Kind of off topic, but trucker mentioned so its relevant i guess
Retireegeorge@reddit
It's sad actually. I mean even if he was misfire and even if he is abusing his power, as far as I can tell from the clip his acting out was verbal and he didn't directed his anger at a grown man. There's no doubt he should go back to training but he should also get the focus of emotional health care by management. I hope it isn't the precursor to a tragedy. I have generally lost hope in American police from what we see online. Especially the failure of the political system that funds dysfunctional management in letting some really dangerous people be cops. But I think I can relate to this case. ITT, people joke about divorce and other sources of stress but if it is the case it is sad rather than funny

the “then your fucked” honestly made me spit my drink out

Maybe he’s one of the “good ones” we keep hearing about lmao. Usually fresh faces in the force that haven’t been gotten to yet. But that only lasts so long when you aren’t willing to be one of the boys
Fredlyinthwe@reddit
I work with a cops dad, took his son 5 years but even his dad says he's a dick now. F
Hamhockthegizzard@reddit
Yeah I knew a guy who honestly was bullied a lot growing up, but was a good dude, pure heart. Joined the force and I questioned it, he said he was basically doing like animal control and he understood that there are bad cops and all this stuff. I thought maybe there’s hope for him. Somewhere after 2016 he shaved his head and started spewing hate speech lmfao
WildImportance6735@reddit
Right 😆
Meatyparts@reddit
Nah his grindr account got banned

This is great. When you pack,pack,pack all day, sometimes you just have let it out. (Comedian John Bowman has great set about it on you tube).
Bbt_igrainime@reddit
Can you drop a link? I tried searching but no luck.
RCP7700@reddit
Sorry I tried too. His stuff is no longer on YT apparently. I saw him 20 yrs ago as an opening act. He’s not the funniest in ever seen, he just has a great bit about mentally packing peoples bs every day. It’s out there somewhere I’m sure.

So much love for pigs in this thread

So he was fucking woth semis cause governor office wants them too? Fuck the governor and him for being a boot👅
planetbuster@reddit
i mean, the guy aint wrong, hahahahah
Environmental-Pear40@reddit
I mean, I think it's a very humanizing look for the police. Everybody in every profession has been there, or will be.
Various-Ad-1583@reddit
Rather have this than a ticket(cop let him go after dumping his ziplock bagged weed)

King0Horse@reddit
Many years ago when I still drove like an asshole, I was making my way down the expressway, quite fast. I see lights behind me. I pulled over after looking at my dash. I was doing 92 in a 65.
The cop walked up and leaned into the window and YELLED "Where the FUCK are you going?"
I was caught off guard enough to just blurt out what I thought the answer was: I said "Jail?"
I was right!
SpecialRegular1@reddit
I’ll never forget witnessing Cops running a speed trap on this 30mph stretch of road. I suddenly see the officer who was clocking the approaching traffic that just left intersection a 1/4 mile away toss his radar gun into the median and starts flagging down a car that must have been standing on the accelerator pedal since the light had turned green.
…as he was tossing the radar gun, he shouted to the other officers “Ninety six!! NINETY SIX MIKES PER HOUR!!” and right after the guilty driver pulled over his Mercedes Benz, exited the car and walked to the back of the vehicle and placed his hands on the trunk awaiting his arrest.
ParticularArrival111@reddit
That's far too many mikes.
ThePeterbilt589@reddit
Mike's Hard Lemonades (😎), or Mike's Per Hour (still too many if you're a self-respecting slut)?
SharkDad20@reddit
Only Bonnie blue has ran through that many mikes in an hour
SpecialRegular1@reddit
Who wouldn’t expect to be arrested after that many mikes?
ThePeterbilt589@reddit
Bro told his own future 💀
Outlandah_@reddit
As per usual, ACAB lol
SharkDad20@reddit
If this was an isolated incident, since he let the guy go with no actual lasting repercussions like a ticket, i could see this as just a human reaching a breaking point from multiple causes. I know we’re biased against cops and they should be held to a higher standard, but I dunno. Im not convinced hes a bad person from this alone
RebelTvshka@reddit
I'm very strict with cops, but even I agree this wasn't bad. Was it a violation of his rights? Yeh, but the outcome wasn't bad.
SharkDad20@reddit
It is bad, really, i think the actual rotten cops have set our bar too low, lol. I see this as forgivable. not career-ending, but still falling short of what a cop should be
RebelTvshka@reddit
Oh absolutely, however unprofessional it is, he's human. If it's forgivable, I'm willing to give it a pass. It's a learning opportunity and so long as he demonstrates better decisions later, it's not bad in my book.
Outlandah_@reddit
You couldn’t commit maybe 20% of your faculties to notice how absolutely wrong it is to treat any person who is barely speeding like this? It’s a callous overreaction at best, and at worst a mechanism of an underlying condition packaged conveniently in a power trip. The only saving grace is that this is being recorded in boy cam and cruiser footage for the superintendent to see. There is never any world I would live in where this kind of behaviour is acceptable from law enforcement on any basis, Only a fool would be unable to see that.
SharkDad20@reddit
I’m not saying it’s acceptable. I’m saying this one bad moment, which i agree is bad and deserving of reprimand, doesn’t convince me he’s bad altogether. I am not quick to judge one off of a low point, especially if that low point is having an emotional breakdown.
The argument was with ACAB, not “this isn’t okay”
Outlandah_@reddit
What are you actually talking about, man? Law enforcement officers should never be having emotional breakdowns about dudes driving 10mph over the speed limit. Fuck outta here with that.
SharkDad20@reddit
No, they shouldn’t, i agree. I think you’re missing my point. I’m just not gonna write someone’s entire career off due to yelling. The guy flipped him off and interfered with his work and also drove recklessly, and then tore into the cop as soon as he got to his window. I wanted to yell at someone who cut me off, slammed their breaks, and then flipped me off because he was too stupid to pay attention to the lane’s lines. I didn’t yell at him because i had kids in the car, and maybe this cop needed therapy and some forced time off, because it’s dangerous to not de-escalate. But i feel you’re too quick to say ACAB. Idk, im always advocating for not judging from one low point if nobody got hurt.
Alimakakos@reddit
Pornhub being banned in some states is really getting to people
WillingnessOk3081@reddit
it's weird and maybe I am not hearing it correctly but it sounds like the driver is saying "I was running his license plate".
That can't be right but that's what it sounds like
Indentured-peasant@reddit
I would've told the cop he had a headlight out When you're in cuffs you might as well have balls of steel
Medical-Row-662@reddit
Damn he lost it hahaha. I guess his retirement came faster lol
moisdefinate@reddit
Oof! I was only doing 60! The speed limits 40 ouch!!!
That officer let loose, I knew the driver was in for it that second the cop said "Step outta the car"
Parasight11@reddit
This shit is hilarious. For any wondering, he did let the guy off without a citation.
PearlMillingCompany@reddit
This officer was given desk duty after this, which was probably a reward to him.
Parasight11@reddit
He didn’t actually give the guy a ticket, as another user shared the link to what I am assuming is the original article or at least one of them.
FitJuggernaut8166@reddit
Officer: Is it in the original dispensary container 🫙? Driver: No Officer: Then you’re fucked 😂
Parasight11@reddit
Fucking gold lol.
Wazzisname@reddit
The guy should have offered the cop a snickers bar. I'm sure he'd settle down after that. ;)
SeaRow556@reddit
Ai slop

