Here's the thing: Unmarked vehicles SHOULD NEVER be used to conduct traffic stops. Period. There are too many stories about fake police to have the confidence you're being pulled over by legitimate police. In this case, if that Ranger had his gun out prior to contact - for a traffic stop - it sounds like termination is the corrective action.
Sure there is….. it’s called reckless driving. It’s actually super dangerous and deadly. You can be locked up for it, if you aren’t cooperating he can pull his gun. There’s no evidence besides a 911 call where there’s no camera and a guy who WAS reckless driving claims some bs. I’m with the trooper.
@@thereisnosuchthingasanativ904 You are also probably with Ringling Bros? I'm not even defending the driver, he's a fucking idiot too, but this trooper saying what he said about citing him but can't, speaks volumes, I don't know how you can be w/him.
@@thereisnosuchthingasanativ904 Did you watch the video the ranger brake checked him. The other guy was not driving recklessly. The ranger got upset with getting flipped off and went overboard. Even he said it himself
If all it takes is a middle finger to get him to pull his gun and lie his a$$ off as a cop, he is far too unstable to be entrusted with authority. There needs to be zero tolerance for this rampant insanity.
Yeah well it's THEM with the zero tolerance for anyone responding negatively to them. Probably beats his wife too if he was able to con someone into marrying him that is.
I agree and seen it for myself. Had cops intimidate me numerous times for doing lawful things that they don’t like. Such as questioning why they showed up instead of an ambulance I called for an injured man along side the road and the 3 cops refusing to take him to the hospital themselves. Even had them show up at my door for calling that same cop out online on a public website and then making up false reasons for coming to my house. Citrus county sheriffs office.
Agreed. Once this policy is written in stone, the consequences and money departments will have to spend investigating these officers will definitely lead to some changes
He also said that he had to take evasive action to avoid being hit, but the other driver didn't cross the center line. Break that down. If the Ranger had to take evasive action to avoid being hit, the two cars had to be in the same lane of traffic to be close enough to collide. If the other driver didn't cross the center line, then that means the Ranger *did* cross the center line into the driver's lane. Even his lame-ass lies admit to guilt, but he wants the other guy punished.
The problem with SO MANY cops today is that they are out there with their "sensitive" f e e l i n g s making horribly poor judgments. THANK GOD for phone video! ! ! !

"Corrective Action" is another word for "nothing". They told him he shouldn't do that and he said "okay" and then they laughed and went out for a beer. Having retired from the government I know exactly how these things go.
I have been chased by a personal truck in plain clothes in Blount County, TN. It happened years ago a cop had road rage because I passed him when he was going super slow in a lane that ended further up the road. He chased me without lights or anything in his personal vehicles and called his on duty buddies to pull me over. I was speeding after he started chasing me, I was on my way to a place I could have people to help me in seconds. Next thing I know I am surrounded by 10 cruisers and they couldn’t even give me a ticket.

