JUST SKIP IT: Cop Fails Kids' Jumping Rope Lesson

This is the moment when a police officer wishes he had just skipped the chance to show off in front of a group of schoolchildren.

The cop - named only as Officer Wilson - was trying to keep up with the pupils in Richland, Mississippi state, USA.

But as the kids at Richland Elementary School soon showed him a clean pair of heels, the burly cop couldn't manage a single skip.

Footage of his hapless performance - filmed by a laughing colleague - appeared on the City's Hall's Twitter account.

The caption read: "Officer Wilson needs jump roping lessons from the kid in the blue jacket but he does get an A for effort."
