Acceptable or not ?

No. Should be immediately suspended and face disciplinary action.

Unfortunately some police officers don’t know the line between interacting with communities and losing authority.

Not. He’s on duty.

no but when did our opinion ever matter to them

They’re a world wide laughing stock. They couldn’t police an infant school

Not. This copper needs to act like a copper. Is this London? @metpoliceuk

No he is working not picking up women.

How absolutely fucking idiotic is it? A wonder why no one has respect for the police? What a bunch of morons they should be all sacked.

Totally unacceptable. He's working. He needs to act like it.

Police need to appear sober and responsible, observing crowds, respectfully keeping the peace. If officers take part in the event then they can’t be fully aware of any offences taking place around them or of anyone who might need assistance. If you need police, will you feel confident approaching a police officer who is dancing? In my opinion this doesn’t raise the respect level of police it only makes them look less irresponsible and less effective, diminishing the trust that law abiding members of the public have in them. Police are not there to join in the carnival. Am I right?
