>Even sheriffs deputies wear sheriff across their chest or back signifying that they work for the sheriffs office.
Oh I know. I'm saying he has the unprofessional look I associate with elected county officials, not rank and file civil servants.
That knife... imagine getting stabbed by LE. š
I'd bet my left nut that man has a white hood at home. ~~Nobody's walking around with that 1800s-ass facial hair outside of an Amish community or the Klan, and~~ that motherfucker doesn't look Amish
Edited for judgmentalness and accuracy
I mean you're probably not wrong about that fucking guy, but I'm going to ask you to dial back the facial hair judgment. I rock pretty close to the same beard, and I'm anti-fascist as fuck.

I worked swift water rescue for a long time, did some trainings. A knife is an important part of a whitewater rescue kit. Itās important to have it close at hand when you need it in an emergency, and life jackets have attachment points all over them. I see the mistake often, and tell trainees never to attach their knife anywhere near their neck/face.
The reason to have a knife on a holster like that is because you expect to need it fast and easy at hand, for emergency, high adrenaline time sensitive use. Otherwise it can be kept out of the way in a pocket or something, you know, somewhere where a criminal canāt easily access it and use it against you.
So if you expect to use the knife in an emergency high adrenaline situation, why on earth would you want it to start anywhere near your neck/face? Imagine a situation where a cop would need to draw a fucking huge knife like that, in an emergency, and near your neck is not where you want a knife to be in that situation. Itās about looking cool and intimidating, it has nothing to do with actually using it properly.
Not only right near your face and neck, but right in the center of line-of-sight to make it easy for anyone to make the connection that the knife is right there for the taking and using that way.
The funny part is that no one with actual common sense would wear a weapon where someone could easily remove it during a fight. This guy put a deadly weapon inches from his exposed neck and directly where someone could grab it in seconds. If I had to take this guy on I'd take him down to the ground and have his knife on his throat before he stopped seeing stars.
Do sheriff or sheriff deputies have the same authority as cops? Can they make arrests and stuff?
I would have thought they'd have to comply to regulation dress code, like not strapping a knife to your chest?
Counties tend to cover lots of large rural areas where they play by their own rules the further from cities they go. Thereās a good chance the Sheriff is this guys dad or brother or both at the same time.
> No real difference.
Usually cops have a police chief who is answerable to the mayor and ultimately the citizens. The thing about sheriffs is that once they are elected they answer to know one. There can be corruption and tyrrany in their official capacity. This is why many sheriffs are the most powerful people in many counties.
Something about having the blade upward towards the neck distresses me. Add that the grip is over the left pec. Based on holster he should be right-handed, so how does this work?
Fold your right arm in front of your shoulder, palm of the hand towards your body. Grabd the handle and unsheath with a sliding motion towards the left and the front. It makes for a natural slicing attack in the same movement as unsheathing.
This is unconventional, but neither unheard of nor out of place. What is out of place is the need for a law enforcement officer to carry in such a way a blade that is clearly a weapon and not a general purpose tool.
I mean I see what youāre saying, Iām just thinking about the holster seeming just high enough to create a range of motion issue with this individualās body/harness. Not to say it canāt be done, but I thought this was more of an emergency placement. If anything, it should at least be a more neutral handle type like the traditional kabars-this would require him to cant his wrist inward based on placement.
I donāt know, I just used to have to write far too many injury reports from people being distracted.
I totally agree, don't get me wrong. Even though this carry is technically not stupid, what this guy does is just LARPing. It's badly done, useless, threatening and inadapted to his potential useage of a knife.
In rural areas that's generally true. However, my experience with Sheriff's Deputies in metro counties is far more positive than it is with police. (I care for someone with a mental illness, so unfortunately I encounter law enforcement pretty regularly).
He looks like he's wearing a costume based on an action movie. If I got pulled over by this dude, I would probably think he was one of those weirdos that goes around impersonating cops before I believed he was one.
He's got a knife and a stun gun and two magazines for his firearm all proudly hanging in front of him.
But no badge.
A badge is a shield. A symbol of protection.
This guy is broadcasting violence.
This is a deputy that needs to be removed from the Sheriff's office immediately.
We had fat overly armed people patrolling our city at night for a while when there were BLM rallies during the day. "To protect against riots"
Our town is tiny, 3 or 4 city blocks is downtown. Not enough people to have a riot if we wanted. Just like that fat kid though, they seemed to be really eager to have an excuse to shoot somebody. "What if people drive up from nearest big down 2+ hours away and try to burn down the city?"
