Obama praises DC cop for 'Nae Nae' dance-off

Diffusing conflict is the way to go.

On Monday afternoon, D.C. police officers broke up two groups of fighting teenagers. A few minutes later, a female officer approached the lingering crowd and told the teens to disperse.
Thats 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. Then she did the Nae Nae dance.
The officer, according to Taylor, laughed and said she had far better dance moves than that.
What happened from there on the 200 block of K Street SW was a rather impressive dance-off between the police officer and the teen, and an example of positive community policing at a time when national attention is focused on discriminatory and abusive police tactics. The onlooking teens caught the dance battle on their cell phones while a song by rapper Dlow played in the background.