He's not fired because he's black and the citizen's white. If he was white he might be fired. If he was white and the citizen black he would be fired and facing felony charges.
Jonathan James I agree. Yet we continue to vote for spiteful. A moral vindictive Demotwats. When are we going to learn? Not to say the other side are perfect however most of the situations I have seen where people throw their weight around have been leftists. Like the New Jersey port authority woman who gave a yard of lip to state troopers when her daughter was pulled over.
It’s infuriating that he’s struggling to figure out what to cite him for. Given the officer’s actions, there should be no doubt what laws he has broken. Very telling…
They're giving him a chance to retroactively justify what he did by blaming the other guy, rather than questioning him about why he pulled a weapon and pointed it at an innocent person.
Wow. I missed that part of the video. Could you please give the time where that occurred? All I caught was the State of Texas saying that he acted out of policy and was disciplined for his actions...
The Texas Ranger lied about when he pulled his gun and that the was hit by the other driver. I think he should suspend for 6 months without pay for lying. We must be able to trust officers of the law to tell the truth.
this is very similar to what happened to me and my friend. the of duty officer actually followed us back to our place and didn't back of until I started explaining that I had no idea he was an officer and how he was acting was very aggressive and irregular
Sounds like the reckless driver a-hole instigated the entire event. It only escalated b-c of the rudeness of the 1st driver. As an experienced older (professional) driver, I've seen the hatred for others. The disrespect of life on highways (how people drive, threatening others ALL AROUND THEM). Especially true in the LIBERAL cities of Austin/ Round Rock TX. 🙏🇺🇸
You can only imagine if the shoe was on the other foot. The citizen would have been charged with a bunch of gun realated charges not to mention road rage and lying to a police officer for what really happened.
@Empty0Set: oooooh. omg, he BRANDISHED his weapon. whooooaaa!! call the effing newspaper, the national guard, and the pope. An officer brandished his weapon at an a**hole who flashed him the bird and refused to pull over when the lights flashed. Eventho EVERYf*cking body knows that there are unmarked police vehicles all over the damn country. "oh no. help. there's someone trying to pull me over. I'm so innocent and don't know what's going on. He's equipped his vehicle with police lights and siren. I don't know if he is an officer or not. he's not in a police car." 'the f*ck outta here. smh Oh he didn't shoot or anything or even touch the a**hole but whoa, right? how dare he brandish his weapon. pffft! If a lot of these cops would just "brandish" their weapons, there would be a lot more people alive today. give me a break. The insanity of these racist killer cops makes this a non-story without question.

@@CaesarCassius There is 0 evidence in this video to support any of that. If he'd committed ANYTHING that could have justified that illegal traffic stop - abuse of power, and excessive force - then you can bet that the local cops would've written him a ticket.
I didnt' see this when it was fresh. But that ranger put his gun in the face of a man who had not broken the law, and posed NO threat to him. That threat of deadly force is against the law. Not only that, but it is hard to come up with any other explanation other than retaliation for a Constitutionally protected expression by the driver. Both of those require more than just a stern talking-to.

He should've gotten his walking papers, at least a 30 day unpaid leave. Seriously, road rage, reckless driving, brandishing a firearm, failure to identify. You or I would be heavily ticketed/ sitting in jail. Ridiculous.
I don’t even know how he became a ranger because technically they can’t pull people over if their in a unmarked vehicle and isn’t in uniform unless it’s a very serious situation
@@Jake-hp8mg Pretty much goes for all LEOs, because unmarked car and no uniform? Anyone can claim to be a cop. Especially now with anyone being able to buy badges and car equipment to make them look legit. A lot of departments have instituted policies (some states it's in the laws) about must be in uniform or in a marked vehicle and provide identification to prove their status.
Aaah, the old "I felt like my life was in danger" trick, the oldest and most overused excuse by cops for yanking out the hawgs leg so as to be able to start blasting away if things don't go their way. And the cop lied?!!! Say it ain't so!!! "Corrective action?" What's that, a stern "don't do that" and life goes on?
● The 911 tape told the entire story... The bully-Cop was yelling & screaming, and was outta control & clearly heard through the motorists cellphone.. ● Drew his service weapon on that motorists while driving a un-marked vehicle, Then when he was questioned he appeared to be nice, cool, and comfortable with his answers... ● This pot-bellied Cop was Lying, all the way down the line w/o Shame...... The officer should be Sued by the Motorist Lawyers, fined, fired, and then Jailed... ● I'd like to add, the Rotten Ranger better be glad the Motorist wasn't Armed too!!! ● Most people with a teaspoon of common sense will not get out and run up to another vehicle in an aggressive manner...
Cant fire him, can't jail him. The "Brotherhood" would never allow that ! And I can almost guarantee he was not fined nor suspended. Worst thing that ever happened with law enforcement was the allowance of unions

Regardless of the situation, the ranger doesn't have the right to pull a guy over, get out of his truck, show a weapon, and demand that the other guy gets out of his car. Recklessness, abuse of power, lying, the full nine yards. Need to have more separate panels of review for this kind of stuff. A non-biased panel that reviews just the facts and the way I see it, (& probably the law as well) waving the middle finger doesn't justify this response or any close to it.

