The exact same thing that would happen to the regular Joe blow. Including man handling. Do you think the cops would drive your wife home? Plus he needs to be removed as mayor. Political officials need to understand that no one is above the law.
I went back and watched an interview where he was claiming he's not any better than anyone else, blah blah blah. He ONLY accepted responsibility because he was forced to. He was genuinely shocked that they were going to arrest him. Not only that, but he was forced to admit what he did, and he DID try to cover it up. He refused to allow the city to release the body cam video to the media until he had no choice there, either. He was only humble because he was forced into it by the officers doing their jobs. His orders didn't work on them and when he was apologizing to the media, he apologized to his family, his staff, and the voters. HE FORGOT TO APOLOGIZE TO THE OFFICERS from that night. Ordering them around like sled dogs, demanding names, intimidating them. He apologized to all the wrong people! Silly old POS.
The cops have a job to do and the fact they are talking about being fired is a pure disgrace and they should never feel they will be fired for doing their job the mayor should be charged with D.U.I. period and he should step down as mayor also period.
If he really cared about his Wife, Life and Career he would not have drank so much, worst become an Arrogant and Belligerent Fool!...What a Sad example of a Husband, Mayor and Human Being
It’s so infuriating that these officers…FOLLOWING THE LAW….are afraid they’re going to lose their jobs. If I did lose my job my next stop would be to a News station to let the voters know.
They gotta risk being shot or run over during a traffic stop. Most everybody lies to them. People openly show hate and disrespect for the badge. The public and media is trying to vilify all of them for a few bad apples and then they gotta deal with this kinda crap. This isn't unusual. What a great job huh?
Same as anyone else. Added (REAL) community service along side others for nasty and arrogant mouth to LEOs and public apologies. Some paid leave to LEOs and awards for doing their jobs. None will happen.
I laughed out loud every time he slurred the phrase "that's an order." Oh, and please add "my wife was telling me I drank too much" to the list of things not to share with a cop when they pull you over.
"I can't believe you put the cuffs on me" I can't believe you put me in the back of the car" "I won't forget this" "I'm the mayor of this city, you work for me" "Get my wife home, now" (x 3) What an obnoxious man!! So effing what if you're the mayor?? You were twice the legal limit. You want to be the mayor and enforce the rules, then you need to understand the rules!! If you had killed someone, your title of 'mayor' would mean jack-shit.
Blatant, "Rules for thee, but not for me" An obvious piece of sh1t. If he had ANY honor and self-respect, he would have resigned by the end of that week.
His mother-in-law seemed pretty down to earth and even-tempered and polite when she was getting settled into the backseat cage of the officers vehicle in order to be driven home. The officer had been apologizing that it wasn’t going to be comfortable and implying it could feel a little jarring for her to be there versus a regular seat like up front. But when she was getting in, she was like, “Oh I’m just happy to be going home,” and “well it’s not supposed to be cushy, is it?” and stuff like that. I’m only 10 minutes into the video but I thought that seemed awfully non-elitist and gracious.
I live in the next town over and the city tried to cover it up and fought over giving arrest footage. His wife just got diagnosed with cancer but it’s absolutely inexcusable what he did. This isn’t even his first DUI 🤦🏻♀️
he didnt care that he was driving his sick wife around while double the limit. if he'd crashed and killed her, he would still be moaning about the handcuffs.
The minute he started complaining about round a bouts, i knew this was indiana! I thought it wasCarmel specifically. I live in Indiana and Carmel has more round a bouts than all the US combined. It's horrible driving there!
That is not true. Public officials, public workers,, public officers, are all above the law. Each, and every one gets special treatment, each and every time. Even though, maybe 5% actually get in trouble, they are still treated very differently than the average citizen.
I’ve seen too many of these videos to know they are all above the law. Even if they get charged, their sentences aren’t close to what a regular citizen would receive. Our system is 100% corrupt.

His "chivalry" is nonsense and embarrassing.
@@ifellicantgetup Right? She's late on her cancer treatment. He took his wife to go drinking, even if it's a fundraiser. And then he decided to put that wife in danger.

