They're all Thugs

Keep the pressure up.

Record them and make them famous on youtube.

A Massachusetts man was driving in the town of Medford last Saturday night. He admits he took a wrong turn and ended up going the wrong way down a traffic circle.

However, how wrong a turn might his life have taken if the events that followed had taken a slightly different turn.

In dashcam video posted to YouTube by a driver who only gave his name as Michael, he is confronted by an angry man in a white tank top and shorts.

The angry man steps out of a truck and approaches him. Michael, seemingly -- and perhaps understandably -- frightened, reverses. The angry man follows him and Michael stops.

The angry man appears to show his badge and identifies himself as a police officer. Some, though, might be troubled by the officer's greeting: "I'll put a hole in your head."

Michael is apologetic and explains to the officer -- now identified as Det. Stephen LeBert -- that he is being recorded. LeBert suggests that he will seize the camera.

"I'm a f***ing Medford detective and you went through that f***ing rotary," says LeBert. As Michael insists he didn't see a sign, LeBert demands his license.

"You're lucky I'm a cop, otherwise I'd be beating the f***ing piss out of you right now," LeBert adds, shortly after calling the driver an a**hole.

And his cop buddies back him to the hilt.

They all think they are above the law and can act in any manner that they choose with impunity.

That's just it, because of the attitude of so many Americans.......they can.

You see, we are all supposed to give thanks to the Lord our God that he sent these brave heroes to circumvent due process and the Constitution in the name of protecting us from ourselves.

Heil Ronnie!

And they're pretty much correct.

Rawhide!!!!!

But not truthfully trolling.

The percentage of such, ahem, "cases" is incredibly low: especially those where any wrongdoing actually occurred.

Paying $15K (for example) is merely a fee to go away, the equivalent of a $50 citation you don't feel like fighting. Actual guilt would have demanded more $$$.

Interesting that you think this asshole detective in Mass is a "good guy".

Interesting but far from surprising.

Meh.

Drive safe.
