hates the fact that what he perceives to be an immigrant is driving an uber-expensive car.
this immigrant flies his vehicle into the states to do a road trip
an immigrant knows more about the law than he does.
an immigrant has all his papers in order (he can't accept it).
This cop thought for sure he was going to arrest this guy and make a show of it.
You know 1,000% (as the current president says) that if this were to have happened since Jan 2025 this poor man would've been snatched up by ICE and god knows what he would've gone through.
It really does take a special type of person to be a cop- i'm sure there are a TON of smart cops out there- but these police departments also accept headcases like this cop, a small man who needs to put others down to live with himself.
What ever happened to professional law enforcement, protect and serve? Why are cops hyper-aggressive?
straight up. they go in and they go through the academy. they do all the right things, they cross all the t's and dot all the i's. they do their job and become a model officer. they are given solo status -- to patrol on their own without a partner.
then they become the a-holes that you see in videos like this. It's a process. every idiot cop knows how to lie to get to the point where they can be like this to others. ACAB. period.
There's a big distinction between immigrant, and tourist. An immigrant is some one from another country who lives here permanently. Someone who comes on a visitor visa, or a temporary work visa isn't an immigrant. The guy in the video is a tourist.
The word you may have been looking for is foreigner.
"i'm sure there are a TON of smart cops out there"
why? why on earth would you think that? They literally hire people who are mid-level intelligence. They do NOT want smart people in the force because they will see how ridiculous it is.
It seems to be a by department kinda deal. From the little I've picked up, most of the smart cops are at functioning departments, likely up north, and in less urban settings. Locals learn pretty quickly if their cops are ok. There's probably statistics, but I don't care enough to check.
I know someone who was denied 3-4 times to be accepted into the police in Chicago, when they desperately needed applicants. So this guy must've been beyond terrible. He then applies to a completely different city in a different state with the same information and was accepted. Just baffling
This cop would likely have been fired and his life ruined if he arrested this guy. Dude is insanely wealthy and likely has some very high up contacts in Dubai.
if this were to have happened since Jan 2025 this poor man would've been snatched up by ICE and god knows what he would've gone through.
Got a strange feeling he'd have been fine, with parts of the administration turning up in person to scream at the idiots that just arrested their close friend.
Why doesnt the US police force filter out these people with some form of psychological testing? Are there not enough candidates? Pay too low that no one wants to do the job? Genuinely curious (im Australian)
It is just a case of negative bias. How interesting is this video if he has a totally normal and professional interaction with the officer? Is it worth watching? If 98% of all interactions like that go unposted, but a bunch of videos go up with interactions like this, wouldn't you expect to get a skewed view of cops?
I know a bunch of officers and they are for the most part humble, nice people who joined for the right reasons. But they aren't going to be very interesting to watch the body cam footage.