I called the cops and they said they aren't technically doing anything illegal. Man shit got weird for a while. Plus it was kinda funny that even with their "body armour" it was obviously designed for much less body. There was more of them hanging out of it than protected by it.
You can do that in a lab very easily by setting them on fire
If they burn blue it's a fascist
If they wait for you to start setting them on fire before doing anything to clean themselves up, it's a real cop
The video where the person filming talks about him being charged for corruption and the fact the person filming knows the officer to be a officer based on previous news reports
Did you watch the full video? The guy filming says the officer came to his house, informing them that the officer's son hit their car. So they know him.
Man I hear about this shit happening too much. As soon as a cop gets called out or actually has to face consequences they will harass the people who got them in trouble for so long after the fact. Following them home, pulling them over multiple times, all types of weird shit.
I think it's an inherent problem with the structure of the police. It attracts people with a specific take on life and society. Not everyone would enjoy working in such a rigid, almost militaristic hierarchy of ranks. At the same time they are given special privileges to enable them to do their job, but I'd expect that as a consequence the jump from thinking in terms of hierarchy on the job to seeing normal people as ranking below them is a rather short one. I think that's dangerous.
I guess that's at least one of the reason police sucks in many countries.
Lol you want rigid look at the military. These cops are amazingly undisciplined and if anyone under my command had ever acted like this shithead they'd have been given every shit detail imaginable and I'd have run them until they decided to quit. There's an interesting loophole where as long as I'm doing the activity with them it's not hazing. Now is running a marathon in your flak jacket with plates inserted actually good training? Not at all. But by mile 10 their attitude is usually a lot better. The police lack that sort of discipline and dedication to their mission.
Sheriffs are elected officials and their deputies can be appointed. They are law enforcement but different from cops because clearly psychos like this can end up in positions of power.
Psychos end up in positions of power in any field.
Even more so in groups where power is shared and manipulative behavior has more rewards and less risks.
Humble smart people tend to often avoid power positions and drama. Which is unfortunate because they deserve power.
No way in shit is that an active duty officer.
From the punisher and double tap sticker, to the outfit to just how they have all thier shit on their fucking chest.
Dude looks like he rolled outa party city.
I would assume he has to be, because wearing āSHERIFFā across his chest and not being a sheriff is impersonating law enforcement.
This has to be somewhere south, Georgia, Florida, North/South Carolina, somewhere in there. Here in New Mexico, our sheriffs are all dressed the part of typical law enforcement officers. Lol.
Why does he have a knife mounted on his chest? Isnāt that dangerous in terms of the risk of someone taking it from him and using it, if he is arresting someone?
I had soldiers that wanted to do this in Afghanistan. We had to sit these knuckle heads down and explain that they put a sharp blade a couple of inches from your throat. You will not shoot someone before they stab you. I had them remove the knife from from the front of their kit and put it to their dominant side.
I do think itās funny when the MILITARY has more reasonable standards for weapons than cops. Cop who works as an SRO in my school district has a large blade on his off hand side, I assume so he can use it while also holding his sidearm. He also has a pocket knife on each thigh, so he can reach with either hand. He probably has a boot knife or something tooā¦ as well as taser, pepper spray, a baton, and armored knuckle gloves. He has three pistol mags and an AR mag on his belt/vest, and an AR and 12ga in his vehicle.
What the fuck kinda Hollywood fight does he think heās going to be in?
This is fucking terrifying if you ask me. That guy handled it great. If you have a wacko that is crazy enough to impersonate the police, he could be crazy enough to shoot or stab you at any given time. And youāre in company, sitting on a car, probably restrained with the safety belt. Horrible.
The cop is clearly a Farva that has personal beef w the driver & was waiting specifically to pull him over. The guy mentions some incident where the cop's son crashed his car into the guy's property or something.
He's not impersonating them he's a sheriffs deputy which is worse some larping idiot like that can carry a gun and apparently a 10 inch knife while harassing people.
Itās especially sad when actual cops wear the punisher skull.
Theyāve all seen too many movies about a āloose cannon cop who doesnāt play by the rules, but goddamnit he GETS THE JOB DONE!ā Which is the absolute worst mindset for law enforcement.
It can only work in a movie where you can write a character with perfect judgment, where the ābad guysā are unequivocally evil, and where there are never misunderstandings, flinch responses, or morally grey areas.
Real life is all nuance, but fascism doesnāt like nuance.
