"I started dancing as I walked away," Taylor said. "I turned around to look at the officer and she said, 'I can do better,' so I challenged her to a dance off and she accepted."

Taylor said she was shocked by the officer's dancing.

"Her moves were awesome!" she said. "We called it a tie."

 

She added that the whole experience has changed how she saw the police.

"Now I know that good cops exist in the world," she said. "I think every cop should be that way. She was still doing her job but didn't abuse her power and was cool with it."

In a statement, Police Chief Cathy Lanier said the video showed the officer "diffusing the conflict in a manner that appropriately resolved the call."
