The video quickly spread, showing Kid Rock’s appreciation for those in uniform, even after a night of what we assume was lots of partying.

Though he appeared intoxicated, Kid Rock made it a point to greet the officers, offering each of them a handshake, which they seemed to appreciate. After the exchange, he jumped into a Suburban and waved to the crowd, humorously flipping them the bird in his classic style.

Despite his typically bold public persona, many viewed Kid Rock’s gesture toward the officers as a sign of respect, just proving you can have a little fun and honor law enforcement at the same time.
