Why are cops always standing like this like they got frozen doing the chicken dance

Kurt Russell is singlehandedly responsible for an entire generation doing this

Thanks for the ear worm... AAAARRRGGGHHHH

sadly a lot of misinformation going on in the replies. it's actually quite similar to a mating call, but instead two or more cops then seek out minorities to commit civil rights violations against. quite fucked up actually, I recommend keeping your distance and alerting others to their presence.

First of all, lol! Lmao. But second, just seeing this picture makes me feel like I'm going to miss my turn for the Midtown Tunnel.

Cops are now required by law to have their nipples pierced, and this keeps the vest away from the sore nipples until they heal.

Unfortunately, I have a likely answer. The bulletproof vest is thick and stiff and putting your arms down at your side is difficult.

apparently they aren't supposed to put hands in their pockets but it became a weird culture thing hilarious when it gets into their brains and you see dudes in plain clothes doing it

is he... y'know

Lot of misinformation in the comments here the truth is cops only do this when they are in distress and we love to see that.
