WASHINGTON: While the US public was captivated by a recent footage of a teenager being flipped over her desk and dragged across the classroom, another video was going viral too.

In it, a teen appears to challenge a police officer to a dance-off. The officer accepts and they dance, circling each other, for a nearly a minute. Both girls are black, both officers white. Both teenagers reportedly defied police orders.

Beyond that, the similarities fade. After the student in the first video reportedly refused to put away her phone in class, South Carolina officer Ben Fields grabbed her in a violent response that cost him his job.
