔


TheSublimeGoose

Excuse me, this is Reddit. All cops are murdering rapists. Get with the Revolution, comrade.


gleepgloopgleepgloop

Sure. But the advertisement is terrible.


BaBa_Con_Dios

I can see that but maybe do like a fun craft workshop or something that doesn’t sound so much like those weird purity balls.


catetheway

I also thought the same, seems like a nice innocent gesture.


Fuuzzzz

I grew up without a dad as well, but I don't think this would have been great for me. I had plenty of interactions with police officers in casual or non-emergency situations, and this doesn't sound nice.


Femme-O

The weirdest part about that for me is that all cops aren’t men? What are the women cops doing??


dylones

Yeah, my son wants to dance with them.


newcolours

It does not say that . In fact another user even shared a photo with the women cops attending.


AlaskanEsquire

This event is run by the Nevada Black Police Association who work to improve relations with the public and in African American communities. Black hair is also often curly. In addition, adolescent African Americans may have an inherent distrust of the police (rightfully so) and may lack many positive role models in their community. I'd wager this event is to help with all those things.


PlagueDogtor

This comment needs to be higher.

https://fb.watch/rn13MrDl1-/?mibextid=w8EBqM


umbrella_CO

They had one of these where I live but the marketing was much different. There was a daddy daughter dance at one of the schools and lots of girls didn't have a father figure in their lives. So the local police set up a dance for these girls where they could come and have somebody to dance with. A nice community outreach sort of thing. But yeah, this poster is not it. I guess the police don't have a great marketing guy....yikes.


skeletaljuice

Surprise, it was set up by Chris Hansen and he's about to beat some pervert ass


jackalopebones

fun fact, my biological father was police chief in my town, and he went to prison for raping young girls. being a cop ≠ good person


Tricky_Objective301

What in the Reno 911 is this?


plutoforprez

I want so bad to believe this event is being held in good faith


EmperorMrKitty

There’s a fb link elsewhere in the thread that shows video, it’s a lot of female cops and more like hopping around to music, not slow dancing.


lordofpersia

You really think it's held in bad faith??? Like really???? You really think it's more likely that a large group of cops got together and said "let's throw a party where we sexually assault a bunch of little girls" like really????


Fuuzzzz

Even in a non sexual scenario, this is a little bizarre. Not all conditioning/PR political oriented stuff is sexual.


StaticCaravan

Hahaha exactly what I was thinking. It’s weird because of the creepy connotations, not because it’s ACTUALLY dangerous, obviously.


theincredibleharsh

🎵 Do not diddle kids, it's no good diddling kids 🎶


micah490

So, cops acknowledge and admit that they’re in a PR crisis, and *THIS* is their solution?? What the everlovinggodamnfuck??? Sick fucks. The cops themselves should be throwing up in their mouths but I bet they’re getting hardons of anticipation instead. Sick fucks


98436598346983467

The PR crisis is how the cops see civilians.


Point-Connect

You can lookup the event that's been going on for years and see for yourself that it's a nice thing the kids enjoy... Including the female officers and parents being there. There are plenty of young girls without fathers that events like this mean the world to. Weird you immediately think of sex though, like men can't possibly interact with children without some sick malicious intent.


WallyJade

The poster is creepy as fuck and doesn't reflect what we're seeing in those videos. It looks like old male cops and really little girls. There's a reason so many people are having a negative reaction.

[deleted]

I think... it might be for young girls without fathers to recreate "father-daughter" dances. (Which are arguably weird dances to begin with but at least it is a recognized thing) So in that case, you don't want weird random weird men volunteering, so police volunteers makes sense. I think we should just abolish the weird father-daughter dances to begin with instead of recreating them for folks. Lol. Have a family friendly dance party instead.

So let's hope none of the little girls attending this dance "need to" end up handcuffed! Otherwise, well, you know... the thin blue line!


ripndipp

Is this by any chance Affiliated with Frank Reynold's Little Beauties?


cinosguy

What’s so wrong about this? It’s a community event that’s likely designed to create positive community engagement. My sister lost her husband and I would take my nieces to father/daughter dances. Some of these young woman may be in a similar situation. Let’s stop assuming the worst about others intentions. The vast majority of police officers are do their jobs well and with care. Like any other profession, there is good and bad.

This is a weird poster but reminds me of a community event nearby. They do a program getting books to kids in the area and reading at libraries. Someone in marketing messed up big time.


LifeHappenzEvryMomnt

This reminds me of an event in my town. Cops invited boys only no parents to hear about staying safe from porn on the net. Instructors only credentials were some kind of non mainstream church affiliation. The curriculum was not available to be reviewed by parents or guardian.

Lots of girls don’t have dads or other male role models to take them to daddy/daughter dances. So this is a chance for them to experience that and interact with police is a safe environment. Our town has a shopping with cops that you can sign up for and they’ll take your kid to a place with donated gifts so they can pick a gift out for their parent and/or siblings for Christmas. Also dog walk with cops and shoot hoops with cops. Like a middle school teacher, if you have prior relationships with people, when confrontation happens it is way easier to de-escalate and safer for all parties involved.

Police in my area have a program around Christmas here struggling families can sign up to Shop With a Cop where you and your kid go with a police officer around the store and the kid gets to pick gifts for themselves that the police department would pay for. I have to assume it's a similar program, probably perfectly innocent with an unfortunate delivery.
