New York Police Department's Precinct 60 has pulled off a massive mannequin challenge with a holiday flare. The nearly three-minute video opts out of the traditional Rae Sremmurd's 'Black Beatles', which is typically used in the challenge. Instead, it plays the cheery song 'Easy Street' from the Walking Dead as the camera breezes through the precinct, revealing all kinds of mischief and holiday fun the officers are getting into. From new recruits to plain-clothed officers and high-ranking cops, it appears everyone took time out to participate in the video, which has been viewed more than 27,000 times.

What am I missing with a mannequin challenge?
That’s great!
Ping
It’s a challenge to stand there like a mannequin in an interesting pose while being filmed. The more complex without moving the better it is. It is a fad. Some are pretty good and clever.
What are you missing?
I’d say the fact that this was done on the tax payer’s dime. How much did this cost we deplorables? Was this charged to us as overtime?
Liked it very much!
Perfect! Loved the dog and stove fire.
OK. ✔
Except for the computers and the flat screen TV, that precinct building looks like the one in “The French Connection” (from the 1970s).
That’s a week’s worth of planning on the taxpayers’ dime and 3 minutes I’ll never get back.
The same question arises, for whatever it is worth, when police are marchers in civic parades.
I suppose this is intended to lessen the social distancing between the cops and the average people. To try to show that they are not all grim Barney Fifes who live hoping there is somebody to catch.
As a PR move it may or may not be worth the investment, but that is what it seems to be.
What, no one with a cup of coffee and a doughnut mid-dunk?
Very odd video.
A holiday flare? Was it a roman candle, a road flare, or what?
Borderline illiteracy, not knowing the difference between flare and flair.
I know, it’s irrelevant. Or redundant. Regardless, I’ll just combine some unrelated words and call it irregardless to the irredundancy. FEH!

Bttt
It is cheap public relations. They probably have a line item for it.