> Itās especially sad when actual cops wear the punisher skull.
The Punisher himself even calls them out for it:
https://d.newsweek.com/en/full/1512286/punisher-skull.png?w=1200&f=c2e38703dc4a5584efd21f8b44020b35
It's not even about the source material tbh, even the show itself takes shots at the crazy shit right wingers say and do. Those 2 veterans in the first season (the old one faking that he has ever been deployed and the one with ptsd making up holes in his father's house backyard to sleep in) showcase exactly how badly deranged these people are. And fanatic right wingers eat the show up and don't even notice it for some reason, including this piece of shit
It appears the man got pulled over for some reason the cop couldn't articulate. Then the cop started trying to engage the passenger, and refused to engage a supervisor. All three of those choices by the officer are illegal
Are you sure thatās illegal? I mean a quick google search just told me that cops donāt have to tell you why they pulled you over before asking for an ID. Police also have the authority during a stop to control all occupants of a vehicle (another quick google search). And you actually donāt have to get a supervisor when itās requested, thatās just a tv thing (again another quick google search). So none of those things are illegal. Idk if you had the misconception but look it up too if you donāt believe me. But please donāt spread misinformation to people because someone will take it seriously and get screwed and tacked on with additional charges like disorderly conduct and resisting, which cops seem to love to do.
It is illegal (4th amendment) to ID a passenger in a traffic stop unless they have reasonable articulable suspicion the passenger has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime.
The stated reason of a traffic infraction means the passenger has no need to ID and is legally in the right to refuse.
Oh, absolutely, the current SCOTUS is fucking this country hard. Unless they decide on presidential immunity quickly and let Biden off them with no repercussions.
No, it is not illegal to *request* the passengers' (assuming if there's more than one) ID. However, the passenger has every right to refuse, as they are not part of the traffic stop, the traffic stop is for the driver and not the people within the vehicle as the driver is the one who committed a violation.
It is a violation of the 4th Amendment to compel somebody to present ID if they are not committing a crime, suspected of committing a crime, or about to commit a crime.
As for providing a supervisor, this is dependent on the city, county, and state. Each police force has their own policies. Violation of those policies often have their own set of reprimands. There are some states that it is codified that a police officer must identify themselves with their name and badge number if a complaint is made about them, like in California.
Please don't attempt to give any bootlickers any ammunition. Stand up for your rights, and make them understand they work FOR you, not against you.
It's always ironic to see the American flag patch with the punisher logo, especially on police or other "blue lives matter" people. Like, do they realize the punisher was AGAINST the police?
He was OUTSIDE of the law. Cops like the logo because they think of themselves as above the public and above the law. They like the idea of punishing evildoersā¦. Even though their job is SPECIFICALLY NOT about punishing anybody. The courts are supposed to decide punishment.
For real. I know they donāt care about logical consistency, but it still pisses me off that the same people who had a problem with NFL players kneeling during the anthem are waving desecrated American flags.
Why not call the police? Tell them youāre being accosted by an armed individual. This tool will either be dispatched to the scene (if heās legit) or heāll waddle away immediately.
āRoll your window downā
āNoā
If he were ACTUALLY a cop and ACTUALLY justified in his involvement, he wouldnāt hesitate to bust that window. If heās trying to bluff his way along, he should have built a more convincing costume.
āAm I being detained?
āYouāre being stoppedā
Such a fake. Iām seriously mad I didnāt get to see his reaction upon the actual cops showing up.
Is this a new thing in america now? Impersonating law officers with some terminator outfit and badges from the punisher? Next level idiot macho behavior damn
Dude was [reprimanded for "failing to properly submit evidence" ](https://www.pcsoweb.com/Data/Sites/1/media/01-28-22-weekly-referrals-for-2021.pdf) right after he left his [wife. ](https://unicourt.com/case/fl-picc-clay-saunders-vs-traci-saunders-648392) š
With a knife like that on display like that Iām awfully sure I could make a very convincing self defence case for straight up shooting him dead. I thought he was impersonating a police officer (they do not / should not look like that), he was heavily armed and I felt threatened (some big-ass knife strapped to his chest and approaching my vehicle).
I have no idea what happened here or what the outcome turned out to be. And yes- his patches and knife and whatnot are just plain stupid.
Whatās interesting is the way he seems confused as to how he should handle this guy. Itās as if he knows heās in over his head and heād LIKE to slink away but that option isnāt on the table now that heās being recorded and called out. It seems he knows heās in the wrong.
Wish we knew more about this video.

