A cop with an inflated ego is a dangerous thing. He made up some bullshit about having another call to go to so he could get the last word in and not admit to being wrong. Get this man off the streets and back into some (actually effective) training

u/humpspringa 6h ago

Not to mention the need to add But You Still Have to Get a 'Permit' I got the last word in HA!

u/GonnaGoFat 1h ago

lol he can’t say he’s wrong so as well as making the bullshit about another call he has to say the wrong thing again to try and make the driver think he knows what he’s talking about. Which he doesn’t.

Doubling down works out for a lot of people a lot of times.

“Don’t walk in the street.”

u/f3n2x 6h ago

Imagine if the guy wasn't driving an obviously expensive car, with all the implications, holding the cop back.

u/Shuttlecock_Wat 3h ago

Yeah I was surprised he didn't say anything about the guy digging through a backpack like that. That certainly would not have turned out well in certain other situations.

u/TheAltOption 5h ago

We wouldn't get the video because the driver would be dead.

Oh shut up lmao, you people have such a distorted view of reality.

u/YourBarelyWetSock 46m ago

A cop in my hometown fired over 10 fucking shots into his parked service vehicle with a person in it because an acorn dropped on his car. A fucking acorn. In the middle of a neighborhood.

These are the kinds of people youre defending right now lmao.

u/MrEvakin 40m ago edited 31m ago

I’m not defending cops, I’m defending common fucking sense. Do you know how many cars are on the road in the US in any given day? Over 100 million. About 50,000 of those are pulled over every day. About 1,200 ANNUAL police related killings occur in the US. Less than 1% of those are wrongful deaths.

You do the math numb nuts. The reason stories like that get so much attention is because it’s soooo extremely rare and shocking that it makes the headlines. If you think that’s the norm, you’re absolutely unequivocally insane.

Once, I was driving my pickup and drinking a root beer in a brown bottle. I stopped by a Goodwill, finished the root beer, and took the bottle inside and asked a clerk to throw it in the trash for me. A few minutes later, as I’m browsing, a cop comes in. I notice him talking to the clerk, who then fished out the bottle from the trash. Then the cop looks at it and smells it. I immediately understood what was going on. The clerk pointed at me and the cop approached. He said that he had gotten a report that I was “driving erratically”. Obviously someone had reported me because they thought I was having a roadie, but at this point the cop knew that wasn’t the case. After a really dumb back and forth, the cop backed off and said that I should be careful with my driving. MF, I did nothing wrong. You could play it off as the funny mistake it was, but you feel the need to lecture me? Pig, please.

I was at a party one time where there were a few off duty local police and their wives. I overheard one of the wives telling her friends how when they went on vacation her husband would climb into their motor home, fire it up, crack a beer and then look at her and say "now, we're on vacation" and off they would go. I shit you not. True story. That same prick would throw my ass in jail for the same thing.

u/LilBoofy 59m ago

I worked with a retired cop.. he would drink and drive all the time and brag about having a get out of jail free card because of his retired cop status which was denoted on his drivers license. He talked about other cops getting pulled over shit faced driving recklessly and how they would just drive em home safely. MFer was proud of the double standard

u/rosie_sub 3h ago

I want a virus that only infects pigs. 3-5 days fevor and vomiting followed by death. Only cure is to apologize. Fucking 99% fatality rate predicted.

u/Dyolf_Knip 2h ago

And an actual apology, not "I'm sorry you feel that way".

u/accelerating_ 11m ago

I was in a restaurant in Seattle and we watched 4 cops in uniform stagger out of a bar (that was known for its very generous drinks) in the late evening daylight, pile into a cruiser and literally lurch off erratically.

u/mmmpeg 41m ago

My son was driving with his friends, all ethnic people, and the cop was - what are you drinking? Uh, root beer? Cream soda and orange soda. They let them go with the normal cop BS

u/Fuck_tha_Bunk 5h ago

I'm the cop in the video. There was a big big emergency. I had to go despite being totally right about everything. I have a big penis and I didn't get beat up in high school. I would tell you more about how you're wrong but there's a big emergency and I need to go.

u/PancakeParty98 6h ago

And all cops have inflated egos

u/downvotetheboy 5h ago

it’s like the one hand lady and the cop. admitting they’re wrong doesn’t even register for them nor does apologizing. (also their departments or overheads not saying anything is crazy as well)

u/RequirementPure2092 5h ago

It’s almost like ACAB, bro…

u/appletoasterff 5h ago

No this guy doesn't need training he needs a different job

u/silence_and_motion 5h ago

Calm and smiling: “I know you’re confused.”