I used to get so drunk I had to call a cab with two drivers so the other one would take my car home. And that service was just like 15 bucks extra...

Mayor: “You all work for ME!” 🖕🏼 This is the epitome of how broken our system is. The Mayor assumed he would get a “nudge nudge” and a ride home and the officers were questioning their procedures and worried about their jobs?? Absolute BS! The only thing that kept this honest was the cameras.

This whole situation is ridiculous. Why do they need to wait for a sargent to begin with? If he's drunk, he's drunk. What's the question here? The way that they're pampering the wife....I think everyone deserves to be treated with as much respect as possible but that's not how they treat the public. It's disgusting. The mayor is joking about how drunk he is because he doesn't expect any consequences for his actions. He would only behave that way if there were precedent for it.
That’s EXACTLY what’s wrong with our country. That mayor thought those cops worked for him. If you asked them who they worked for, they would say the city or county. And, they, not him, would be right!
I love how he kept trying to throw his weight around, commanding orders, saying what’s not going to happen, asking for higher ups. None of his demands were working. Good job, officers!
It’s unbelievable how everyone is tiptoeing around this. Just because he’s the Mayor doesn’t mean he gets special treatment. He’s drinking and driving. Get on with it and arrest him
LOL no shit. I wouldn't give a rat's ass. I've never shied from calling the higher ups on their BS. I even got into it with the president of a medium sized business. He says to me "you're 1 minute away from being fired" I said "do what you gotta do but I'm NOT letting you send a guy up 40 feet in the air standing on a pallet lifted by a forklift! I never had a problem standing up to idiots, no matter what their position. I took the keys out of the forklift so the warehouse guys wouldn't be forced into doing it. GIVE THEM BACK! Nope lol....His face was 50 shades of red lol.
He’s their boss basically. Of course they tiptoe around it because they are worried about their careers, but they all did a fine job, even if we all understand that none of us would have gotten this same type of treatment. As long as they do the job properly, I don’t think you can’t be too upset. If anything it would be nice if they were this polite on every call where they aren’t in any danger.
He got a suspended sentence. Pathetic. What signal does that send out? If he's treated differently because of his position, it should be that he's even more culpable than the average citizen as he's someone who should be a role model to them
This is the mayor of my hometown(I recently moved) He’s got people so far up his ass, they believe he’s innocent and such a great man. I’ve literally seen people defend him against THIS. I don’t understand how he’s been mayor for so long.. oh wait… money.
That’s infuriating. He was twice the legal limit. There’s no defending that. There’s also no defending the way he treated those officers. Typical entitled political figure. I hope the voters smarten up and get his ass out of office.
Years ago I went to a Christmas party. Someone was running a video through out the evening. I was so embarrassed how my behavior changed when I was drinking. I wasn't even drunk- just a little buzzed. I never drank alcohol in public again. In fact- I pretty don't drink at all anymore. Watching yourself can be an eye opener for sure!
I agree 100% and if they did start to show these tapes in court the judge would give proper out comes .if u do the crime then u do the time Mayor or pope
The most disturbing thing is that this "gentleman" is being treated as if he were royalty. Any other person of the same age had long been on their way to prison, handcuffed on their backs. The final punishment will not surprise anyone. Tap on the fingers and move on with life. Disgusting!!!
He thought they would follow his orders and be intimidated by him. It's so cute how he thinks that as Mayor, a temporary elected position, he can order cops around. Bizarre.
Why are they validating his self entitled arrogance by giving him special treatment. If he's a Mayor, then he should be held to a higher standard, not lesser one. His actions should make him no longer Mayor, and never be allowed into public office again.
I hate that these officers are worried for their jobs because of the bad decisions made by an old man on a power trip. That old man should be ashamed of himself for the way he behaved. It was so important to him to get his wife home, but it wasn’t important enough to stop him from putting her life in danger by driving drunk. He needs to sort out his priorities.
Would have been fun attending city meetings to read off or play some of the best quotes from him during the public comments portion. You could def get a lot of the good stuff shortened down to four minutes to share with everyone.