I’ve seen people be shot for less by police. Not arguing, I’m trying to get home safely.

This made me laugh
Internal-Fruit-1482@reddit
This was me year 18 in the military. I was fkn done. Lol.
AKsuperslay@reddit
Driver had just shut his mouth head's been okay.The cop literally tried to leave if he had shut his mouth and threw his weed away , he'd been fine
PoopyStinkbutts@reddit
This is Reddit it's illegal to say anything like that about a cop "What the FUCK do you think you're doing?!?"
eride810@reddit
He let him go anyways. He cooled down enough before it was over to realize that he he wasn’t doing himself any favors

Words of wisdom: “Just mind your own FUCKING business!”🤣🤣🤣
Driv3rsDiary@reddit
That is the 'Q' bridge entering/exiting New Haven, CT. I'm a local driver so I know the speed limit in that area is 50mph. Many accidents and deaths due to speeding on that bridge even with state police presence people still drive 70+
ThanksALotBud@reddit
Thats a Connecticut state trooper who suffered no consequences for his actions
Driv3rsDiary@reddit
He did desk work for a while and forced early retirement.
ThanksALotBud@reddit
He was already retiring. He even says so in the video.
Once again, he suffered no consequences.
Everheart1955@reddit
Why would anyone with a modicum of intelligence argue with a cop? They catch me speeding, I’m like “hmm I speed everywhere and once in a while I get bagged”
relayer77@reddit
Cop is 100 💯 correct tho
andre3kthegiant@reddit
Amazing how the driver in the tank top is mic’d up so well.
Slater_8868@reddit
The body cams have very good mics for that reason
BriskManeuver@reddit
Idk if its fake but im thinking it's because the cops mic device is picking up the driver better in the closed environment when hes in the car. You can tell the audio quality of the driver is more quiet when hes outside in the noisy environment while the cop is very clear..though he is yelling lol

Right? Crashing out like a whiny little 12 year old boy and be placed on leave.

Or don’t be a sensitive little baby cop

An emotionally unstable wielder of power and authority. It’s no good.

Oink, oink.

It almost feels like a skit. This cop is ridiculous, what a fucking baby.

ScaryfatkidGT@reddit
Could be but I’ve experienced close to this…
Dude in an undercover speed up so I couldn’t get over after I signaled so I sped up to like 90 cut him off, got over and slowed back down.
He pulls me over and is like “wtf were you doing?”, I said “You saw what I was trying to do, wtf were you doing?”
Took my license, then came back THREW it at me and said “LEARN HOW TO DRIVE” ran back and squealed the tires of his minivan taking off, no ticket or nothing
PowerUpTheLighthouse@reddit
“Officer, do you know why pulled you over today?”
Laffenor@reddit
"Officer, do you know why you pulled me over today?"
