BLM caused the nations first black female police chief to be fired from Seattle PD just a year after this video was created. Downtown doesn't look like that anymore. People don't even get along here anymore. Washingtons democrat leadership and extreme leftist city council destroyed this once great city
I've spent most of my life around the greater Seattle area and go into the city several times a year. This is how I remember SPD. Despite everything happening today, this is a good representation of Chief Carmen Best and her officers. Love you guys.
We need to bring the lip sync challenge back Time for some positivity and humor. Civil unrest and a world wide pandemic brought humanity down to a dark place. We need our first responders These video brought the community together It didn’t matter your race you had fun
ABSOLUTELY! It's unfortunate that George Floyd gave cops a bad rap. With all the horrible political crap going on, the country needs to brings some fun and joy back into our communities.
Bravo to SPD for the fun outreach here. As a Seattle downtown business owner, I really appreciate the professionalism on the beat the fun outreach here. Keep up the great work everyone! Adam with SODO-Moto
Jesus I‘m from Germany and I got tears in my eyes because of this video... civilians participating with the police... why isn‘t there a PD like those in Germany... #lovepolice #thinblueline
When I first saw this, the comments were disabled. Now I can finally say this: And that, Norfolk PD, is how it's done. Seriously, there's so many little nods to the original song, this was epic. You guys kicked ASS on this, and righted a historic wrong by actually filming it in Seattle! Thanks for all you do!
Still like Norfolk, Virginia's "Uptown Funk" better. This has slick editing and more participants, but Norfolk did theirs in one continuous shot, without cuts. Very hard to do.
Being from Detroit MI area, I've been binge watching these and been sending these to my Father-In-Law who is a retired Police Officer. You guys have really stepped up and I have to say probably one of the best ones so far. Thank you for your service and stay safe out there!
This was such an excellent production! ❤️ (It’s the only police lip sync challenge video I’ve shared on social media and I am not biased, as I live on the other side of the country). I can only imagine how difficult it was to coordinate everything and everyone involved in this project. At first, everyone had to study Macklemore’s video and memorize the lyrics. Then there was the task of reproducing much of the original scenes. You had to get clearance for the use of Safeco Field, Pike Place, etc., while fitting the filming into the tight date/time allotments they provided. Then you needed to gather hundreds of people together for lip synching, dancing, etc. You even managed to sneak in celebs like King Felix and Lenny (among others) for cameos! I know this production had to be done during the mutual *free time* of everyone who volunteered to appear. (To the commenters wondering if their “tax dollars” funded this 🙄, ALL of the nationwide police lip sync videos were created, directed, filmed and produced by people *donating* their off-duty and free time to the projects). This production was certainly no easy task, but the finished product is professional-grade and so engaging! I’ve watched it over and over. 😊 It was well worth all the hard work. In my opinion, Seattle definitely WON the lip sync challenge! Congrats to the SPD, SFD, and the people of Seattle!
Yessssss. Thank you so much for participating and putting it out there. I love everything about this! You ladies and gents are legit bad ass. Thank you for your service.
My God ... this is amazing! I am a former police officer in Buenos Aires (Argentina) and I think this could never be possible here. You are wonderful. All of you .... The whole city .. !! I send you all my love and blessing...!!
This is an absolutely fantastic video! The fact that you included well-known locals of the city (Reggie at 2:30) AND had multiple parades down city streets shows the dedication to the video.
I lived 20-40 minutes from Seattle my whole life and I’m proud of it!! I’m about to go over there today hope I get to see this type of energy from y’all like I see every time I go!!
Love this!!! One of my top 3 videos in this challenge. Love seeing the PD and people from the community together having fun. Thats what it’s all about. People of Seattle- You did good! Awesome job!!! 👍❤️
Sad thing is that most of the young officers in this video no longer work for SPD, including the Chief, due to things that had nothing to do with Seattle to begin with. Absolutely tragic.....
I've been watching all the lip synch challenges and this one is BY FAR is the best. They look like they're having a blast and involved the community. I watch it at least once a day and it never fails to put me in a good mood and make me smile. I watched the interview for all these amazing people and they seem pretty awesome.
