On my way home from Wireless, This Police officer decided to start singing along to Rock With you.

From www.thisiscroydontoday.co.uk - PC Barry Sexton, of Croydon's Town Centre Team: "Our technician had plugged his phone into the sound system in our van (having downloaded the song) as we thought playing the song would keep the visitors in good spirits.
"I don't do karaoke, and I can't sing for toffee, but as soon as the music came on the crowds were cheering me on and I couldn't say no.
"To be honest, it was a bit of a weird experience I've never done anything like that before.
"I only knew the words to the chorus so I'd sing those and hold the PA system to the speakers for the verses.
"My brief was 'give directions and keep people calm' so I never imagined I'd be up there singing Michael Jackson.
"But the atmosphere was brilliant, and once I'd finished the crowds were asking for more."
"We were supposed to be emptying the park, but instead we were effectively having a second concert at the exit gates.
"Everyone was having way too much fun, but I'm glad I had a sing and I'd do it again."
PC Sexton hopes those who watch the performance will appreciate that police officers have a human side.
He said: "Anything that makes the police more approachable can only be a good thing.
"It was a far cry from the G20 protests where the Met was perceived as the enemy.
Fucking awesome...a cop that has the ability to be human aswel.