It was massively shared all over social media and so many of his friends defended him saying he’s a good man. Saying it was taken out of context. He’s a hypocrite who is rich, all in all. 🤷🏻♀️ And if I’m not mistaken, this is like his third DUI. So he hasn’t learned. And he never will.
If any of them officers see this... Please know: You should never feel your job is in fear for doing it graceful and professional job and doing what you do! Thank you for all your service and here is a virtual hug
Clearly, the irony was lost on this man of being concerned about his wife and her treatment and yet he’s the one who could’ve ended her life with his drunk driving
It's ridiculous he was given ANY special care. He could of killed someone. If he was so concerned about his wife he would of had a sober driver. Plain & simple he is a drunk driver & he should be ashamed!!
"I won't forget this!" Yeah, dude but if any of these officers get fired from this, this footage will go out to the public and your voters. I mean, look at thier faces as they're putting him in the jail cell, they're terrified of losing their jobs.
He's a Democrat, they act and believe they are above everyone and above the law. This is like the fourth Democrat politician I've seen getting a DUI in the past year, and they all tried using their "power" to intimidate the officers. I personally think they should lose their job if they act like that.
@calvinh.8882 But yet we have the morals and values party in Washington showing their morals and values every day. 🤪 Never mind across this country. Let's not forget about Santos.
Yup doesn't matter the party, I've seen both do same crap. Power corrupts corrupt individuals and they need power removed or will always have corruption.
@@Cyber_Freedom Yeah, It seems Santos is trying hard to catch up with Biden, but I don't think he has lied enough to do that yet. As for morals and values? the party running Washington doesn't have a clue what those are. They run on whatever they think will get them voted back in, and right now they seem to think personal feelings and people's sex are the things to get behind, and I hate to inform the blind that is leading the blind, but you can't eat feelings or someone's sexual preference.
I wish just once the police would have the balls to treat EVERYONE the same... the amount of deference given to this drunk driver just because of his job was sickening.
That's easy to say when your job isn't the one on the line. They were doing what they were told to do by their boss and trying to keep their jobs at the same time.
He was arrested and charged, they're obviously going to be a bit cautious about arresting the mayor but they did. You can't ask for anything more from them really.
You have to remember that these cops were afraid of losing their jobs and even if they didn't he goes back to fully being their boss the second he is released. He has the ongoing power here and the cops know that. They don't want to get fired or have him make the reset of their career a nightmare.
Awe- I am quite sure he wouldn't want those dirty details to get out how HORRIBLE he is and he thinks he's above the law!! Your doing voters a FAVOR!!! THANK YOU!
A regular Moe wouldn't get all this "shenanigans" because drunk is drunk. We vote them in and keep them in..... Where is the blanketed law in this country where if you are found guilty of DUI as a political figure in any sector of government you clean out your desk..... Oh that's right, they write the laws.......
He is sooo worried about his wife's health, but was driving her home at almost double the legal limit. SMH Everything about his choices, and his consequences... WRONG!!
Even without the body cam this one would have been a bit difficult to wiggle out of. The video doesn't make it perfectly clear that this started with a pretty serious accident. Luckily no one was really hurt but there was a good amount of damage to both cars. I believe the driver of the other vehicle was already aware of who was driving (the mayor) before the police arrived.
Suspended sentence and pay a fine and a dismissal???? No suspension of his license? Perfect example of a two tier Legal System. One for those in power and one for the Surfs.
I would be perfectly okay if they lowered it to 0.03. That's to say, I think a sip means you shouldn't drive until that sip is out of your system. The only reason I say keep it at 0.03 is to prevent false positives and the fact that you can reach 0.01 by consuming things you may not even realize contain alcohol (like some cold medicine)
This is exactly why I could never be a cop. My mouth is too reckless, these cops be too damn nice to people. Being professional and catering to people are not the same thing.
Yea- I don't think I could control myself from saying something to this DISGUSTING BLOATED DRUNK!! I'd probably hit him with a cattle prod and roll him out while my car was moving!!
I’d be treating him the same way he treated me. Who the F does he think he is?! Threatening the officers and their jobs. “I can’t believe you put me in handcuffs in the back of this car. In MY city.”
