A video of a sheriff's deputy showing off his moves to the tune of Beyonce's Formation at a high school gymnasium has gone viral.
Deuntay Diggs, 31, a lieutenant with the Stafford County Sheriff's Office in Virginia, was first spotted performing his routine in August in the hope that his routine would connect with viewers and reflect a different side of law enforcement.
The students at North Stafford High School went wild as the officer performed his routine. A bold move considering Beyonce was at one time criticized for being 'anti-police' after the music video was released.

Diggs, who also works as a motivational speaker, has been open about his difficult upbringing in Maryland, where he experienced physical, sexual, and mental abuse
Quote:
Diggs, says he's just doing what he can to help improve relations between his local community and the police.
'The reason I'm doing this is to show kids that they can make it, that they can survive, that they can be successful,' he told BuzzFeed.
'I've been very fortunate, at this time when people look negatively upon law enforcement, that I'm able to change that narrative and open up some conversations and engage with people.
'I'm a huge Beyoncé fan, so the night before, I just watched her video on YouTube over and over again, and then I memorized it, practiced it, and the next day I did it.'

But he's cute and so is his fiancé. The fact that he's gay makes me even more happy.