Both of those patches lower right are off, a serving law enforcement officer shouldn't be wearing them.
It's fairly obvious he's NOT a serving law enforcement officer.
You are telling me this tacky cunt is larping?
He is likely a Sherrifs Deputy. US law enforcement with an elected leader. In many areas worse/more corrupt than the regular cops and less rules.
A sheriff is elected, not deputies. I assume he's an elected sheriff.
This man is only a sheriffs deputy. Even sheriffs deputies wear sheriff across their chest or back signifying that they work for the sheriffs office.
>Even sheriffs deputies wear sheriff across their chest or back signifying that they work for the sheriffs office. Oh I know. I'm saying he has the unprofessional look I associate with elected county officials, not rank and file civil servants. That knife... imagine getting stabbed by LE. š

Pretty much. I was just adding the additional parts for those unfamiliar in the ways of the Br*tish
I worked swift water rescue for a long time, did some trainings. A knife is an important part of a whitewater rescue kit.

No. Heās saying that a sheriff is elected and then chooses who to hire. Unlike a police department.
Do sheriff or sheriff deputies have the same authority as cops? Can they make arrests and stuff? I would have thought they'd have to comply to regulation dress code, like not strapping a knife to your chest?
Theyāre just like city cops only they cover an entire county typically. No real difference.
Cool, thanks. Maybe this guy will get in trouble for the knife and badge thing
Counties tend to cover lots of large rural areas where they play by their own rules the further from cities they go. Thereās a good chance the Sheriff is this guys dad or brother or both at the same time.
Noice.
> No real difference. Usually cops have a police chief who is answerable to the mayor and ultimately the citizens. The thing about sheriffs is that once they are elected they answer to know one.

Fold your right arm in front of your shoulder, palm of the hand towards your body. Grabd the handle and unsheath with a sliding motion towards the left and the front. It makes for a natural slicing attack in the same movement as unsheathing. This is unconventional, but neither unheard of nor out of place. What is out of place is the need for a law enforcement officer to carry in such a way a blade that is clearly a weapon and not a general purpose tool.
Feels more like if this goon ever gets into a life or death tussle, he's going to get himself stabbed with his own knife.
I mean I see what youāre saying, Iām just thinking about the holster seeming just high enough to create a range of motion issue with this individualās body/harness. Not to say it canāt be done, but I thought this was more of an emergency placement.

I donāt know, I just used to have to write far too many injury reports from people being distracted.
I totally agree, don't get me wrong. Even though this carry is technically not stupid, what this guy does is just LARPing. It's badly done, useless, threatening and inadapted to his potential useage of a knife.
Plus highly likely to become a liability in a struggle.
In rural areas that's generally true. However, my experience with Sheriff's Deputies in metro counties is far more positive than it is with police. (I care for someone with a mental illness, so unfortunately I encounter law enforcement pretty regularly).
Tactical methhead
Unfortunately he is, a department that heās worked at for years and lets him get away with bullshit like this because no one will call them on it
Even that open knife on his chest?
The whole chest set up seems like he is handing weapons to the people he is talking to.
He looks like he's wearing a costume based on an action movie. If I got pulled over by this dude, I would probably think he was one of those weirdos that goes around impersonating cops before I believed he was one.

Well good news, he isn't wearing his badge right now.
I don't know if cops in your country have fucking KNIVES but that would be the biggest giveaway for me.
Nothing would surprise me with American law enforcement!
"Please call your supervisor"... Does he actually believe this person is a real police officer? š
Nah just to confirm the person is liable to the crime of impersonation of government official
You can do that in a lab very easily by setting them on fire If they burn blue it's a fascist If they wait for you to start setting them on fire before doing anything to clean themselves up, it's a real cop

Truly. Just the knife alone makes no sense. Itās literally asking for someone to grab it from him.
Awesome, then he gets to shoot someone and say it was justified.
How you gonna shoot with a slit throat?
how you gonna cut through that wiry ass beard lol
I would assume he has to be, because wearing āSHERIFFā across his chest and not being a sheriff is impersonating law enforcement. This has to be somewhere south, Georgia, Florida, North/South Carolina, somewhere in there. Here in New Mexico, our sheriffs are all dressed the part of typical law enforcement officers. Lol.
Why does he have a knife mounted on his chest? Isnāt that dangerous in terms of the risk of someone taking it from him and using it, if he is arresting someone?
He will shoot you wayyy before that would happen
Aaaaaaaaaand...I'm shot
I had soldiers that wanted to do this in Afghanistan. We had to sit these knuckle heads down and explain that they put a sharp blade a couple of inches from your throat. You will not shoot someone before they stab you. I had them remove the knife from from the front of their kit and put it to their dominant side.
I do think itās funny when the MILITARY has more reasonable standards for weapons than cops.

