Atlanta Police Department has been challenged to a duel—a dancing duel.
City of Monroe Police Department has summoned the APD and other local police departments to match their indelible dance moves by participating in the Running Man Challenge, which has become a national movement involving everyone from LeBron James to Vince Vaughn.
The police department, based in Walton County, shared their Running Man Challenge Thursday, and, so far, the post has been shared more than 5,400 times and has nearly 160,000 views.
In the video, the Monroe police officers shake it to the tune of 1990s hit " My Boo" by Ghost Town DJ’s and chase down a rogue Batman. Other viral videos featuring the challenge have the same soundtrack but various versions of the 1980s dance move.
"It is important to remember that law enforcement officers are human and that they do interact together as a family during their time away from their personal families," the department's Facebook posts reads.
Facebook users ate up every moment of the 3-minute and 15-second video.
Facebook user Gina A. Gomez wrote: "This is a whole new level of incredible! I have such high respect for the men and women in walton county who work for our police department. You guys rock!!!!!"
But there were a few critics with Chris Kaftanciyan asking "So is this where my tax dollars are going ?"
No word on whether APD is up for the challenge just yet.
