    Man, Do i respect this guy. Kids in the back crying, you drunk as fuck, and about to go to jail. Does that stop him from being racist? Fuck No! What a winner. Can’t see why his wife left him?

        The vet stuff was more of a “im fucked up so i can pass this test.”

        The “same team” screams “HOW DARE YOU HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE!”

    Just fucking keys on that dude having an accent halfway through being arrested. He’s so drunk he can’t walk a line but the Nazi shit is reflex level.

    Dude would have been dragged out of his car and tased and ziptied if he was brown. Broski was given time to leisurely talk to his kids through the back window before discussion behind the vehicle.

      100% but somehow we’re uncivilized and need to be policed more. Meanwhile, the most dangerous places in America isn’t the inner cities. We still have sun down towns in America.

      Yea the most notable part of the story is that the cops actually did their job and arrested him instead of letting him go as soon as they heard he was a fellow cop. If the guy played it a bit cooler and wasn’t so belligerent and racist to them they probably would have.

      How is this not the highest comment here. Regardless of who he works for, this guy absolutely got little kid gloves even after being aggressive during the test and most importantly HE ACTUALLY RESISTED ARREST!

      I know I shouldn’t be hoping for someone to get police brutality treatment but I’m just fucking fed up with this shit

        I’d rather most stops were more like his, if I’m to be honest. Meaning, treating the person as if they are a human (even if the guy does come off like an entitled douche). I have a feeling if it was him pulling over someone brown, it might look like some of the clips I’ve seen Meidas posting, where ICE is ripping open a car door and pulling people out of a car, getting them on the ground, etc. I have a feeling these guys were being more than deferential because of what his job was.

        This guy was actually doing something dangerous in his case - driving under the influence. Granted, I don’t know the full context of those ICE videos I’ve seen short clips of, but it sure seems they are escalating things rather quickly and only because they are brown. Do these people really need to be hauled out of their car, wrestled to the ground, etc.?

      Watched an ICE protest live in IL a few days ago, and the best part was a guy on a loudspeaker going “hey, that cop look Mexican. Why don’t you check his immigration status?” Or “that cop looks a little brown, you sure he’s an American? He could be a protestor.” Lmfaooo

        C’mon bro, I’m white. The two pillars of law enforcement are supposed to be fucking with minorities and being totally unaccountable under the law and you’re really violating them right now. Let’s just get these cuffs off and go throw this Hatian guy off the bridge together.

    The officer proceeded to administer field sobriety tests. During the tests, another officer came over to ensure that Deiseroth did not stumble while trying to walk a straight line along the side of a busy highway.

    Deiseroth then questioned why the second officer, who was Black, was there, and the officer informed him that it was to prevent him from getting hit by oncoming traffic.

    Deiseroth responded by repeatedly asking the officer, “Are you Haitian?”

    Deiseroth was then informed by the officer administering the sobriety test that “it doesn’t matter” where the other officer was from or his heritage.

    “Yes it does,” Deiseroth replied.

    Ignorant sack of shit to the bitter end.

      It makes me wonder what type of rhetoric he’s hearing internally at DHS. Is that why it “matters” if the officer is Haitian? Are they being instructed that Haitians are higher on their shit list or something?

        It’s just a handy question to intimidate any black person in general. They start threatening to take them in until they confirm their citizenship, which should only take a few days. Most people will back down, no matter how innocent they are.

    After failing the sobriety tests, Deiseroth was placed in handcuffs and informed that he was being placed under arrest. He then pleaded with the officers to not take him to prison and asked what they were going to do with his two children.

    … I really don’t think I could properly express my sentiments about both the level of parental care and hypocrisy on display here in a way that wouldn’t get me at least a stern talking-to by some fed dipshit,

    So I’ll just leave this article about teenagers and young adults who have been forced to become caretakers for their younger siblings after their parents were kidnapped by ICE (arc) instead

      Its not hypocrisy, because he doesnt see his victims as humans of equal value. In his eyes the suffering of his victims is actually a net improvement for society.

    A woke officer arrested one of our strong ICE agents. We need to send in the Fascist Taskforce and replace that loser governor of Florida.

    I’m not defending this guy in the least, but as a recovering alcoholic, this was hard to watch. You never know when you’re going to hit your rock bottom, but if this wasn’t it for him, I don’t know what it would be. Getting pulled over with your kids is awful.

    I’ve been sober for years, but you always have to keep your guard up for triggers, and have an emotional support group that is willing to support you. I know his occupation, as well as that of the cops that pulled him over, is controversial, but I just hope he is able to pull through this. His kids deserve better.

      Hot recovering alcoholic take but dude endangered his kids and then showed them how to be an ass, not for the first time I’m sure. This is the “rules don’t apply to me” mindset that comes with being in a paramilitary. I sure do hope this was his rock bottom because his next one might involve those kids dead.

        Thanks for shitting on an admitted alcoholic, for feeling empathy with another alcoholic. I’m glad his kids didn’t get physically harmed, but I am very aware that something like this emotionally harmed them.

        Thanks for being part of the problem and not the solution.

        Everyone can down vote me into oblivion, but addiction in all its forms should not have a stigma attached. I lived most of my life not realizing that I had a problem. I’m very thankful that I did eventually realize I did.

        But again, feel free to cast judgement from your ivory tower. Talk shit on addicts, make yourself feel better.
