“Having a bad day” as a cop means someone’s innocent life in danger

[dr.realshit]

Takes full responsibility because he was caught on camera

[guiltyuntilproveninnocent.]

“Don’t curse at me”
Cop - “what are you gunna do about it” …. Exactly why so many people are disgusted by police officers. I’d bet my right arm that if he wasn’t a cop he would NEVER talk to that man like that.

[darrylmadison]

“ I’m having a bad day”. Love that excuse.

[serious]

"What are you gonna do about it?" True sign of a bully. He needs to be fired.

[nellegoode]

I am so sick of “it’s not a reflection of who I am”!

Yes, actually it is!

[xaviercarr]

Can you imagine what this police officer would have done if no cameras were recording?

[nguday]

I love how the media always pulls out good things that a cop does when they are in a bad situation, but never do that if someone is being arrested, had a "bad day". Double standards.

[ebenezer]

Only thing the officer regrets is getting caught.

[petetreleaven]

"What are you gunna do about it?" While putting his hand on his holster.... oh what a big man we have here. This means ego is dangerous, along with many more just like him.

[robertgrainger]

Having a bad day as a cop means somebody's life could have a bad day, the fact that they keep officers like this employed is despicable and harmful to the community as a whole..and the hate keeps getting earned.

[texan]

“I was having a bad day” excuse us getting old !!!

[KevinSun]

"I'm an emergency vehicle" as if being an emergency vehicle means you can't almost hit anybody.

[infood]

The cop says that's not reflective of him. Dude, it WAS you.

[theodorenahas]

This is not a officer having a bad day. This is a officer that acted like he thought he could because he thought he would get away with it.

[ede-jomadden]

people need to recognize that all their behavior is a clear reflection of who they are. Misbehavior when you're having a bad day simply says you're unprofessional and unable to control yourself. It's still you.

[timothylim]

Doesn't matter if you're having a bad day, it's called professionalism. If you can't deal with the every day stress and pressure of the job then pick another profession.

[jimbrewer]

I've heard it before: "I was having a bad day."
I'm sorry but, as a cop, having a bad day does not give you the right to be a prick!

[ThePeachtree]

“What are you gonna do about it?”

Fighting words.

[kenwilson]

This officer has shown us who he is. Believe Him
