Watch This DC Cop Turn Confrontation Into Dance Off with Teen

At a time when it seems a day doesn’t go by when there isn’t news about conflicts between police and the public, there comes a little levity.

When a D.C. policewoman confronted a group of teens Monday afternoon, about to ask them to keep it moving, she made a deal with Aaliyah Taylor, a 17-year-old senior at Ballou High School. Aaliyah said on her Facebook page: “We made this deal if i win u leave but if u win I step andddddd she step.”

The two ended up in a dance off to “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)” on K Street NW.

Aaliyah posted the video on her Facebook page and as of Wednesday afternoon, it had nearly 250,000 views.

“Instead of us fighting, she tried to turn it around and make it something fun,” Taylor told The Washington Post. “I never expected cops to be that cool. There are some good cops.”
