more cowards in blue hiding behind guns and badges, #$%$ pathetic, should be fired then thrown in jail, if you cant handle being a cop, dont do it, its not assigned to people, they go and become one of their own free will, most are deranged losers who had no friends in school, then they get out and find a job where they will be accepted as cowards and so they can get back at people who they feel wronged them

Thankfully, the guy in the car was composed and disciplined enough not to antagonize the crazy, ballistic cop. Otherwise, the guy would have probably been beaten or even killed, and the whole thing would have been covered up some way by the cops. I'm really beginning to hate cops with a passion. Even the so-called "polite police officer" cared nothing about the guy's horrible experience, but instead only tried to protect his fellow officer. Good job, driver in the car. Hopefully, you'll get the charges dropped, a sincere apology from the department, and satisfaction in knowing the fool cop was fired. That may be asking for too much. The chief already said the cop was "counseled" after the incident. More protection within the ranks.

CHIEF SACCO GETS BLASTED IN THE NATIONAL PRESS

Dashcam catches off-duty cop threatening to put 'hole in head' of driver

The incident might remind some of the New York cop -- also off-duty -- who expressed his displeasure at an Uber driver's maneuvering by offering racially-tinged invective and a lot more. In this case, it was the passenger who recorded events.
Not every police officer behaves this way. But there's something about the aggressive entitlement in both cases that is troubling for anyone who fears being in exactly that sort of situation.

Sacco told the Medford Transcript that LeBert was a good policeman. He added, perhaps unfortunately: "If you work hard you do step on people's toes, which generates complaints."


This doesn't appear to be stepping on toes. Indeed, as Michael told WBZ-TV: "I thought that guy was going to kill me."
