00:00Working in a sheriff's office can be really tiring and challenging, especially when you're
00:04a deputy for over two decades. Even though retiring from that job could appear stressful
00:09to some, it could come as a blow to the person who's probably spent half of his life doing that
00:14job. In the El Paso County Sheriff's Office, Deputy Tony Schor has served for 29 years.
00:20Now, he was famously known to be strict and disciplined. It was the day of his retirement,
00:25and he was celebrated in an elevator surprised by his co-workers, and this is going to come
00:29to you as an unexpected piece of information. But before we continue, smash the like button,

00:39In El Paso County, situated in Colorado, Tony was one of the longest-serving officers from
00:44his department for approximately 29 years. He'd worked with the transport and traffic units and
00:49was a favorite of his colleagues. After so many years, it was time for him to move on.
00:54Now, elevator malfunctions had been troubling the sheriff's office authorities for a long time.
00:59The malfunctioning elevator had been a cause of trouble and might have led to some issues if
01:04the only elevator in the county office was affected. But a solution was suggested. Attempting
01:09to diagnose the problem, two mischievous-looking technicians installed a camera in the elevator
01:14but kept its existence a secret. People do all kinds of things when they think they're alone,
01:19and a hidden camera became a form of amusement for the people on the back end.
01:23After his retirement gathering and speech, Tony sure was understandably emotional. However,
01:29he refused to stay in that state for long, and as soon as he entered the lift, just like other
01:34people, Tony had his way of dealing with loneliness and stress. He even had the female officers join him
01:40in this, and all this while he was being recorded on the camera. He might have received a lot of
01:45gifts
01:45and speeches that day, but what Deputy Tony ended up doing in that elevator would definitely have to be
01:51the show-stopping event of the day. Who would have expected this disciplined cop to break out and
01:56whip nay-nay as soon as he entered the elevator? This sheriff put on this famous song and started
02:01grooving. He didn't know he was being watched or that the chief deputy would catch him in the act.
02:07In case you didn't know, Watch Me Whip Nay Nay is a 2015 song by the hip-hop-slashed R
02:13&B artist
02:14silento. It was an instant hit because of its groovy music and catchy lyrics. Tony improvised
02:19the dance moves, and we can't complain about the product. He really started to let himself loose
02:24and own the entire elevator. Did he know he was being watched? Maybe. Did he care about it?
02:30Absolutely not. It was his retirement day, his party, and he was going to enjoy it. But what happened
02:36when the elevator stopped? The elevator stopped at the next floor, but the deputy officer was not able
02:42to get out of his groove in time. In came Deputy Reed, and she gave a skeptical look to Deputy
02:47Tony.
02:48However, his aura was just too hard to resist, and it didn't take long for Deputy Reed to get into
02:53the
02:53mood. She started to shake a leg. It wasn't long before they both started syncing their dance moves
02:59and did the stanky leg together. Reed was not impressed at first, but Tony's lip-syncing skills
03:04and his moves really impressed her, and she lost all inhibitions about her senior and accompanied him
03:09whipping. While they were enjoying their trance, the elevator stopped again, and in came the chief
03:14deputy officer, their senior. They both instantly forgot about their fun and took a standby position,
03:20fearing the officer. Even though the dancing stopped, the trio appreciated the music. Even
03:25the chief started shaking his head in tune with the song. The next floor came, and Tony couldn't wait
03:30to get back to his dancing. He saluted the chief officer and resumed his steps the moment the chief
03:35turned his back. On that same floor, the chief deputy officer left, and Deputy Murphy, a school resource
03:41officer, came into the elevator. She noticed the odd behavior of Deputy Reed and Deputy Tony and kept
03:47observing them for a while. Unable to resist any more, she joined the pair, and the three of them
03:52kept on dancing without a care in the world. No, Superman did not join them, but the next best thing
03:57happened. Soon, the three of them started syncing their steps according to the lyrics of the song.
04:02When the lyrics referred to Superman, all three of them imitated the flying style and synced their
04:07moves. If the three of them weren't rocking enough, they were joined by Sheriff Bill Elder.
04:12As his name suggests, he was elder and seniority to them. Again, they hushed up when he came in,
04:18but this time it was the senior who took the initiative of restarting the party.
04:22Four of them went gaga over a Salento song they all probably knew. They were probably being watched,
04:28but they could have cared less. After all, they weren't doing anything wrong, just a little
04:31harmless fun. The hidden camera in the elevator recorded the whole party and their crazy dance
04:36moves. The sheriff's office, in a Facebook post, wrote that Tony had earned the reputation from
04:41his peers and supervisors as being highly professional and exceptionally knowledgeable.
04:46The video shown garnered millions of views in just a matter of days. After all, it's not every
04:52day that one gets to witness a bunch of police officers dancing their brains off in an elevator.
04:57The groovy moves of Tony Schur and the other officers not only made them famous for their
05:01fun-loving and cool nature in the office, but also in the locality everyone could identify them
05:07from their viral video. The video not only made Tony an internet sensation, but also seemed to change
05:13the way civilians saw police officers. When people saw the video, they were not only tickled,
05:18but inspired. They came to realize that it's important to enjoy life and not let work get to
05:24you. Tony and the other officers set some serious goals for the chiefs of every department.
05:29Every worker now wished that their heads and colleagues could be as cool as Deputy Tony.
05:34Some people think that the whole video is a setup and that it's fake. There's no knowing whether the
05:39whole thing was fake or not, and honestly, does it matter? It ended up entertaining people,
05:43and the officers too, and it caused no harm and injured no one. The department's Facebook page
05:49was usually used to tell people about any arrests or mishaps in the areas around,
05:53but this time the department made an exception and posted the video online.
05:57Hope you enjoy it, like we all did. You've got to appreciate the spirit of these officers.
06:02Instead of judging their colleague, they indulged his wish to dance. It was his last day.
06:07They subtly teach us the value of camaraderie.
