Yeah not so much. Any regular citizen would have been cuffed and stuffed the second he admitted to popping hydrocodone. He should have been arrested for leaving the scene of the accident immediately. The gang in blue works for themselves not the public. He even had adderall that he didn’t have a script for…anyone else would have caught a felony just for that. Fuck the police

This officer needed to face the consequences of his actions but I really hope he is able to get off of everything.

As an adult when you decide to take medication(s) that may be addictive, you are responsible as well.

Except he was taking pills he WASN'T prescribed. He claimed to have bought them off the Internet, but that's just more BS.

[@daftmario123]

One of my friends who was in a Stryker brigade was (eventually) being prescribed 400-500mg of Oxycontin a DAY from the San Francisco VA. He had to lie to his doctors about smoking weed because since it was a federal agency, they didn't recognize any legality of weed despite being in f'ing San Francisco of all places. He finally got a new doctor assigned to him, she was more into holistic medicine. He told her he smoked weed and she said that if it was helping him, he should continue doing it, and slowly weaned him off the 400-500mg of Oxycontin. Once they had weaned him off, he told me that while the weed obviously didn't kill his underlying pain completely as much as the Oxy (he had a shoulder replacement, hip replacement, etc. from an IED blast) he preferred to not be addicted to pills anymore.

[@zackreed6010]

This is one of those rare instances where I feel real sympathy for the man. He seems to genuinely be going through a difficult time and needs some help desperately but there is still never an excuse to put people's lives at risk, ESPECIALLY when you have sworn an oath to protect and serve those same people. I'm so glad things didn't turn out worse. 🙏❤️

I think the bodycam program was a great way to keep cops accountable but I feel like it's now just being used in the wrong way.

They could be a psychopath 😐. Also telling someone they seem nervous (whether they do or not), will certainly make them.

homie works a stressful job and probably found some relief in those pills. shame it had to be this way, but at least he straightened out.

[@jackson_craft_gamingscates9324]

that boi out there running the streets loaded on zanny bars while locked and loaded for battle

[@jameshays947]

‘“Addiction” by definition is not the problem. The problem is abuse.

[@DevotedDisciple-x]

8:55 Correction. You can't take prescribed narcotics and drive.

[@electronash]

3:24 "Eating McDonald's aaaand... drove the curb." ? 3:36 "Unfortunately, I was one of the students." ? 4:39 "I honestly didn't, I was trying to get my McDonald's to eat it." ? 6:33 He was essentially saying there that they can't get away with anything any more, because of bodycams, and the public are always watching. lol

[@comradeconrad3636]

"Just had elbow surgery" *as he casually sways both his arms with out issue or any signs of 'just getting out of surgery'* 😅

[@jimmyjones1266]

They're so cordial to each other

[@hedduyou]

Dude should’ve popped half a Xanax before the cops got there and smooth talked his way out of it with 0 nerves haha

[@travisreid9530]

Mixing uppers and downers. Dangerous, reckless.

[@RossDAwgOfficial]

Even when cops dont let cops get away with crimes they still slow play it in hopes when they do a blood test they will be down to the legal limit, they can never just treat everyone exactly the same

[@hank689.5]

If there were no cameras this wouldn't have even happened on the record Serve and protect EACH OTHER

[@JohnUsp]

I think someone on McDonalds put drugs on his hamburger.

[@achxd]

"loosing" lol

[@yokaitoybox7649]

I had to take hydrocodone after dental surgery. I ofc followed the prescription and I still got so drowsy, it's a wonder how I didn't fall asleep at my desk. I made sure I was always at least three hours out from my last dose before I had to drive anywhere or I would wait to take it till after I drove. Even if this officer was taking the correct dose I can't imagine thinking driving an hour after taking hydrocodone is a good idea, that's when it would really hit for me. I personally didn't like the feeling and I was happy when I didn't have to take it anymore. I hope anyone with addiction to that stuff gets help.

[@paidphatz1460]

17:00 the ultimate finess😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@user-nb4ft5eb4s]

Man had the whole damn candy store

[@lonewolf6364]

Dude served the country, time to get him some help.

[@Dan-cm9ow]

The too scared to walk straight excuse is a tough one for a cop. If that were true how's he gonna act in a real emergency?

[@MikeRivNY]

Perfect example of why you respectfully keep your mouth shut!!

