I came across this Tiktok today ( vm.tiktok.com/ZMMt7RMx2/ ) about a local-to-me topic I had never heard of and that I couldn't find on LMW.
In 1984, when in the city of Vancouver, BC, Canada for his latest tour, Michael Jackson was invited by the police department of the nearby city of New Westminster, BC to come visit. He accepted, and was made an honourary police officer for the day. He gave the police force Aviator sunglasses and had them walk down the stairs of the city hall with him as his team filmed it. It was suspected that the footage would be used in an upcoming music video, but it never was and the footage has never resurfaced. Pictures are easy to find online such as in this article: bc.ctvnews.ca/mobile/retired-police-remember-top-secret-mj-meeting-1.413570
I know MJ wasn't a good person, but it's interesting to me that the footage has never seen the light of day, especially when it was a pretty big deal for the city at the time. I would assume that if the City of New Westminster had access to the footage, it would've been released by now. They have some of the Aviator sunglasses and pictures of the event in the city's museum. I think the only way this would ever resurface is if someone knew or were to get in contact with a crew member who worked for the team of Michael Jackson in '84. It would be really neat to see this footage resurface as someone who lives in the Vancouver area.