You can see at which point he stopped trying to play the nice card and pulled the "I'm bigger than you" card. I think if officials made mistakes like this and they own up to their actions and face the consequences it shows they're human like the rest of us and big enough to show it instead of being a baby and hiding behind their status. His behavior reminds me of how my grandpa was acting when he got dementia, just confused and bounced between friendly and angry
For him to be bossing these cops around and yelling about his wife. He created this entire situation “you all work for me“ he should be fired tomorrow morning.
Oh yes they are and he is in this video. Look at how they are treating him.... With videos just like this can you really blame others who feel that they are being treated unfairly that they don't have a leg to stand on???? A joke pure and simple.
They way this guy handles 1.5 BAC you know he is drunk at his job all the time and probably often drove around over the legal limit often. To be able to facially appear fine being that drunk is not something that just happens, he may have not always been this way but he is now a textbook definition of an extreme alcoholic.
Here he is giving orders before going into the cell. Obviously, he wasn’t too worried about injuring his wife, mother-in-law, and other law abiding citizens with his car by getting into an accident, but he’s worried about her getting home.
So I guess the moral of the story is if you are the major you get a pass on endangering literally everyone that was on the road while he was driving drunk…I thought the people who elected the mayor had the power so why are we treating him so special when he can literally be voted out the office the next day smh
This is so sad that the officers have to worry about losing their job over that man’s choice to drive drunk! I’m sure there were MANY people at the fundraiser that would’ve given them a ride home. He’s blaming the officers as if they made him drink & drive
Painful situation for those officers that not only felt they had to act in a very obedient manner towards the major, even though they had an obligation to arrest him, but also thought they had to fear for (losing) their jobs cause the arrestee effectively was their boss! I am curious as to what legal protection officers actually do or do not have for their job security in cases like this...
Boy they handled the mayor with kid gloves! Anyone else would have been treated differently. SUCH DOUBLE STANDARDS FOR THE HIGH AND INFLUENTIAL! The police didn't even place him a seat belt. Shameful!
So concerned about his wife’s medical issues now that he’s been arrested, but didn’t cross his mind when he was in the process of getting drunk…fully aware that HE was the one who would have to drive her & her mother home. Standing in front of a jail cell ordering officers around like he’s king! “That’s an order!!!” 🙄GTFOH.
The fact that he installed fear into the officers to fear for their own job security shows how much he as an elected official should not be one. Truly disgusting and he should be ASHAMED of himself. No one is above the law.

He’s got people so far up his ass, they believe he’s innocent and such a great man. I’ve literally seen people defend him against THIS. I don’t understand how he’s been mayor for so long.. oh wait… money.
That’s infuriating. He was twice the legal limit. There’s no defending that. There’s also no defending the way he treated those officers. Typical entitled political figure. I hope the voters smarten up and get his ass out of office.
Because he has a “D” in front of his name he’s above the law!
Years ago I went to a Christmas party. Someone was running a video through out the evening. I was so embarrassed how my behavior changed when I was drinking. I wasn't even drunk- just a little buzzed.
I never drank alcohol in public again. In fact- I pretty don't drink at all anymore.
Watching yourself can be an eye opener for sure!
I agree 100% and if they did start to show these tapes in court the judge would give proper out comes .if u do the crime then u do the time Mayor or pope
The Law is the law, and no one should be above the law not even the mayor. Well done..
@Don't Shoot the cops did a good job
The most disturbing thing is that this "gentleman" is being treated as if he were royalty. Any other person of the same age had long been on their way to prison, handcuffed on their backs. The final punishment will not surprise anyone. Tap on the fingers and move on with life. Disgusting!!!
The Mayor of the city should set an example.... I cant believe he put so many lives at risk
Especially his precious wife's life, eh.
Odd how these lawmakers pass laws that they think they don't have to follow.
Cops should have said, "We don't take orders from drunk people." He knew he blew twice the legal limit, what did he think they would do?
