Looks like the school of Jeremy Dewitt’s graduates are at it again.

I'm an Armed Security Officer and seen this happen many times unfortunately. 🤦‍♂

[bryce]

It’s actually scary how accurate this guys uniform seems to be

[youngjock]

That's scary! He looks pretty convincing to me. Most of us who aren't schooled on what to look for on the uniform wouldn't have questioned him at all. And the fact that he looks creepy as hell makes it even more terrifying.

AFAIK it's legal to dress like a cop, belt, mags, gun, cuffs etc. as long as they are legal in your state. I don't think you can have "Police, sheriff" etc. on the uniform, but as long as you don't try to enforce law, or tell people you are police, it's legal.

He’s lucky he’s in Atlanta . They will probably give him barely any time

The doofus stance is icing on the cake.

Man, in South Africa, Somalia, Uganda, Nigeria, we need so many Police Officers, Blacks, who can speak English. Come here. Pay 300 Dollar for your Police license and you can be a Cop. You buy Police Stuff for over thousands of Dollars, but refuse to go to Africa? This is insane 😅😅🤷🏿‍♂🤷🏿‍♂

How can someone mangage to get ahold of the exact same graphics as the local Police Department and put them on their vehicle?

[Kim-vwnx]

Very disturbing He is impersonating an officer to hurt women most likely

[ndFcRecon]

APD arresting someone impersonating an officer....how ironic. 😂

[watchtheirhands]

i'm sure there is some kind of infringement violation here. dude identifies as a cop and what right do we have to deny him that right? did they even ask him for his correct pronouns?

[ChiefHarris]

Yall think this is crazy, there needs to be an investigation into the security companies here in Texas, its wild how often this happens lol

[DirtCheapFU]

People say this is scary situation because he looks convincing. It doesnt have to be. When a police officer approaches you, it is not a one way street if you haven't done a crime. If they talk. You talk. If they have a gun. Pull your gun, first. Call 911.

[sarahmiller]

That is very close...as a private investigator he could have fooled me but his facial express was a red flag.

[Savagegangent]

I believe I saw him on another video impersonating an officer he was directing traffic at a construction site I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure it's the same guy in that video he claimed he was from Atlanta but he was working out of his jurisdiction but he got arrested in that video as well

[ronalddavis]

damn is he carrying an old cowboy gun like matt dillon

[bksson]

YOU ONLY HEAR ABOUT THIS IN GAYLANTA ONLY🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈💩🎯🤨

[LeChucky]

Why people try always to impersonate an agent and dont apply for an agency job?

Are they family of Jeremy DeWitte?

[HeSoAtlanta]

If the kids made it ok… later this is will be a great drunk story time
