Glad to see our taxes being put to good use :facepalm

That guy at the very least needs to be fired.

[aj1987]

Apparently that guy doesn't work for the NYPD.

Just love the dudes response in the backseat at the end tho

"Are you on fare?"
"Yes."
"So this guy's taking time out of your day with blah blah"
"Sure:

They must've updated it.

Welcome to New York.

Welcome to New York.


You need to start your own Taxi Business.

[fiddy]

the police officer seems senile

[Dresta]

Couldn't watch it all it was so annoying. But thanks Bloomberg for making about a billion different petty offenses in NYC, and thus giving police free reign to harass people for just going about their day (also, who knows if Uber is being specifically targeted here - that company is pissing a lot of people off):

[Patrick Chewing]

I would have been giving him the third degree right back. Either give me a ticket, arrest me, or get the **** outta my face and let me drive on.


I can defend cops to a certain extent, but this guy needs a beat down.

[oh the horror]

That was cringe worthy. What charges is he referring to?

Taxis overcharge for rides. Not to mention a lot of cab drivers are new in town so they have no idea where they're going.

I remember a couple months ago my car broke down and i had to use a cab for work. It's a 15 minute ride but it cost me nearly $40. I only used a cab because public transportation would take nearly an hour to arrive

[BigNBAfan]

i emailed him and told him to look in the mirror, he's the true terrorist.

[9erempiree]

Is it me or am I the only that thinks the cop did nothing wrong?

Cop didn't get violent and didn't lay his hand on the driver. They are in a position of authority so his actions were justified as long as he didn't beat up the guy for no reason.

You kids need to toughen up. This generation of liberal PC America scream foul play even at getting yelled at.

What's next? High school football coaches are too tough?

1. He's on the terrorist task force, has nothing to do with motor vehicle citations

2. No traffic violation warrants verbal assault like that.

3. He had no right to open and slam his door without probable cause.

The cop didn't have a reason to pull him over. I always support the cops, but the dude was a straight up dick. It's not about getting yelled at. The cop abused his authority and went on a power trip. If the driver snapped back at him, the cop probably would have hurt him. Oh, and he slammed the guys door shut. That's what pissed me off. You don't do that to a dude's ride.

[NumberSix]

This cop was a straight up scumbag.

[Pushxx]

Business as usual in America: politicians and law-enforcement disregarding the Constitution more and more each day.

You're a complete idiot.

[9erempiree]

I don't get it.

Cop didn't touch anyone but suddenly you can't yell at a guy.

I am going to side with freedom of speech here.

[dude77]

the cop took it a bit overboard .. just a lil bit

[Kungfro]

Everyone agrees the cop was being a racist asshole, and your argument is that he has the right to be a racist asshole?

[9erempiree]

I usually don't side with the cops and in this instance the cop should have done more. In this instance, and the state of the world, there were many red flags that the officer missed.

First of all the driver is a Muslim. Big red flag. Only been here for a couple of years, the cop should have pulled the guy out of his car and checked up on him. This is the only thing I fault the cop and this is a reason why most people are mad about the cops behavior and that he didn't do more.

Not this crap again.:facepalm

I don't agree with Islam and I am racist.

Cop asks, "What planet are you from?"....he's a racist.

"How many years have you been here?"....he's a racist, when in fact the driver has a distinguishable accent and perhaps he didn't know the laws of the road.

Like I said, the camera didn't come on till long after the incident. We don't know what this Muslim did.

I get it, you guys are mad that a cop didn't do more towards this Muslim.

He's not a Muslim. He's a Hindu. Way to generalize all brown people, 9er.

:facepalm


BTW, you can hear the passengers saying that the driver didn't do ANYTHING and that the cop was on a power trip.

Cop is probably getting fired, BTW.

[oh the horror]

And that's how it should be handled.


Hold that man accountable for flying off the handle over nonsense.


He held a position of authority and he blew it. Sorry.

I'm guessing he's just getting transferred / demoted. The power drunk son of a b1tch is lucky he still has a job. He really shouldn't be on the force though. Not after that tirade....

The unfortunate reality is that job naturally draws a lot of people with that temperament, and the authority it entails also naturally fosters that temperant whether you start with it or not. Yet we still need people to hold those jobs.

If you fire every guy that acts that way, youre going to have a shortage of trained and qualified officers. And those who are capable will be able to demand higher and higher salaries because there are so few candidates to choose from.

The guy didnt put on his blinker. Dick move, and I personally hate that shit. Okay, so the cabbie honks his horn. Reasonable. The cabbie also gives him the finger. Well, you just gave the finger to an off-duty cop, you basically gambled and lost, so now youre gonna get chewed out by a wannabe tough guy.

The cabbie didnt get any tickets and he didnt get assaulted. You really wanna fire a cop over this? Come on man. I know sensitive girlie-men fly into a rage of personal anguish every time they see someone with authority use it, but a verbal chewing out is not that big a deal.

Unprofessional, yeah. Reprimand him, suspend him, fine him, whatever, ok. Fire him? This is one of those dudes paid to run into building if its attacked and innocent people are in harms way. Uhh, I'd rather have him still available to do that even if it means a few inconsiderate cab drivers get ripped.

You wanna fire a guy who puts himself in the line of fire as a job over this? That doesnt help anything.

[Draz]

This just got me pissed. I just don't care, how do you treat other people like that? I don't get it. There must of been something boiling inside of people to behave like this when put in a position of power.

His wife must of gotten boinked by a black man

There's no denying he's someone who's put into position of power of saving lives. But so are soldiers. So are other police officers. So are fire fighters who go into burning buildings to save lives. This ever happens to you in specific and believe me you have your whole life ahead of you for that to occur, you'd go balls in on the situation. Don't forget you also have family and friends who may encounter shit like this.

There's a huge difference between doing your job and the way you do the job you're doing. He's not the only one trained to serve and protect. He chose that career the career did NOT choose him.

I sense youre struggling to find the right "voice" for this alt. I feel like youre already doing "simple minded with bad grammar" on plenty of other gimmicks. Dont be lazy. Create some real depth for this guy, instead of just using the easy generic fallback.

Im challenging you to really dig deep and find your inner creativity to put into the Draz gimmick. He doesnt have to be a real outlandish character. But dont just do the standard "poor english will make it harder to connect this guy to my real account" trope. It's completely uninspired.

Good. And he should stay on desk duty, assuming he is even capable of that.

How in the fvck do you know the driver is a Muslim? Because of his skin color? So all white people are Christians now? That cop was being slightly racist. You're most definitely racist. End of story. Never understood why ISH tolerates racism.

I don't even think you know what racist/racism is. :facepalm

I may be slightly generalizing here but I am no racist. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it's not a mongoose.
