A cop just showed a new way break up a fight.
Police officers arrived Monday afternoon on the 200 block of K Street SW at Washington D.C. to break up a fight between two groups of teenagers. Then, after a few minutes, a female cop went to the crowd and told the youngsters to disperse, The Washington Post said.
"That's when Aaliyah Taylor, a 17-year-old senior at Ballou High School, walked up to the officer and started playing 'Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)' on her phone," the publication reported. "Then she did the Nae Nae dance."
The lady officer then reportedly laughed and boasted she can do better moves. And thus the dance-off began, which has since been called "an example of positive community policing at a time when national attention is focused on discriminatory and abusive police tactics."
"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."
The cop had said that if the teens won the dance battle, they could remain in the area. If the officer won, they would have to bail out.
"Slightly hampered by her police gear she kept up with the teen, dressed in black jeans, cropped shirt, and red sneakers, who gyrated effortlessly to the 'Nae Nae' dance, which involves crooking the legs sideways, squatting, and bouncing back and forth," MailOnline observed. "The Nae Nae is usually combined with The Whip dance, which involves putting the arms out straight and twisting them."
"The officer seemed to be doing a little bit more of a freestyle dance, but she admirably kept pace with the teen nonetheless," it added.
Taylor later told the media that the cop later gave her a hug and asked for her name while smiling.
"I was like, 'Oh yeah, we need more cops like you,'" she revealed.
"I mostly hold my head down when I dance, so I didn't really see her," she also said to The Post. "But when I looked at the video after, I was like 'Oh, she has some moves.'"
When The Post tried to reach out to the cop in question, she said she did not want to be identified as she didn't want to make it all about her.
"It's kind of embarrassing that this became so big," she shared. "This is what we do everyday."
Police Chief Cathy Lanier later said in a statement that the officer in the video was "positively engaging with teens and diffusing the conflict in a manner that appropriately resolved the call," according to USA Today.
