Footloose the movie brings back a lot of memories for anyone who has watched it. If you can picture the scene, the last thing that you think of from Footloose is a dancing police officer.
Maybe that’s why social media is filled with people sharing the viral video that is sure to make you smile. Officer Cory Burrows has been serving the city for the last thirty years and describes Footloose as one of his all-time favorite movies. We can see why. He loves dancing. In fact, he is actually very well-known in town for his dancing.
To make the memory of signing off duty after so many years extra special, he decided to do something different to cement the moment in history forever. Stepping out of his police car, the officer tells us what an honor and a privilege it has been to serve the community and then tells the camera he is going to cut loose one last time. He then jumps out of his squad car and treats us all to his funky movies from the Footloose movie.
30 years of serving and protecting
The officer is very well-known for his remarkable dancing, so it’s no surprise that the video quickly went viral and was shared far and wide all over social media. Celebrating his last shift as a police officer, he threw his hands up in the air, danced with joy, and shouted out loud for everyone to hear,
“I’m done!”
Thirty years is a long time to serve and protect, so he wanted to make his last shift extra special. After chatting with his wife about it, he thought it would be funny to sign off, referencing his favorite movie, and busting a move.
The officer soon had everyone in stitches, and the video was shared everywhere. It became viral almost instantly. Everyone wants to see a police officer having fun and not taking life so seriously, so it came as no surprise that the video was shared so many times.
A fun sign off that will always be remembered
Officer Burrows told FaithPot that he has enjoyed serving his community for so many years but is looking forward to his well-deserved break.
His wife added that it will be a big change to have him at home, but that watching the video brought a tear to her eye. She joked that she isn’t sure if it’s because he is leaving a job he loved for so many years or if it’s because she will be stuck with him at home all day and night.
The couple is looking forward to their retirement, and there will probably be many movie marathons in their future.
Footloose and fancy-free retirement on the cards
Officer Burrows made light of a poignant moment by literally dancing in the street footloose and fancy-free for everyone to see. Lisa Simpson-Barrows wrote in the comments that the video was a much tamer version of her husband’s dancing as he usually ends the number by doing show-stopping splits at the end. Besides the fact there are no splits in sight, the video still went viral, with many people enjoying the officer’s enthusiastic style of dancing.