I go to jail for killing a crazy cop who charged me like a crack-induced criminal? Ridiculous.
''not even that, they would've said if that was the case, "corrective actions" means someone scolded him at the office and thats it'' Superior Officer : Dude what the fuck, we've told you before !, when you are in a power trip before you drawn the gun, make sure the guy is incommunicated and has no camera !

I have been chased by a personal truck in plain clothes in Blount County, TN. It happened years ago a cop had road rage because I passed him when he was going super slow in a lane that ended further up the road. He chased me without lights or anything in his personal vehicles and called his on duty buddies to pull me over. I was speeding after he started chasing me, I was on my way to a place I could have people to help me in seconds. Next thing I know I am surrounded by 10 cruisers and they couldn’t even give me a ticket.
And I bet you realize how easily with these kind of clowns you could have been dead.

He's not fired because he's black and the citizen's white. If he was white he might be fired. If he was white and the citizen black he would be fired and facing felony charges.
Because the police aren't going to police the police to the same extent the rest of us are policed. That's called being crooked.

They're giving him a chance to retroactively justify what he did by blaming the other guy, rather than questioning him about why he pulled a weapon and pointed it at an innocent person.
He should cite him for reckless driving. The driver admits how he was driving and it was dangerous. Cop did nothing wrong

All I caught was the State of Texas saying that he acted out of policy and was disciplined for his actions...
I bet he got that two weeks of paid administration time off IE. Vacation
Probably a letter of displinary action, several days unpaid leave. Collect more than a couple over 10 years, you're gone...
The Texas Ranger lied about when he pulled his gun and that the was hit by the other driver. I think he should suspend for 6 months without pay for lying. We must be able to trust officers of the law to tell the truth.
Suspended??? Lying to police is a crime and so is pointing a firearm at someone. He should be fired and charged for his crimes.
Agree. It should be the same.
this is very similar to what happened to me and my friend. the of duty officer actually followed us back to our place and didn't back of until I started explaining that I had no idea he was an officer and how he was acting was very aggressive and irregular
Do you really want a person like this holding a job of this responsibility and carrying a gun out on the streets?
Wtf , There are thousands like this in the system specially the white supremacy white boys in law enforcement

Sounds like the reckless driver a-hole instigated the entire event. It only escalated b-c of the rudeness of the 1st driver.
As an experienced older (professional) driver, I've seen the hatred for others. The disrespect of life on highways (how people drive, threatening others ALL AROUND THEM). Especially true in the LIBERAL cities of Austin/ Round Rock TX. 🙏🇺🇸
You can only imagine if the shoe was on the other foot. The citizen would have been charged with a bunch of gun realated charges not to mention road rage and lying to a police officer for what really happened.
Empty0Set true
@Empty0Set: oooooh. omg, he BRANDISHED his weapon. whooooaaa!! call the effing newspaper, the national guard, and the pope. An officer brandished his weapon at an a**hole who flashed him the bird and refused to pull over when the lights flashed. Eventho EVERYf*cking body knows that there are unmarked police vehicles all over the damn country. "oh no. help. there's someone trying to pull me over. I'm so innocent and don't know what's going on. He's equipped his vehicle with police lights and siren. I don't know if he is an officer or not. he's not in a police car." 'the f*ck outta here. smh Oh he didn't shoot or anything or even touch the a**hole but whoa, right? how dare he brandish his weapon. pffft! If a lot of these cops would just "brandish" their weapons, there would be a lot more people alive today. give me a break. The insanity of these racist killer cops makes this a non-story without question. And the fact that you spend so much time arguing this minor situation says a lot about yours and a lot of other mf's character on here.

I didnt' see this when it was fresh. But that ranger put his gun in the face of a man who had not broken the law, and posed NO threat to him. That threat of deadly force is against the law. Not only that, but it is hard to come up with any other explanation other than retaliation for a Constitutionally protected expression by the driver. Both of those require more than just a stern talking-to.
That "Texas Ranger" needs to be fired. How terrifying for the driver.
"the department has taken corrective action."