I know I’m late, but growing up in Seattle, this video makes me so god damn happy! I love watching it! This is what Seattle and the people are all about! Not what your seeing on tv!
I love this song and decided to watch it this morning which led me to this awesome lip sync video! I lived in Seattle during the grunge years (91-96), what a fun video and so nice to see so many places around Seattle. When I am having a bad day I will come back and watch again.
I had never seen any of these until one popped up today & I’ve watched quite a few since. This one is the best one I’ve seen so far. Y’all put a lot of time & work into this & it shows. Idk who won but y’all are #1 as far as I’m concerned. Thank you for all you do every day & thank you for making me smile! 👍👏🏆🇺🇸
What a delightful way to introduce the hearts of those who wear the uniforms to protect and guard our freedoms. Please take care and know our nation would not be able to survive and thrive without your many sacrifices ...and your rhythm! Thank you for all you do! And for demonstrating such community spirit! How blessed Seattle is!
This is awesome!!! Seattle PD rules! It's kick ass awesome to see that the men and women in blue can let loose. Seeing that they involved so many of those who live in Seattle rocks! Congrats to Seattle PD
Summer of love. Don't ask any questions about the burning cop cars, the rapper who got a million dollar "scholarship" from Microsoft, the racially segregated 8 blocks of "mostly peaceful" songs and dance
One of the best pieces of subtle shade in the video was the fact Norfolk PD challenged Seattle and they threw in 3 former Norfolk officers with their old NPD uniforms and items at the “you don’t want no beef boy” line. Classic.
I watch this video all the time! It brings me such joy! To know that u all put out a call to the community and to know they responded in masses makes the heart feel good. I don’t understand how it didn’t win. The difficulty of being able to lip sync to this song, the energy, the cameos and the video production! All amazing. (And the humor! Outstanding) couldn’t be more proud of the SPD representing! 💜💜💜
Between Merced Calif PD and Seattle PD it's a toss. Both are awesome!! Awesome both forces brought the community in on the event as I'm sure most of the challenges across the country did. It's so good to see after all the years of negativity and hate being the forefront of media's number one priority.
Having visited Seattle this last August and watching the lip sync challenge tonight, Seattle is the best! As a retired LEO, I spoke with some of the officers, as we are wont to do. Great place to visit, great place to live. I thought their video truly showed the city and all of it’s diversity in such a positive light. You all have it! Stay safe my brothers and sisters! Re the alleged winner, they don’t have the fun or the great bath tub gin places!
Hands down the best police lip sync video. True to the original Macklemore music video, and then blended police and community together. Well done SPD, well done.
I love this I just ran across this and it is November 2020 and I must say I pray all of you are well I've been praying for you since May of 20 20 and I must say the things look a lot different from this I pray all of you are well and all of you and your families are safe God bless you all and thank you for all of your service to your great City God bless thank you
Way To Go SPD! You Rock! What an awesome job Everyone did on this production. So now SPD can not only be proud of being a Fantastic PD, but at being Spectacular entertainers as well! Thank you for all that you do in service for us (this goes for all police forces, nation wide) and Please, Stay Safe!
Awesome Video! Seattle's Finest Men and Women in Blue😎BUT the one thing that would have Really put this Video Over The Top was a cameo by Seattle's own Macklemore😏
Best PD lip sync challenge video! Who is still watching in (almost) 2022?! Such a great and fitting song choice too. Excellent all around.
2024..I watch it to feel my “hometown pride,” as I now live 3000 or so miles away from my beloved home state/town. ❤
4 years later & still my favorite video
Im not from Seattle but DAAAAAAMN this is the best one out there. Represents the City, PD and the people as awesome!!!
the song is also about Seattle
yeah song is Macklemore to, from seattle and song is seattle.
The CHP one is also great
BLM caused the nations first black female police chief to be fired from Seattle PD just a year after this video was created. Downtown doesn't look like that anymore. People don't even get along here anymore. Washingtons democrat leadership and extreme leftist city council destroyed this once great city

