Officer who responded to noise complaint was in for a stellar dance performance
Ya gotta have dance practice somewhere.
A police officer responding to a noise complaint at a Carrollton, Texas apartment complex last month stumbled upon something that wasn't complaint-worthy at all: a group of groomsmen practicing a dance to surprise a soon-to-be bride.
"When the officer first approached us, we were a little nervous, but we knew we were doing nothing wrong," groom David Opegbemi told ABC News.

So the group offered to show off what it'd been preparing -- a very cute dance set to "My Girl."
After the performance, Ofc. Burnside congratulated Opegbemi, then left the groomsmen to their practice session, which wasn't that loud to begin with.
"After a short explanation of the situation, things became great between us and the respect displayed on both sides was an awesome feeling," Opegbemi said.
Thankfully, the Carrollton Police Department waited until after the wedding to share body cam footage of the incident on its Facebook page. "We see a lot of bad. But we see a lot of good too," the post reads.
And Opegbemi is thrilled with the attention the video has received since it was posted. "It sends a positive message to the world that ... black men don't always need to be perceived as dangerous," he said.
Opegbemi also reported that his now-wife, Tiera, loved the groomsmen's performance.