That would have been en epic retort. Lol🤣
Agreed 100%
He thought they would follow his orders and be intimidated by him. It's so cute how he thinks that as Mayor, a temporary elected position, he can order cops around. Bizarre.
Well at first he thought he blew a 4.0! 😂🤣
Thank god for body cams in this day and age!
Why are they validating his self entitled arrogance by giving him special treatment. If he's a Mayor, then he should be held to a higher standard, not lesser one.
His actions should make him no longer Mayor, and never be allowed into public office again.
Not going to happen, he’s a Democrat.
It's up to the voters.
I hate that these officers are worried for their jobs because of the bad decisions made by an old man on a power trip. That old man should be ashamed of himself for the way he behaved. It was so important to him to get his wife home, but it wasn’t important enough to stop him from putting her life in danger by driving drunk. He needs to sort out his priorities.
I really hope that this was posted in the local newspaper and on all local tv stations
Would have been fun attending city meetings to read off or play some of the best quotes from him during the public comments portion. You could def get a lot of the good stuff shortened down to four minutes to share with everyone.
It wasn’t.
It was massively shared all over social media and so many of his friends defended him saying he’s a good man. Saying it was taken out of context. He’s a hypocrite who is rich, all in all. 🤷🏻♀️
And if I’m not mistaken, this is like his third DUI. So he hasn’t learned. And he never will.
Doesn’t matter I’m sure it got around
I’M SURRRRE IT WAS
The look of shock when entitled people are actually being held even a little bit accountable is priceless.
He should be treated just like anyone else in this position
That's not the reality.
He was. He was *cuffed and arrested* just like any other drunk.
If any of them officers see this... Please know: You should never feel your job is in fear for doing it graceful and professional job and doing what you do! Thank you for all your service and here is a virtual hug
He is so worried about his wife , he should NOT have been driving DRUNK
Yeah that’s ridiculous! He’s so worried about his wife yet had no problems driving drunk with her!
Clearly, the irony was lost on this man of being concerned about his wife and her treatment and yet he’s the one who could’ve ended her life with his drunk driving
It's ridiculous he was given ANY special care. He could of killed someone. If he was so concerned about his wife he would of had a sober driver. Plain & simple he is a drunk driver & he should be ashamed!!
1:13 - "She said, 'You been drinking too much!'" LOL
Big fat mouth can't shut up... lmfao
"I won't forget this!" Yeah, dude but if any of these officers get fired from this, this footage will go out to the public and your voters. I mean, look at thier faces as they're putting him in the jail cell, they're terrified of losing their jobs.
He did it to his self. He shouldn't be mayor no more 😂😂
When he got all bossy I would have told him “you’re not in control of this situation bubba”
He needs rehab, AA , probation and all that. He has to be humbled. It's up to the voters if he is worthy when time comes.
Any person in a position of power who threatens a police officers job should be automatically charged with blackmail, extortion and obstruction
It blew his mind when they cuffed him 😂
But the fact that they thought they were getting fired, and STILL did it, is super commendable.
These entitled people are just incredible...they really do think they are better than us...
He's a Democrat, they act and believe they are above everyone and above the law. This is like the fourth Democrat politician I've seen getting a DUI in the past year, and they all tried using their "power" to intimidate the officers. I personally think they should lose their job if they act like that.
@calvinh.8882 But yet we have the morals and values party in Washington showing their morals and values every day. 🤪 Never mind across this country. Let's not forget about Santos.
Yup doesn't matter the party, I've seen both do same crap. Power corrupts corrupt individuals and they need power removed or will always have corruption.
@@Cyber_Freedom Yeah, It seems Santos is trying hard to catch up with Biden, but I don't think he has lied enough to do that yet. As for morals and values? the party running Washington doesn't have a clue what those are. They run on whatever they think will get them voted back in, and right now they seem to think personal feelings and people's sex are the things to get behind, and I hate to inform the blind that is leading the blind, but you can't eat feelings or someone's sexual preference.
i agree these cops suck
I wish just once the police would have the balls to treat EVERYONE the same... the amount of deference given to this drunk driver just because of his job was sickening.