Its now sh*t and we should do something about it.
We need to bring the lip sync challenge back
Time for some positivity and humor. Civil unrest and a world wide pandemic brought humanity down to a dark place. We need our first responders
These video brought the community together
It didn’t matter your race you had fun
Exactly
AGREED 👍
the number 1 comment, the best!. and I agree.
ABSOLUTELY! It's unfortunate that George Floyd gave cops a bad rap. With all the horrible political crap going on, the country needs to brings some fun and joy back into our communities.
We sure do. Need more moral buster for our officers
Bravo to SPD for the fun outreach here. As a Seattle downtown business owner, I really appreciate the professionalism on the beat the fun outreach here. Keep up the great work everyone!

clicked on the video, watched the video, bought tickets to seattle. Epic - big thumbs up from Germany
*Seattle PD hears about lip-sync challenge*
Seattle PD- “Hold my beer.”

😂
Hold my Starbucks!
👻😂👻
hahahahahahahahahahahaha truth
Seattle rocked the lip sync challenge. I love this video.
Jesus I‘m from Germany and I got tears in my eyes because of this video... civilians participating with the police... why isn‘t there a PD like those in Germany... #lovepolice #thinblueline
America's different
Олечка П. different yes but still kind of Great 👌🏽 except trump... trump is just a fucking idiot and same with those trumpsupporters
RamRamonRainer I proudly support trump and just because we have differences of opinions doesn’t mean you can call me an idiot
Da sind wir einer Meinung !
That's the whole idea to get police and citizens together to great a bound.
When I first saw this, the comments were disabled. Now I can finally say this:
And that, Norfolk PD, is how it's done. Seriously, there's so many little nods to the original song, this was epic. You guys kicked ASS on this, and righted a historic wrong by actually filming it in Seattle! Thanks for all you do!
Still like Norfolk, Virginia's "Uptown Funk" better. This has slick editing and more participants, but Norfolk did theirs in one continuous shot, without cuts. Very hard to do.
Hands down, we won! SEATTLE!!!
Jay Rule no my home town KILLEEN TX won the lip sync battle
YES we did
A little town in Desert Hot Springs, California is aiming to BEAT YOU!!! ;D
The CHP and Seattle PD are neck and neck to being because DAMN
LETS GET IT SEATTLE!!!!
Being from Detroit MI area, I've been binge watching these and been sending these to my Father-In-Law who is a retired Police Officer. You guys have really stepped up and I have to say probably one of the best ones so far. Thank you for your service and stay safe out there!
Got #1
Check out Merced Police Department!

There is still a cost barrier to it though. I know most departments that don't have giant budgets aren't willing to do one because of the price tag.
@@connorstohl6050 This wasnt funded by tax payers.
Dear cops from over the sea ...keep fighting the good fight! From the UK 🇬🇧
Yessssss. Thank you so much for participating and putting it out there. I love everything about this! You ladies and gents are legit bad ass. Thank you for your service.
Ditto! this is one of the best videos EVER!
Can we please bring this back? Damn it all, we need this now more than ever
My God ... this is amazing!
I am a former police officer in Buenos Aires (Argentina) and I think this could never be possible here. You are wonderful. All of you .... The whole city .. !!
I send you all my love and blessing...!!
Seattle, y'all got SWAG!!! Love this one!! Well done!
They're corrupt tyrants

