NYPD boogies down for Running Man Challenge dance-off

New York (AP) – Officers from the New York Police Department are shaking their booties in response to a challenge to participate in the Running Man Challenge dance-off. The NYPD was challenged by New Zealand police and subsequently posted a video on its Facebook page showing some uniformed officers dancing with a group of students from a Brooklyn school. The Running Man Challenge asks participants to film themselves dancing to Ghost Town DJ’s song, “My Boo.” The caption of the NYPD video says, “#RunningManChallenge accepted, NZ Police Recruitment!” The video ends with one officer pretending to talk into his hand radio and then jokingly dropping it. The NYPD has extended a challenge to the Fire Department of New York, the Boston Police Department and police in Scotland.