That's easy to say when your job isn't the one on the line. They were doing what they were told to do by their boss and trying to keep their jobs at the same time.
He was arrested and charged, they're obviously going to be a bit cautious about arresting the mayor but they did.
You can't ask for anything more from them really.
You have to remember that these cops were afraid of losing their jobs and even if they didn't he goes back to fully being their boss the second he is released. He has the ongoing power here and the cops know that. They don't want to get fired or have him make the reset of their career a nightmare.
Stop making excuses. If you’re gonna be a pussy. Don’t become a cop. Follow the law.
Awe- I am quite sure he wouldn't want those dirty details to get out how HORRIBLE he is and he thinks he's above the law!! Your doing voters a FAVOR!!! THANK YOU!
A regular Moe wouldn't get all this "shenanigans" because drunk is drunk. We vote them in and keep them in..... Where is the blanketed law in this country where if you are found guilty of DUI as a political figure in any sector of government you clean out your desk..... Oh that's right, they write the laws.......
He is sooo worried about his wife's health, but was driving her home at almost double the legal limit. SMH
Everything about his choices, and his consequences... WRONG!!
Isn’t it great that us taxpayers get to _pay_ these people who then make themselves above the laws?
He and his wife are GROSS.
He should never be allowed to be a public servant ever again.
A fine example of the entitlement of city officials.
Its sick how they have to fear they jobs over doing they OWN !
He cared so much for his wife's well being that he was driving her home drunk...
Be thankful for the body cams. Prior to them being worn this guy is driven home. And one of the officers is delivering his vehicle. All forgotten.
Even without the body cam this one would have been a bit difficult to wiggle out of. The video doesn't make it perfectly clear that this started with a pretty serious accident. Luckily no one was really hurt but there was a good amount of damage to both cars. I believe the driver of the other vehicle was already aware of who was driving (the mayor) before the police arrived.
Suspended sentence and pay a fine and a dismissal???? No suspension of his license? Perfect example of a two tier Legal System. One for those in power and one for the Surfs.
In Sweden the BAC limit is 0.01…. in reality that means - NOT EVEN A SIP!!
I would be perfectly okay if they lowered it to 0.03. That's to say, I think a sip means you shouldn't drive until that sip is out of your system. The only reason I say keep it at 0.03 is to prevent false positives and the fact that you can reach 0.01 by consuming things you may not even realize contain alcohol (like some cold medicine)
What I wouldn't give to be a county jail officer and just say, "you have no power here mr. mayor."
What suck is ~ They just set a precedent for other drunks to be able to fight the charges.
What a shining example!
"I cant believe you handcuffed the Mayor" I cant believe the Mayor is Driving Drunk, and thinks he deserves special treatment
"I just can't believe I can't break the law with impunity!" These people. I hope he gets voted out.
He could bully the judge but he couldn’t bully those officers!
Any info on what happens to the officers in that video? I hope they didn’t get fired from this
8:04 "No, no, I'm looking at your name." Right there -- intimidation.
This is exactly why I could never be a cop. My mouth is too reckless, these cops be too damn nice to people. Being professional and catering to people are not the same thing.
Absolutely agree
Yea- I don't think I could control myself from saying something to this DISGUSTING BLOATED DRUNK!!
I'd probably hit him with a cattle prod and roll him out while my car was moving!!
@@Blacksheep-Ba-Ba sounds like an idea worth thinking about
@@patriciaevans5906 trust me I think about it a lot
I’d be treating him the same way he treated me. Who the F does he think he is?! Threatening the officers and their jobs. “I can’t believe you put me in handcuffs in the back of this car. In MY city.”
You can see at which point he stopped trying to play the nice card and pulled the "I'm bigger than you" card. I think if officials made mistakes like this and they own up to their actions and face the consequences it shows they're human like the rest of us and big enough to show it instead of being a baby and hiding behind their status. His behavior reminds me of how my grandpa was acting when he got dementia, just confused and bounced between friendly and angry
For him to be bossing these cops around and yelling about his wife. He created this entire situation “you all work for me“ he should be fired tomorrow morning.
I hate the way he gets better treatment than I'd get.