[@markwing7066]

BRO dug his own grave , as a police officer he is probably the dumbest one I’ve ever seen. Shut up and get a lawyer!!!! Dude!

[@kevindonahue6071]

Sad, clearly is battling demons/addiction… wish him and anyone struggling the best

[@StolTechInc]

The irony of the song lyrics in the background: ”Nothing’s gonna’ stop us now!”.

[@Havøc_Varangian]

lol the captions made a boo-boo lol it’s HGN Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus it’s one of the test they perform on DUI/DWI stops with a pen or finger to see if your eyes track and follow without jumping or head movement. I was in LE for about 7 years and had to have CE and Wet labs for my yearly required continuing education hours to keep my Peace Officer license here in Texas. There’s HGN and VGN testing that they perform in those classes lol and I bet he wouldn’t have passed them it were performed on him at this point 😂

[@user-xr2vl1vq2i]

Ronald McDonald is very disappointed that his Big Mac, Cheeseburger & world famous fries were thrown under the proverbial Golden Arches.

[@Squatch34]

All I see is myself watching this. I’m a Sober addict and veteran. Man I never want to go back to this…

[@IAmSuzyQ]

The most ironic part of the last officer's arrest, is that he was on his way home from the wet lab. A “wet lab” is where officers are trained on identifying alcohol/drug impairment, and the proper administration of field sobriety tests. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@salamanderz5847]

Damn just think how nervous he’d been if we wasn’t jacked on Xanax 😅

[@redpepperdave]

I'm certain he popped a bunch of those pills right before the cop pulled up lol damn he was tweaking hardcore

[@jamesdavis5096]

2:24 they stopped putting curbs on highways in 1940. Only Arkansas has them still

[@claymac7895]

This guy either should have just invoked his right to remain silent or been totally honest. He only made it worse.

[@JohnDoeEagle1]

Most Cops would not answer questions and would ask for a lawyer.

[@trixielonglegs8320]

Where's the STOP RESISTING STOP RESISTING PIFF PIFF PAFF

[@wk2466]

The average person experiences 2-3 traumatic events in their life, the average police officer experiences 800. Just as many in the military who suffer from substance abuse so do first responders but it’s not ever talked about. You can’t expect people to see and do such things and be fine.

[@nckhed]

This guy is roughly 37-38 now and looks much older for his age, but not in a bad way. I'm 36 and most people think I'm in my mid-20's, even with a full beard.

[@sonicbm]

He definitely got these non prescribed drugs from upstairs

[@mjnoir1]

he made the classic mistake he spoke to the cops he was hoping they were going to cut him a break

[@lisamarielund6292]

It’s sad that this officer lost his SWAT career because of his addictions. Drug and alcohol addictions are a hell of a monkey on your back. I was prescribed Oxy after a tooth procedure. It was amazing. My tooth pain was a 9 out of 10 & the Oxy absolutely zapped my pain, my pain level was at zero. I took it for 2 days and didn’t need it after that. I never even finished the bottle, I guess I don’t have an addictive personality. Some people absolutely do have addictive personalities & they have to really be careful with alcohol and drugs.

[@AlbertHess-xy7ky]

We all have a story to cover weaknesses.

[@detcordxxxi]

Addiction can grab ahold of anyone.

[@Vecchio244]

Addiction takes a toll on everyone, and no one is immune regardless of your job. I feel for this guy because he has obviously taken a lot of speed, and can't stop twitching. That is a nightmare situation to be in.

[@kieranwatt1937]

agreed, but when you have the power to put someone in jail for the same thing YOU are doing, then you gotta come down harder.

[@andresc5915]

Ngl… I don’t think I could walk straight (heel to toe) while sober. ☠️☠️☠️

[@jojotheicb5138]

Dontchya just hate it when that McDonald's sneaks up on you? Shit's dangerous... Don't Cheeseburger and Drive folks 😂😂😂

[@AngelReyes-vc1be]

He’s saying to him in a nice way. Bro you messed up way too bad to sweep this anywhere.

[@0xdreadnaught]

"nothing to worry about if he took a prescribed drug" yea ... no. that prescribed drug has a label on the side that says don't drive, it's there for a reason.

[@colinmarshall9155]

I'm prescribed a high dose of ambien, and there aint no way in hell that's what he took.

[@tylerraisl3939]

Dose of his own medicine....now you know how we feel
