Just cause you a cop, don’t mean you can’t get these hands!

[chevchelios]

He was quickly reminded once again that he isn't shit without his badge, gun, and backup..

[infiniteaviation]

Officer or not, he's a person just like everyone else, that's what he gets

[carsandbikez]

This is wholesome AF. The fact that he felt comfortable saying this deserves another beating.

I don't always support officers being knocked out, but in cases like that, you get what you deserve.

"Stop hitting me, I'm a cop!"
Heard no one.

There is always 2 sides to a story. A left uppercut and a right cross.

Who's surprised?..this will teach him what his parents and the training academy DID NOT!.

[kreggeason]

Those who look for trouble usually find it either way just saying .

"Racist dude gets knocked the fuck out."

Perfectly balanced as all things should be

[prplezard]

as they say. "Don't let your tongue knock your teeth out"

They can’t treat his racism at the hospital though.

[SorenPenrose]

He should be fired. His racism proves that he will not treat people equally on the job.

[dynodin]

Imagine what he does when he's on duty in uniform. 🤔

[daylightbrightdlb]

They don’t require a high iq when it comes to being a police officer. Obviously it showed here

[dinwarith]

I'm going to say this again, alcohol and racism is not a good mixture.

[markinsacramento]

Hopefully he will lose his job as a LEO. We don't need that kind of bias "serving and protecting "

[prouddad]

He must thought he had his badge on when he said it…

[BrooklynBeTheBoro]

He just needed to have his brain rebooted. He apparently glitched out and thought he was in 1921 instead of 2021.
