#KFOR #OklahomaCity #DUI
We appreciate that officer’s professionalism in that situation. Well done.
This Capt. is going to claim he has a problem. go to rehab and be able to retire. with full retirement pay.
Good job officer!! Captain better lose his pension!!
Privilege think he is above the law.
Kudos to the Officer. But he’ll probably never get promoted now.
I think the arresting officer and maybe others in the force must have had it in for this captain or he wouldn’t have been arrested and destroyed in the media like this. There’s still a buddy system in the force. He could have been arrested, but allowed to keep his dignity. The arresting officer seemed really hyped up about arresting this captain. I feel bad for him, really. I hope, if he has a drinking problem that he gets help. But, I bet that arresting officer isn’t beloved by his peers right now. There was a better way to handle it, unless, as I say, they have been looking for a way to get rid of him for reasons that were truly justified.
You know that cop who arrested that captain will be getting fired in a few months and that captain will never get in trouble he won’t spend one day in jail
That rat cop should never through the captain under the bus!
Commendable work by the officer 👏💯🏆. ( Don’t retaliate against him for doing his job) Excellent work, “I’m a captain,” P.O., “I don’t care.” 😂
I worry about retaliation from the Captain’s friends & coworkers. I hope Chief Worley keeps that from happening. The young Officer did the correct thing in pulling over the Captain & arresting him.
….this looks like a Steve Martin and Woody Allen comedy movie. don’t know whether to laugh or shake my head.
Well kiss my chitlins!
Oh so nancy pelosis old man we can’t see his footage but they wanna rake this old guy through the mud ,I guess he should of married a politician
This is what a good officer does!
FAH KEN TYRANT!!! The Captain would not be turning his camera off you anyway else but he’s asking this officer to turn off his! THIS SHOULD BE A TERMINATION OFFENSE, NOT FOT THE DUI BUT BECAUSE HE’S ATTEMPTING TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE!!!
Captain should of told the officer his dad was the Governor of #Oklahoma. 🇺🇸
Yes Black #America 🇺🇸 this is REAL! Justice ⚖ will be served and you/WE all saw it with our own eyes!! It’s a start #America ☺ 🇺🇸
Give this cop a raise
Sweet
Oklahoma up. Best state in America
Very, very professional. Give that Police officer a medal and promotion. 👏🏼
Good on that police officer! Give him a medal for doing the right thing. That drunk captain could have killed someone.
Gravy is what looks to be a mohawk on that arresting officer, F-yeah!
Alcohol Drinkers, may they stay away from me as long as I live.
That’s a nasty slur, that was more than ‘a few beers’
Police brotherhood is dead !! What a F- ing snitch !! SNITCH !!!
At least he didn’t demand a supervisor or whatever else. He pretty much owned up. Pretty embarrassed.
YAY AN HONEST COP DOING HIS JOB
THIS is the kind of officers we need on the streets
Can That officer be reassigned to Washington DC?
In the era before cameras, I’d lay money on the table the cop would have let his fellow gang buddy simply go into his house with a pat on the back.
LOL.
Sadly the arresting officer was relieved of duty for not being corrupt enough.
The USUAL suspects always think they’re above the law! Filthy demons
Don’t worry everyone! The captain will probably get a 6-month paid vacation!
This cop 👮♀️ is a rat eventually he will get the same treatment!
Wooow! I just realize that 99% of the people hate the police!
This cop from now on other cops will be watching him.this cop can’t be trusted by his friends cop!
And that’s how it’s supposed to be! That man deserves a medal! 8 to 80 gang banger to President doesn’t matter No one is above the law.
You can definitely use this as a training video PR video! It wasn’t like he was kind of drunk. This man was beyond drunk and could’ve killed someone! We asked for it, but to see it! Amazing
🚔 Distinguished Dirt Bag
Was he riding with Paul Pelosi? 🤔
Like I’ve said before 99 %of cops are corrupt. There might be a 1% margin of error in my statement 😅
nice to see officers not dishonoring the badge “God Bless” that Officer.
Lol!!! How embarrassing
Great job by the officer.
The rot starts at the top.
Why do cops even have an option to turn off the camera at all?
It won’t end the way you think.
Good on cop.
