Police lieutenant caps off flawless Beyoncé routine with a perfect split... for the kids

STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. (ABC7) -- It's hard for many people to sit still when a Beyoncé song comes on but for this Stafford County Police lieutenant, he had to get in "Formation" literally.

In an Instagram video posted by @mrldavis, Lt. Deuntay Diggs transforms into a Beyhive-member, while in uniform, and shows off his amazing dance moves at the recent FredParent Back to School Expo at Spotsylvania Towne Centre. The expo is an event that collects school supplies for children in need. Lt. Diggs performed during a lip-sync contest featuring law enforcement, and he won.

According to Lt. Diggs, Beyoncé is his favorite singer. “I’ve followed her since Destiny’s Child way back in the day."

The video clip now has over 12,000 views and climbing.

Beyoncé sparked controversy with some police officers across the country following her performance of "Formation" at the Super Bowl earlier this year where she and her background dancers wore Black Panther-inspired costumes.

A group of officers in Florida threatened to boycott the singer by refusing to work at one of her "Formation World Tour" concert stops.

Nevertheless, Beyoncé told ELLE Magazine back in April she is not "anti-police."

“Anyone who perceives my message as anti-police is completely mistaken. I have so much admiration and respect for officers and the families of the officers who sacrifice themselves to keeps us safe. But let's be clear, I am against police brutality and injustice. Those are two separate things."

Lt. Diggs says he doesn't interpret the song as being "anti-cop."

“People have different interpretations of the video. I don’t take it as an anti-cop songI like the song," said Lt. Diggs. “I was thinking of songs that are relevant to now and songs that would get the community engaged and so that’s why I chose Formation."

Lt. Diggs also says he thinks "Formation" is a great way to reach out to the community as a law enforcement officer, especially now.

“I want to show the community that, law enforcement, we’re human, that we have feelings and emotions and we’re really part of the community," said Lt. Diggs. "I know there’s a lot going on nationally when it comes to law enforcement and the community, so I’m really focused on bridging that gap and listening to people.”
