Party culture in America leads to some wild stories. some so far-fetched to be almost imaginary. Stories out of Spring Break, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and even just the average drunken Saturday night create entertainment for days afterwards. Sometimes, though, the story starts in an unexpected place, and ends in an even more unexpected one.
The Beginning of an Outrageous Story
Last month, a group of young women were throwing a party in Sydney, Australia, where they were getting a little rowdy. Their festivities got so loud and disruptive that the cops were called on them to break up the bash, unbeknownst to the party girls.
When the cop showed up at the party, though, it didn’t go the way that you might think. Instead of breaking up the party and continuing on his shift, the cop was mistaken for a stripper by the young women.
A Story for the Tiktok Audience
The entire incident was recorded in a video on Tiktok, which shows the cop trying not to smile as the girls started to catcall him. They didn’t just catcall him and call him a stripper, though. The video then shows the girls all grinding up on him and trying to get him to join in the fun!
The officer was clearly a little flustered by the revelries and even more confused that he was being mistaken for a stripper when he was just trying to do his job. Some of the comments on the video called him out for looking a little amused, and maybe a little pleased about what was happening around him.
An Amusing Mistake
The caption of the Tiktok video reads “When the cops rock up to your event but you all think he’s the stripper” and clearly the partiers were all having a good time, even amongst the confusion. The cop clearly had a difficult time being heard over the sound of the party, and eventually he left without closing down the event.
One of the commenters of the video even thought that they recognized the cute cop, stating that they were going to ask their partner who worked in the police force about it. Lisa, the woman who posted the video, said that it was likely if the commenter’s boyfriend worked in Sydney City.
Not the Only Cop To Be Mistaken For A Stripper
This is far from the only story of a cop being mistaken for a stripper, and if the cop did decide that he wanted a change of scenery, he would be in good company. Another story out of the UK tells of a woman who worked on the force for thirty years before choosing to retire.
Michelle Walton worked as a police officer in London for 30 years, and about ten years into her career, she took a year long sabbatical where she traveled to Australia for a holiday. She needed to earn money while she was there, so she started working for a local bar.
Michelle Earned Money in an Unconventional Way
Her work quickly progressed to topless serving, though it was in a fully safe environment. The patrons kept their hands to themselves, and Michelle had a great time showing off her body while earning good money.
When her sabbatical was over, she went back to the UK and resumed her job on the police force. She loved what she did and is proud of the many years that she spent as a cop, but when she ultimately retired from the force she had to decide what she wanted to do with her time.
A Hobby, Using Her History
To fill her free time, Michelle began attending classes at a local burlesque club, where she rediscovered how much she loved the art of erotic dance. She was encouraged to expand her skill set and her reach by other dancers, and soon she decided to create a dance routine centered around her years as a cop.
The strip routine has Michelle using her old batons and handcuffs, and it’s a fun deviation from the rules that she had to adhere to as a cop. Michelle recognizes that she isn’t the most skilled dancer, but for her, stripping is a form of female empowerment that allows her to feel at home in her body.
Sexuality to Benefit Charity
Michelle’s strip routine is one that she performs for various charities around the Isle of Wight, where she hails from. She performs shows that earn money for charity, and she’s able to enjoy herself and revel in female sexuality for a good cause.
Michelle is open about the fact that some people won’t like what she does, but that she’s okay with that. For her, stripping is about encouraging other women to love their bodies the way that she does, and she tells her story because she’s proud of her achievements, no matter how unconventional they might be.
An Honest Mistake, But a Fantastic Story
Michelle’s story is inspiring, and it only highlights how truly funny the video of the cop in Australia is. While it may have been an honest mistake on the part of the women at the party, it’s definitely a story that everyone involved will be telling for a long time.
The Tiktok video has now been deleted from the platform, but the internet saves everything. It’s like that we’ll never know the identity of the cop who was trying to break up the party, but his face and the story of what happened in front of the internet will be on everyone’s minds until the next viral sensation breaks.