Unbelievable,they're even considerating treating him different.
This is a prime example of the people who are arrested who I call 'people who don't know who they are' They always say: Do you know who I am? LOL
No one is above the law!!
Oh yes they are and he is in this video. Look at how they are treating him.... With videos just like this can you really blame others who feel that they are being treated unfairly that they don't have a leg to stand on???? A joke pure and simple.
@@johnweaver1198 you are so rite especially with the hand cuffs and how he was talking to them.
In theory, no one is above the law. Then there’s people like this fine example.
They way this guy handles 1.5 BAC you know he is drunk at his job all the time and probably often drove around over the legal limit often. To be able to facially appear fine being that drunk is not something that just happens, he may have not always been this way but he is now a textbook definition of an extreme alcoholic.
I love how detailed you are in your description box with explaining the interactions within the uploaded video. ✌
Thank you for the feedback!
You know a proper seasoned drinker can act so sober that only the smell and breathalyser would tell you they’re way over the limit.
Here he is giving orders before going into the cell. Obviously, he wasn’t too worried about injuring his wife, mother-in-law, and other law abiding citizens with his car by getting into an accident, but he’s worried about her getting home.
Oh clutch the pearls! A high ranking official abusing his/her power. That anyone over 10 years old is suprised and offended by this is adorable.
I'm just jealous of the fine service he got being a 3rd class taxpayer
So I guess the moral of the story is if you are the major you get a pass on endangering literally everyone that was on the road while he was driving drunk…I thought the people who elected the mayor had the power so why are we treating him so special when he can literally be voted out the office the next day smh
It’s a shame the mayor is blaming the Officers when he is the drunk driver!
Mad respect to these officers!
Absolutely DISGUSTING behavior from the mayor. Just WOW. Unreal.
It's ridiculous that these cops thought they could get fired. The subsequent lawsuit would be open and shut.
I'm surprised they didn't shout and yell and pull their guns out when he had his hands in his pockets....!
How the hell do these “politicians” get away with this kind of shit???
He should’ve been kicked out of office…🤨
Up to the voters
Amazing how a mayor can be like this. Corruption right here.
This is so sad that the officers have to worry about losing their job over that man’s choice to drive drunk! I’m sure there were MANY people at the fundraiser that would’ve given them a ride home. He’s blaming the officers as if they made him drink & drive
Yeah I would hate traffic circles too.. especially when you’re drunk!
I feel bad for these cops who already know what a crap show this is and the ones who help him if they did need to be fired.
Sadly, every one of those officers were right to fear losing their jobs. It's happened before.
Painful situation for those officers that not only felt they had to act in a very obedient manner towards the major, even though they had an obligation to arrest him, but also thought they had to fear for (losing) their jobs cause the arrestee effectively was their boss! I am curious as to what legal protection officers actually do or do not have for their job security in cases like this...
" at the end of the day i gotta do my job".....awesome sir...thankyou for your service
They police have such a RESPECTFUL and CALM demeanour with CERTAIN people. 🤔
Body cams give us a chance for safety as well as fairness.
He blew almost twice the legal limit, damaged another vehicle and is surprised to be arrested. Something wrong with our society?
Always ABOVE the Law.........
Boy they handled the mayor with kid gloves! Anyone else would have been treated differently. SUCH DOUBLE STANDARDS FOR THE HIGH AND INFLUENTIAL! The police didn't even place him a seat belt. Shameful!
I love it when the entitled get knocked down a peg or two. 🤗
So concerned about his wife’s medical issues now that he’s been arrested, but didn’t cross his mind when he was in the process of getting drunk…fully aware that HE was the one who would have to drive her & her mother home. Standing in front of a jail cell ordering officers around like he’s king!
“That’s an order!!!” 🙄GTFOH.
He is an embarrassment to him self and his wife.his conduct is despicable and disgusting.
The fact that he installed fear into the officers to fear for their own job security shows how much he as an elected official should not be one. Truly disgusting and he should be ASHAMED of himself. No one is above the law.
Its pathetic that people like this man consider they should be treated differently to other drunks.
