Subject: Manipulative poLICE State PR: Pig Rocking Out To Taylor Swift Exposed As Publicity Stunt Mon Jan 19, 2015 2:43 am
The Dover Police Department recently posted a video of a cop rocking out to Taylor Swift’s hit song “Shake It Off.”
The PD’s approval numbers went through the roof, and their Facebook likes are still soaring.
“While reviewing dashcam footage, we come across some interesting sights to say the least,” the department spokesperson said.
“We decided we would share some with you in a new web series called ‘Dash Cam Confessionals.’ We hope you enjoy this…and Taylor Swift, if you’re watching…we’re sorry.”
Watch the video below…
There’s only one small problem… The officer knew good and well that he was being recorded. We contacted the department, asking them why the officer would have been unaware that he was being recorded. The media relations representative did not respond.
We asked further if that officer knew about the new web series: again, no response.
It may seem obvious to some, but others have swallowed this PR-stunt hook-line-and-sinker. The purpose seems to be showing the public the “nicer side” of those guys and gals who pull you over for anything and everything, fine you, lock you in a cage if you don’t pay that fine… And those are just the tame aspects of “community policing.”
By posting this video, and initiating this “new web series,” the Dover Police Department is trying to distract us from systemic and systematic police brutality. Don’t fall for it!
