LAPD officers dance on the field at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. In a now-viral sensation, police officers across the U.S. are dancing an updated version of the running man to a catchy 1990s hip hop song, “My Boo” by Ghost Town DJ’s, in videos that have included professional sports mascots, cheerleading squads and at least one explosion.
LOS ANGELES >> Police officers across the U.S. are dancing an updated version of the running man to a catchy 1990s hip hop song in videos that are gaining wide online popularity.
The videos are set to “My Boo,” by Ghost Town DJ’s. They began in early May after police in New Zealand issued the Running Man Challenge to the New York Police Department.
The videos have been steadily getting more elaborate and more popular, with even some police chiefs joining in.
Los Angeles officers filmed themselves dancing inside the Dodgers baseball stadium and at a popular hiking spot in the shadow of the Hollywood sign.
Detroit officers did their dance after spilling out of a heavy-duty SWAT truck in front of a General Motors building, and Miami’s men and women in blue threw in some salsa moves to Gloria Estefan’s “Conga.”
