The New York Police Department’s dance team has been coming under criticism after a video of the team performing went viral.
Even Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who advocates for defunding the police, got in on criticizing the dance troop on X.

AOC was not alone in her criticism, as many on social media condemned the NYPD dance squad performance.
The NYPD and its dance team have since addressed the widespread backlash, insisting the dance team is just like any other department sports team and that no taxpayer funds go toward supporting it.
The optics of the media showcasing the NYPD dance team, while illegal immigration and crime remain high is not a good look.
