– Driver Pulled Over By Off-Duty Detective “I’ll blow a hole right through your F***ing head” (SHFTplan, July 28, 2015):
Have you ever noticed how plainclothes and off-duty police officers, often have a complete lack of awareness in regards to how they appear to the average citizen? Many of them don’t seem to realize that when you act like a cop, but don’t dress like one, you appear absolutely crazy and terrifying. However, one off-duty detective was recently recorded pulling over a driver, and he behaved in a way that would still be unbecoming of a fully dressed police officer.
The driver managed to catch the entire incident on his dash camera, which despite the date labeled in the video, happened last Sunday in Medford Massachusetts. After he accidentally committed a minor traffic infraction, the detective went ballistic.
The actions of some off-duty and plainclothes cops fall under the same criteria as no-knock raids. They can easily escalate an otherwise harmless situation into a lethal altercation, and get both cops and citizens killed for stupid reasons. This guy is really lucky to be alive. The detective has since been placed on leave by the Medford Police Department.
Stop apologizing for making a mistake! It’s called a mistake for a reason. No harm no foul. That pig was a fucking asshole! I will blow your head off! really?? For a minor infraction? He should be given a mental evaluation and fired!!!!
The new amoral government control has allowed power mad creeps to become cops, especially in high crime areas where many decent people won’t serve.
A growing number of disenfranchised people with no hope for a decent living find respite in underworld activities. Crime grows until it is out of control, most sane people in law enforcement seek work elsewhere than high crime cities. As a result, creeps like this are growing in number in law enforcement.
They used to use careful psychological screening when initiating a new police person……I wonder what they do these days. Sounds like they need to update their screening methods, and possibly recruit people with better pay?
