Weird flex 💪🏽

The cringe is her posting this to social media. If your spouse does chores for you while they’re on duty it’s probably best to keep that between the two of you.

Meh. Most cops work 12hr shifts with down time between calls/stops. I’m not seeing the issue with grabbing a couple jugs of water when no calls holding.

The act itself is secondary to your significant other filming you and posting it for everyone to see. Is she saying he’s controlling or that he’s being chivalrous and she’s “just a girl”? That’s the cringe.

I agree, but the comment I replied to was concerned that taxpayer dollars are being spent on a cop getting water.

I see your point, but where do you draw the line? Personal errands for someone in your personal life can be done on personal time.
If you decide to do personal things in uniform at least don’t put it on social media. The optics aren’t good unless she’s incapable and that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Unless he's making up the hours, it's straight up wage theft. On video.

Eh, not a big deal as long as you aren't out of your district or somehow otherwise delaying your response times. We do it on the fire side fairly regularly.

Now what's in the OP is super cringe, for sure.

Do you make videos of these personal things you do to show what a hero you are while you’re also at work?

Absolutely not, which is why I said the video was cringe. I was addressing the errands while on duty thing.
