A Washington, DC police officer was called Wednesday to break up a fight between two teens in and ended up “breaking it down”.
The female DC officer had just finished breaking up the fight and gaining control of the situation when a teenage girl whipped out her phone and started playing the “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)”.The officer boasted that she had better moves and the epic dance battle ensued.

Onlookers recorded the stellar dance-off, which ended with both participants declaring victory.
D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier praised the officer in a statement Thursday.
“The viral video today of the First District Officer positively engaging with teens and diffusing the conflict yesterday in a manner that appropriately resolved the call is reflective of the many positive police-community interactions that take place daily in Washington, D.C.,” the statement read.
President Obama also lauded the interaction as “an example of police having fun while keeping us safe.”
Who knew community policing could involve the Nae Nae? Great example of police having fun while keeping us safe: https://t.co/ZGeTDm6OYw