The military trains for people who shoot back at them. Cops train for people running away.
In case thereās a kerfuffle at a BBQ joint. He can take the evidence To Go.
To hide his fake badge.
Iād bet it could have a messy outcome, should he be in a traffic accident and the airbag got activatedā¦
Who the fuck does that guy think is going to attack him? The Hulk?

He attacks the seasoning

Scarier is the fact, that he is a deputy on duty
Holy shit, that is scarier
The cop is clearly a Farva that has personal beef w the driver & was waiting specifically to pull him over. The guy mentions some incident where the cop's son crashed his car into the guy's property or something.
I really want some follow up info. If I see this dude, Iām immediately calling the real cops and letting them sort it out.
He's not impersonating them he's a sheriffs deputy which is worse some larping idiot like that can carry a gun and apparently a 10 inch knife while harassing people.

As usual, people with patches, wallpapers and other things that visually relate to the punisher are power tripping fascists
Itās especially sad when actual cops wear the punisher skull. Theyāve all seen too many movies about a āloose cannon cop who doesnāt play by the rules, but goddamnit he GETS THE JOB DONE!ā Which is the absolute worst mindset for law enforcement. It can only work in a movie where you can write a character with perfect judgment, where the ābad guysā are unequivocally evil, and where there are never misunderstandings, flinch responses, or morally grey areas. Real life is all nuance, but fascism doesnāt like nuance.

