The Boston police officer in full uniform was seen on camera descending the kid’s slide at the recently renovated City Hall Plaza playground. When the police tried out the slide, he received a faster trip than he bargained for.
The footage of the officer falling out of the slide while still wearing his uniform went viral on social media. On TikTok, it received millions of views.
The twisted tube makes loud banging noises, like shoes shaking in the dryer. Suddenly, the cop appears at the opening of the slide, landing feet first on his stomach. The video shows him straddling the edge of the slide, hitting his head on the other side, and then being thrown down the rubber surface at the bottom, losing his belt’s contents and handcuffs as he slides to a stop.
The shocked officer adds, “Oh f—k,” as he slowly stands up just before the video ends. One can hear a spectator chuckling and questioning why the slide happened so quickly.

When reporters questioned Boston Mayor Michelle Wu about the video on Tuesday afternoon, she said she had not seen it but was pleased with the updated play area.
“We were only there for the Puerto Rican festival over the weekend.” The recently restored City Hall Plaza was fully occupied. The sheer number of children playing around the water elements at that playground was astounding.

Among the characteristics is the tall slide that the cop was using. A notice at the playground entrance states that children ages 2 to 12 are welcome.
Mayor Wu remarked, “I’m not sure what happened or the circumstances. However, I will make sure to follow up and see how the officer is doing. We may also add further signage indicating that this area is intended for children if necessary.

Regarding the footage, ‘Boston 25’ also questioned Boston Police. The department claims the officer was injured, paid for treatment with his insurance, and did not impose any costs on the city.