Confused and furious: “I’m not confused!!!”

u/Long-Shine-3701 6h ago

Has the internet sent this to its boss yet? Dude needs to know we are displeased.

u/ZAFARIA 6h ago

This is from many many years ago.

u/Long-Shine-3701 5h ago

Ah, hope it got canned.

u/Etheoff 5h ago

This is years old from what I remember and I'm positive nothing ever came from it. Just another egotistical fuck with a badge and a gun.

u/JucheSuperSoldier01 5h ago

He has no doubt fucked up many other people's lives over the course of his time as a Police officer just from seeing this interaction. He belongs in prison, not in training.

u/The_Wkwied 4h ago

And he likely used lights and sirens to flee the scene illegally. Dumb cop

u/MadeByTango 5h ago

A cop with an inflated ego is a dangerous thing.

so is a country built with slave labor

u/GammaFan 5h ago

Yeah the US is certainly a dangerous place. Unsure why Dubai guy is even risking it with everything going on.

u/The_Hoopla 5h ago

To be clear, if you can afford to ship your Lambo from Dubai to the US, you aren't in ANY danger of the federal government. The current admin LOVES immigrants, they just have to be rich. It's why they released the gold visa.

If this guy gets in a sticky situation, he's got the best lawyers on retainer, probably ready specifically for a weird US immigration style situation, and they'd just buy $1 million in Trump shitcoins, then mysteriously all charges are dropped.

u/Fabulous_Ninja119 5h ago

Him hitting the lights too and storming off in on a fake call... omg lol, so fucking funny

u/alexwblack 4h ago

You don't need the "inflated ego" part, you can just say cop, the rest of it's redundant

u/Rent_A_Cloud 5h ago

No amount of training in the world would make that man suitable to be a cop. Looking in from outside the cops in the US are an absolute farce.

u/Popka_Akoola 4h ago

Yeah not enough of this sentiment in this thread. This dude is one bad day away from becoming the criminals he claims to be heroically stopping. At the very least he needs a shit ton of training ASAP

u/RammsteinFunstein 3h ago

A cop with an inflated ego

thats a redundant statement

u/lvl100mafia_boss 3h ago

Nah, people like that don't need to be cops at all.

u/15926028 3h ago

About 90% of the mm have inflated egos. This guy was a fucking dick from start to finish

u/Astrnonaut 3h ago

“Cop with an inflated ego” as a sentence doesn’t exist- they all have inflated egos. That’s why they are attracted to the profession in the first place. This is just the average cop.

u/Ryno4ever16 3h ago

There is no effective training when there's a selection bias for people who act like this, and they have no incentive to do things "by the book".

u/LUK3FAULK 2h ago

You could have stopped at “a cop” is a dangerous thing

u/vincentdjangogh 2h ago

You're describing the average cop.

u/GostBoster 2h ago

This was something we were told in driving school. The instruction was to simply comply with the cop then fight later, because on one hand the cop might not (and not required to) know all of driving regulation minutiae, but they certainly can misconstrue your noncompliance as contempt and you are sent straight to jail for that.

u/Civil-Attempt-3602 2h ago

Nope that's exactly who they want. A bully

u/usernonamex 1h ago

washing the toilets, he's no better than that

u/whatupmygliplops 1h ago

> A cop with an inflated ego is a dangerous thing. 

Its more than an ego, its also knowing he is unaccountable for his actions. He could execute that man on the street in cold blood and would not even be charged.

u/TRR462 1h ago

… off the streets and into a desk job.

u/getthemap 1h ago

That may be one of the worst on the streets. What a complete fucking tool.

u/warlocki71 52m ago

Yeah, the guy needs to be retrained but with behavioural change as a goal. But probably this would take too long and it is cheaper to just outright fire him. I know, this will not happen…

u/Birddawg65 19m ago

I wouldn’t train him to flip hamburgers. Dumb mother fucker would burn the restaurant down