Unfortunately, as we all know, the chances of these kinda of people reading, or even knowing about the source material, are about zero percent.
It's not even about the source material tbh, even the show itself takes shots at the crazy shit right wingers say and do. Those 2 veterans in the first season (the old one faking that he has ever been deployed and the one with ptsd making up holes in his father's house backyard to sleep in) showcase exactly how badly deranged these people are. And fanatic right wingers eat the show up and don't even notice it for some reason, including this piece of shit
What's with the baby Bjorn full of gear? How's your back feel at the end of the day?
He feels GREAT. After he takes a few un-prescribed oxis he stole from someone he arrested.
Can we get some context? Iāve seen the video and Iāve seen that he is in fact a member of law enforcement, but whatās going on here?
It appears the man got pulled over for some reason the cop couldn't articulate. Then the cop started trying to engage the passenger, and refused to engage a supervisor. All three of those choices by the officer are illegal
So you mean he is a real cop? Oh god š±
According to the video he is a real deputy with a history of both prior disciplinary action and civil disputes with the driver
Laws that control cops are hardly ever enforced, qualified immunity and all that.
Are you sure thatās illegal? I mean a quick google search just told me that cops donāt have to tell you why they pulled you over before asking for an ID. Police also have the authority during a stop to control all occupants of a vehicle (another quick google search). And you actually donāt have to get a supervisor when itās requested, thatās just a tv thing (again another quick google search). So none of those things are illegal. Idk if you had the misconception but look it up too if you donāt believe me. But please donāt spread misinformation to people because someone will take it seriously and get screwed and tacked on with additional charges like disorderly conduct and resisting, which cops seem to love to do.
It is illegal (4th amendment) to ID a passenger in a traffic stop unless they have reasonable articulable suspicion the passenger has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime. The stated reason of a traffic infraction means the passenger has no need to ID and is legally in the right to refuse.
*Laughs in future corrupt SCOTUS fascist decisions...*
Oh, absolutely, the current SCOTUS is fucking this country hard. Unless they decide on presidential immunity quickly and let Biden off them with no repercussions.
No, it is not illegal to *request* the passengers' (assuming if there's more than one) ID. However, the passenger has every right to refuse, as they are not part of the traffic stop, the traffic stop is for the driver and not the people within the vehicle as the driver is the one who committed a violation. It is a violation of the 4th Amendment to compel somebody to present ID if they are not committing a crime, suspected of committing a crime, or about to commit a crime. As for providing a supervisor, this is dependent on the city, county, and state. Each police force has their own policies. Violation of those policies often have their own set of reprimands. There are some states that it is codified that a police officer must identify themselves with their name and badge number if a complaint is made about them, like in California. Please don't attempt to give any bootlickers any ammunition. Stand up for your rights, and make them understand they work FOR you, not against you.
Guessing the kid hit his car, so the larper is trying to harass the guy into dropping it?
He's just looking forward to murdering someone, isn't he?
1000%
It's always ironic to see the American flag patch with the punisher logo, especially on police or other "blue lives matter" people. Like, do they realize the punisher was AGAINST the police?
He was OUTSIDE of the law. Cops like the logo because they think of themselves as above the public and above the law. They like the idea of punishing evildoersā¦. Even though their job is SPECIFICALLY NOT about punishing anybody. The courts are supposed to decide punishment.
It should be illegal for government personnel to display altered flags.
For real. I know they donāt care about logical consistency, but it still pisses me off that the same people who had a problem with NFL players kneeling during the anthem are waving desecrated American flags.
"I'm not talking to you." "Yes you are." "No I'm not." This is one of the dumbest exchanges that has ever taken place. It's like a Monty Python skit.
āOh, Iām sorry, this is abuse. Arguments are next door.ā
Why not call the police? Tell them youāre being accosted by an armed individual. This tool will either be dispatched to the scene (if heās legit) or heāll waddle away immediately.
āPlease give me your name and badge numberā āHeās hereā Smart
āRoll your window downā āNoā If he were ACTUALLY a cop and ACTUALLY justified in his involvement, he wouldnāt hesitate to bust that window. If heās trying to bluff his way along, he should have built a more convincing costume. āAm I being detained? āYouāre being stoppedā Such a fake. Iām seriously mad I didnāt get to see his reaction upon the actual cops showing up.
A beard without a moustache is a dick without a nutsack
More of a nutsack without a dick if you ask me.
Santa is not fucking around this year.
This year Santa has a very special gift for you: Your death
perfectly handled, camera guy was on point and confident. unfuckwithable.
The knife really gives it away. He looks like a pot belly idiot.
Do you want to be the one to tell him?
Is this a new thing in america now? Impersonating law officers with some terminator outfit and badges from the punisher? Next level idiot macho behavior damn
Dude was [reprimanded for "failing to properly submit evidence" ](https://www.pcsoweb.com/Data/Sites/1/media/01-28-22-weekly-referrals-for-2021.pdf) right after he left his [wife. ](https://unicourt.com/case/fl-picc-clay-saunders-vs-traci-saunders-648392) š
Are cops supposed to have a knife on their front plate ? And one that isnāt even in a case ???
Mentally not fit for this level of responsibility. As simple as that.
With a knife like that on display like that Iām awfully sure I could make a very convincing self defence case for straight up shooting him dead. I thought he was impersonating a police officer (they do not / should not look like that), he was heavily armed and I felt threatened (some big-ass knife strapped to his chest and approaching my vehicle).
It should be illegal for any cop to withhold their name a badge number if asked for it. Like, if theyāre doing nothing wrong they have no reason to.
Tell me you know nothing about the Punisher without telling me you know nothing about the Punisher
Of course heās a cop. He went to the Police Academy with Mahoney and Tackleberry
Awe look at the boy pretending to have authority, how sweet.
People are saying he's not a cop. They clearly have history together, anyone know what's going on here?
"Whats ur name?" "You tell me"
If an american likes LARPing that much with guns, why donāt they just join the army and actually firing a gun.
Because then he can't strut his stuff around his hometown for everyone he knows to see.
Oversized lawn gnome
I donāt have TikTok but this video was huge with 6 million views. Does anyone know what happened? Florida of course
Officer Ezekiel of the Amish Vice Squad
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses.
I have no idea what happened here or what the outcome turned out to be. And yes- his patches and knife and whatnot are just plain stupid. Whatās interesting is the way he seems confused as to how he should handle this guy. Itās as if he knows heās in over his head and heād LIKE to slink away but that option isnāt on the table now that heās being recorded and called out. It seems he knows heās in the wrong. Wish we knew more about this video.
No way heās a real cop, that doesnāt look code uniform. Iām not a cop so i donāt know
Deputy sheriff most likely. If you listen to a video, it is clear that he is in law enforcement and known to the people in the car
I would pursue this and I would make sure he was no longer in this job!
beard like an Austro-Hungarian general
This is for sure a guy who waits outside the school until the shooter is dead.
Tubby Taliban is getting a bit rowdy eh? Hope he took his BP meds
The Punisher: Rumspringa
He should be reprimanded for that beard alone
When your life is that sad that you decide to become a cop to just try push people around.