Uh, hello Reggie.
On the Labo Piano no less.
Sorry, who is Reggie?
leerw Nintendo of America's president
leerw The president of Nintendo of America. He became a meme for his lines such as ''my body is ready''.
Not CEO, but COO.
Absolutely loved it. Stay strong stay safe we're behind you all and grateful for what you do for us.
Watching this today and thinking about you guys. Putting it all over Facebook, hoping people remember how much you love this city. Hang in there. 🖤💙🖤
This is an absolutely fantastic video! The fact that you included well-known locals of the city (Reggie at 2:30) AND had multiple parades down city streets shows the dedication to the video.
By far the best video out there. Love the comradery amongst each other, video creativity, and community involvement. Way to go Seattle PD!
The bluest sky's you will ever see on the SUNNY DAYS IN SEATTLE... AND THE BEST OF THE BEST. HAPPY UNIFORMS.
Those were good times. Clearly the best of the rest SPD! Thanks for entertaining us. Hang in there SPD. Stay safe.
Love from a NW Washington officer
I lived 20-40 minutes from Seattle my whole life and I’m proud of it!! I’m about to go over there today hope I get to see this type of energy from y’all like I see every time I go!!
How quickly people forget...RESPECT!
I hope for better
Our police take care of us❤
Wow, this is far and away the best one of these videos I have seen so far. Huge props to Seattle PD and all involved in making it!!
Actually a really good representation of the Seattle vibe.
Definitely. I love Seattle
@@ejwats101_3 how’s it going now?
@@chuckruckus3648 not as good
damn banana. ftp
I watched it to see "the vibe". A friend suggested that I move to Seattle once, knowing the type of person that I am, they thought I'd love it.
Love this!!! One of my top 3 videos in this challenge. Love seeing the PD and people from the community together having fun. Thats what it’s all about. People of Seattle- You did good! Awesome job!!! 👍❤️
I am from Europe and it is sunday and watching your batlles and you are good one of the best PD LS production.
Love to you all in the Seattle PD from Portland
#BacktheBlue
Absolute Excellent. I won't ever forget this one. Loved it. X Best Wishes to ya All xxx
Sad thing is that most of the young officers in this video no longer work for SPD, including the Chief, due to things that had nothing to do with Seattle to begin with. Absolutely tragic.....
Thanks again for your service and God bless you all law enforcement and be safe
I've been watching all the lip synch challenges and this one is BY FAR is the best. They look like they're having a blast and involved the community. I watch it at least once a day and it never fails to put me in a good mood and make me smile. I watched the interview for all these amazing people and they seem pretty awesome.

Just realized it's a Labo
(Recording finished)
Ok, that's all the time I've got. I gotta get back to playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf on my Nintendo 3DS.
I know I’m late, but growing up in Seattle, this video makes me so god damn happy! I love watching it! This is what Seattle and the people are all about! Not what your seeing on tv!
Bruh just stop
I got to WSU, I know what I see.
Congrats Seattle VERY WELL DONE!
Hi from Germany!
YES, Seattle! Woo-hoo, this is so awesome! (Seattle DOES win!)
Congratulations to the men and women who protect and served with the Seattle Police Department!
Congrats on the win SeattlePD! Thank you for your hard work and dedication and putting your lives on the front line to keep Seattle Safe! Go Hawks!
omg i have been binge watching these videos. This is hands down the best!!! Love from LA!!
Hands down THE BEST YET!!!! GREAT JOB guys!!❤! I SO wanna GO there and join you!!!

Great job, Seattle PD! Proud of you all! Seattle PD FTW! Shared on Facebook.
This department proves their exceptional performances here and on our streets protecting the citizens of Seattle! Thanks too for your service!
What a delightful way to introduce the hearts of those who wear the uniforms to protect and guard our freedoms. Please take care and know our nation would not be able to survive and thrive without your many sacrifices ...and your rhythm! Thank you for all you do! And for demonstrating such community spirit!

Wow that's like Professional work on that video.. Awesome!!! Lots of work into the making.!!
This lifted my spirits, Go Seattle! The Best in the West 🥰
Very well done..I work in Seattle and never seen this video till now. Someone put in a lot of effort and it was awesome.
It only took two years to go from this to CHOP
sad really...humans suck. glad i'm not one.
Finally someone called us out.
Summer of love. Don't ask any questions about the burning cop cars, the rapper who got a million dollar "scholarship" from Microsoft, the racially segregated 8 blocks of "mostly peaceful" songs and dance
My saviors ❤
Honestly, the entire thing seemed a bit ridiculous. I completely support protesting the police, but that area was filled with transplants.
One of the best pieces of subtle shade in the video was the fact Norfolk PD challenged Seattle and they threw in 3 former Norfolk officers with their old NPD uniforms and items at the “you don’t want no beef boy” line.
Classic.
Awesome job! Way to represent! Having a blast watching the police lip sync battles, you guys won in my book. Bravo!
I watch this video all the time! It brings me such joy! To know that u all put out a call to the community and to know they responded in masses makes the heart feel good. I don’t understand how it didn’t win. The difficulty of being able to lip sync to this song, the energy, the cameos and the video production! All amazing. (And the humor! Outstanding) couldn’t be more proud of the SPD representing! 💜💜💜
I thought they did win! Who won?
Who would’ve ever thought it would be hotter in Seattle than it is in SE Texas!!! #winning!
I've watched just about every video and you guys hands down beat out the competition
Between Merced Calif PD and Seattle PD it's a toss. Both are awesome!! Awesome both forces brought the community in on the event as I'm sure most of the challenges across the country did. It's so good to see after all the years of negativity and hate being the forefront of media's number one priority.
Fish Tossers! Space Needle! Monorail! Safeco Field! Oh my!
Ewan McEwan AKA home sweet home. I love being from Seattle Washington. Living in the great Pacific Northwest is the best. West coast best coast
Here in Seattle and so super proud to be from the best place in the world! PNW❤️ glad they did a Macklemore song too because he from Seattle, WA
I'm from Glasgow, Scotland but i'm loving all these battles. KEEP EM COMIN' BOYS!!!
I watched countless videos of these. There are plenty of good ones, yours is one of my favorites. Stay safe out there!
GREAT JOB SPD!!! You all killed it and I think it will take a miracle for another PD to match yours!
Having visited Seattle this last August and watching the lip sync challenge tonight, Seattle is the best! As a retired LEO, I spoke with some of the officers, as we are wont to do.

