South Carolina police officer shows off dance moves with citizen in TikTok video
The officer, Lt. Danny Brown, says participating on social media is an important part of community policing
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Lt. Danny Brown, a police officer in South Carolina, was out on patrol Friday night when a citizen flagged him down with a unique request. He wanted to make a TikTok video with Brown.
Though it might have been strange to another police officer, Brown -- who works for the Richland County Sheriff’s Department -- has been using TikTok for about a year, according to local television station WIS.
In fact, the citizen, Tyquan Price, was already a big fan of Brown and his videos, which is why he reached out to the officer in the first place.

While they were shooting their dance video in a car’s headlights on Friday night, Brown’s partner, Sr. Deputy Addy Perez, filmed them and later posted it on Twitter.
