Lincolnshire Police has come under fire after a clip surfaced of officers dancing the Macarena at a pride event.
Footage showed dozens of people in bright clothing and holding LGBTQ+ flags as they enjoyed the pride festivities.However, the move has sparked a backlash from locals, with some blasting the officers as "ridiculous".
One person said: "Should be ashamed of yourselves instead of prancing around catch criminals that's what we pay our taxes for." Another person tweeted: "Please stop this. It reflects badly on you and the people you think you’re supporting. Do your jobs without favour. That’s all we ask." A third person said: "What in Earth is the matter with you? How do you ever expect to 1. be respected 2. taken seriously 3. maintain law and order, when you are pratting about trying to convince everybody you are their best mates. You look ridiculous."