I can watch this over and over again!!!!
HOF Walter Jones chucking an fish to King Felix, and his smile, was the best part. Enjoyed seeing 2 time HOF Lenny Wilkens popping in!
ALRIGHT ALRIGHT!!!!!! NOW THAT IS THE BEST LIP-SYNC CHALLENGE VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!
great job!!! nice song selection! Thank you all for your service and dedication to your community. Stay safe!
Hands down the best police lip sync video. True to the original Macklemore music video, and then blended police and community together. Well done SPD, well done.
Absolute BEST! Way to represent, Seattle! 👍💗🎤💧
It's a little concerning how much fun you all are having with this LOLOL Great Job !!!!

What an awesome job Everyone did on this production. So now SPD can not only be proud of being a Fantastic PD, but at being Spectacular entertainers as well!
Thank you for all that you do in service for us (this goes for all police forces, nation wide) and Please, Stay Safe!
This has to be by far the best PD lip sync. Congrats, great video!
Must admit the best I've seen, the syncing was great, well done ! Looked like everyone was having a good time :-)
Awesome Video! Seattle's Finest Men and Women in Blue😎BUT the one thing that would have Really put this Video Over The Top was a cameo by Seattle's own
Macklemore😏
opusliveson I still swear that's him in the band leader outfit at 2:32
This is definitely not Macklemore.
Best lip syncing video still. We need to get another one done. It was good to be part of the filming.
OUTSTANDING. Thank you for your Service.
My police department which is the Seattle is the best!!
This is objectively THE BEST lip sync entry! And I'm CRYING right now because I get to call Seattle my home! 😭😭 💚💙💚💙
2:30
MY DAD
I've been watching a lot of these videos, but Seattle has surpassed everyone. Definitely deserved the win :)
This is terrific!! You guys rock!!! And thank you for your service!!

Holy crap !!!! We have a WINNER !!! Best one I have seen. Don’t know how that can get any better. NICE JOB SEATTLE
Love our men & women in Seattle 💚💙. You guys did an amazing job!! I call our crew THE WINNERS!
This is the best one I have seen!! Great job. I show it to everyone I can
Best lip sync video! Great song, great city, great production! Simply well done. Thanks for that! I'd love to know if Macklemore commented on this.
This is one of the best Lip sync videos i watch. Good job and keep up the work.
This is still one of the top best professionally orchestrated productions ****
You all kicked it to the MAX! The Best one I have seen yet! Rock steady Seattle
These videos just make you feel like dancing and singing along great!👌🤗🙋
Unfreakinbelievable! I have seen them all and this one wins! Awesome job!

Shellyman Studios love the city. Hate the price.
Shellyman Studios there is a bunch of cars and trash
Samuel500s Wolfe I don’t see a lot of trash, I’m stalking this city hard.
as someone that lived in Kirkland... also, the traffic... oh god, the traffic. A 6 mile trip to walmart took an hour with all the stopped traffic.
This is the best lip syn I have ever seen till now......
Love from india
WOW!! You guys Killed It!!!! Awesome Job!
Reggie?