WELL DONE OFFICERS!!!! The type of officer we would like to see in charge there’s a law book and damnit it applies to everyone under the American flag. God Bless America!
He’ll get early retirement and a full pension
Kudos to that officer for upholding the law, honoring his oath, and doing the right thing. Secondarily, how dumb is that captain? Bad enough he was driving drunk but then he talks to the cops on video. NEVER talk to the police.
Looked like Chevy Chase in the thumbnail
Give him a raise
One honest Sergeant and one corrupted Captain.
Whoopdy do.
ONE officer doesn’t fold to another. Problem is, how many still do.
If this was in my home country India 🇮🇳 officer would have been charged for arresting his senior officer for DUI 😂
We need more police officers like this one! Mad respect! NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!
Geeze, why not just give this guy a ride home? I’d use influence if I could. Happy St Pattys Day!
Ok, that is so good. Justice has served. What about Trump?
NEWS! I wish you would stop it. Stop making a fool outta this guy. Where are the good things he has done? I hate the news. I hate the way you go over and over stuff, showing humiliation. Showing people at the worst times. I have seen this over and over. Stop it.
An example of a good cop!
We need more officers like him bravo.
It’s sad that we need to applaud a police officer for doing his job but that’s the way things are nowadays.
Good job sir! We need more officers like this! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Where I live the camera would of been turned off unless they wanted him off the force
Send this to Donald, he can see no one is too high for the law.
Lock him up
He is a police officer that did NOTHING WRONG and was arrested for doing nothing wrong. 😊
The mentality of this guy thinking he should be treated any different. Needs to be booted from his position of authority and of a trusted servant.
How many times did he ask 😂?
Way to go Officer! “I don’t care if you’re a gang banger or the President of the United States” SALUTE to this Officer! 👍💯
Not only was he driving drunk, he was driving drunk on the taxpayers’ dime.
“A lot of things you can’t answer by viewing a video” smh
The video doesn’t lie. The “captain” was DRUNK and attempted to BRIBE the officer by asking him to “turn off the body cam”
What else do we/ YOU need to see? 2:01
BOOKEM….PIGS ARREST PIGS GOTTA LOVE IT
Very few people realize the if you speak real low the camera won’t record you asking an officer to turn it off.
Did the police man pull him over in his driveway? 👮♂️
He was already 🏠 home 🏡 let the captain make it ! 🚓🤟👑🏡🙌
😂😂😂😂😂
Oklahoma only make National news for the wrong reasons
way to stab a brother in the back by arresting the captain. no one is gonna respond to the call if he ever goes down, everyone will know he’s a blue falcon.
Now that’s a real police officer we need more like him …..💛💙💛💙💛💙💛
Whoa. That officer was seriously great.
Thanks for ridding the public of such vicious vile and dangerous criminal. You deserve a medal of honor, another for valor, hero! 😅 cheers! 🍻
He should have dropped him and tazed him just for food measure
Excellent police work. I wish we treated our politicians like this.
BRAVO Officer!!!!
He thinks he’s above the law. The police shouldn’t have access to the on and off control of their camera.
In Hudson Wisconsin you just call your Police Buddies to let you go. Now you see the world I’ve been living in?
“I’m a Captain” – [Translation] – “I’m not a regular citizen, please don’t treat me like a regular person.”
I predict the arresting officer doesn’t have a very bright future in law enforcement.
Republicans are the epitome of hypocrites
Every single solitary thing going on in the world is ALL by design it is all planned and pre planned for the New World Order one world government. The skull and bones secret society number is 322, we are in the year 2023 which backwards is 322, on March 22nd/322 humanity needs to keep an eye on big things to happen. This message isn’t for the sheep it’s for the ones who’s minds are open.
What an a****** try to pass
You should just admit it if you’re a man of Honor
No honor among -thieves- murderous thieves?
Take that BLM, good officers do exist.
I like how when it’s cops breaking the laws on camera it’s “theres things you can’t answer just by viewing the video” if it’s civilian it’s “clear cut on video and video doesn’t lie”. I bet he gets a unpaid leave for a week or allowed to retire.
Cheers to the Arresting Officer…. Don’t drink with the Captain 😂
The fact that everyone is praising the arresting office for doing what he took an oath to do is very telling.
He did a borg 😂
Captain on leave with pay, in other words no accountability.
Bat time❤
