Accountability and doing gender while being a police man [Video]

This in-car camera footage ("Dash Cam Confessionals") of a Dover police officer captures him singing (and dancing) along to the Taylor Swift song "Shake It Off." Students find this 4 minute video clip helps them understand "doing gender" and how we are accountable for our gender performances. Have your students watch (and probably laugh) as this policeman changes from enthusiastic sing-along exuberance to "cool and collected" greeting-behavior when he drives by other people.
