It's typical of police, but he's more of a law enforcement politician than a cop. This exposes the root of the issue. When the brass act like ass, they all do.
Qualified Immunity continues to make them bold. That's why it doesn't matter that everything is caught on camera now. They know there are cameras everywhere and they still act like jerks anyway, because in the end they know that they really won't be punished. END QUALIFIED IMMUNITY NOW!!!!!
Most people would've been tazed or shot if they got out of their vehicle during a stop, approached an Officer and started reaching around behind their waist band. They don't know who this guy is from any other Joe off the street. He's lucky he didn't get shot acting like he's above the law. Hopefully he was prosecuted for this non sense or at a minimum fired due his obvious lack of Leadership ability and professionalism.
The reason they didn’t try to arrest him or draw their weapons is because they did know who he was. If you watch the full unedited bodycam you will hear the Chief and officers discussing an interaction that happened moments prior to him being pulled over for his window tint. That’s why he was so angry.
A population of less than 8k, I bet this guy gets all sorts of special treatment. Small towns in the U.S are absolutely corrupted. I doubt this Chief will get any repercussions
The Chief thinks he's above the law. He couldn't even be bothered to pull to the shoulder for officer safety. Get that man-child out of law enforcement.
I guess you missed what happened, he IS above the LAW! Drove away and retaliated against the other municipality. Now lets see what his municipality does about it. But he drove away like most cops do.
At 0:49 the Zubulon Chief is aggressively walking up on this cop with his right hand reaching behind him - looked like he was going to pull a weapon. That's a really dangerous way to walk up on a cop.
@@gabrielM1111 He was walking up on a cop while exposing a weapon and holding his shooting hand behind him. No matter what his ego thought he was doing, it was a dangerous way to approach a cop who doesn't know him from a whole in the wall.
This chief is a weenie. Police Offices you acted as you should. I hope this works out well for you. To try to punish citizens because he is angry about the stop shows what a pitiful cop he is. Police Officer is someone who deserves respect. cop is comptemptable.
look at how he walks up at 48 seconds. 1) how do I know you didn't equip your vehicle with lights. 2) look how he approached them pulling his jacket back showing a firearm. he's lucky they didn't shoot first and asked questions later. and 3) he was on a power trip, when things like this is brought to light it needs to be addressed by firing not a talk but replaced.
The chief totally escalated that interaction the second he jumped out of his car like that all he had to do was wait in his car explain he was a police officer and it's a police vehicle and that's that. But noooooo -John Belushi
The officer's police chief told them not to. They really wanted to write him a ticket. I know this because those officers are my son and daughter and they told me what happened before this story made the news.
So glad that, of course, it was recorded and is being shared online. Especially now knowing that he's retaliating? What a disrespectful jerk he is - the type that gives cops a bad name. He has no business in any position of authority and needs to be taken out of it.
how else did you expect him to behave? on what planet to people in power like to be treated like people without power and authority ? lets start living in the real world
No. He wasn't given a ticket because the officer's police chief told them not to. Otherwise they would. I know this because those officers are my son and daughter and they told me what happened before this story made the news.
any one else would have been put in handcuffs or worse! the thin blue line strikes again! a huge part of the disconnect.. of the hatred for so-called law enforcement stems from arrogant thugs like this being in charge!
OMG a cop who acted entitled. Shocking. He stops in the middle of the road. So he just reached a contract as retaliation. To the citizens of this town. Is this the leadership you want. He acting like a child. Is this the way he'd want citizens acting with his officers.
When people hold important title or position, they feel entitled to be above the law. Not having proper license plate displayed is one of them. If regular citizens can't have tints beyond certain percentage that it impairs authorities ability to see in your car or see who driver is then higher authorities should abide by same rule and not get upset if you get pulled over.
MAKES ME WONDER WHY HE HAS TOTAL BLACK OUT TINT. SOUNDS LIKE HE'S UP TO NO GOOD AND HIS OFFICERS FOR HIS COUNTY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SOUNDS LIKE A REALLY CORRUPT POLICE DEPARTMENT AND NEEDS A DEEP INVESTIGATION. THE D. A. AND ALL THE UPPITY UPS ARE PROBABLY IN ON WHAT IS GOING ON. DRUGS AND BLACK MARKET.
Lmao they’re showing their true cowardice. If this was me or you, we would be tazed, beaten, and hauled off to jail. “Thin Blue Line” is a corrupt organization and needs to be eradicated. We need real policing. Not this corrupt crap. The two officers are worse than the chief himself. They bowed down to him and licked his boots.
The local Zebulon commissioners need to look into this and find out why their Chief was not professional to the Police officers. Next why he has turned off the emergence channel to Molena Police Department and WHAT AURTHORITY. The Govenor has to be contacted regarding the Zebulon Chiefs actions ----Shut down The Emergency Police Channel for what REASON
They should have went hands-on and arrested him for obstruction, threatening display of a firearm etc like any common peasant would've been had they acted the way that PoS did. It's almost as if law enforcement operate under a completely different set of rules than those who apply to the common citizenry.
He had better be glad that chief didn’t act like that a NYC cops care, He would have been arrested and let him have it out with a judge. You don’t disrespect the police for doing their job, then complain about crime elsewhere.
The Chief’s behavior which is appalling reflects society as whole when people are asked to respond to someone in authority. Remember, the chief is a person first then a police chief.
I don't believe that if this was a regular citizen the stop would have gone the same. 1st they would have been yelling for them to get back in the car. 2nd they would have towed the car for non registered vehicle. 3rd they would have arrested them for resisting, obstruction, failure to ID or anything else they could.
This chief of police is a danger to the public .. they should check if he has a past history of misconduct , excessive force , police brutality, domestic violence at home etc
if I was to get out my car like that and approach them I probably would get shot or definitely threatening and giving a a verbal speech about it then he's trying to act like right away or I'm the police chief how dare you stop me this man needs to be removed from office he thinks he's Untouchable that the Lord's don't apply to him unbelievable give somebody a little power and they don't know how to act and then he did what he did being vindictive there should be criminal charges brought against this man and lawsuits
They should just arrest him if he gets all like that. They follow the law. By the entire US law, they have 100% all rights to arrest the Chief and then they can also go to the higher ups of them to do full on investigations and stuff of the Chief
Here's a prime example of a person who thinks they are above the law. Those police officers acted professionally and courteously. What a shame they have to endure behavior like what was displayed by the so-called police chief. What's more, he is retaliating against all those people who rely on the Pike County radio channel. He should be reprimanded by the criminal justice department. He needs to go out to pasture. Sad display of power.
As I stated in many of comments on police misconduct videos, no cop is above the law and any cop who does not uphold his other blue line gang members to the same laws that they write tickets to or arrest citizens for, are cops that are breaking the law and needs to be stripped of their police credentials and police powers! I have never seen nor read any ordinance, traffic statue, criminal law that exempts cops. When a cop treats another cop special or gives him special treatment, that cop needs to be stripped of his/her police credentials, gun and badge for criminal misconduct in office! We don't need laws for the but not for me. This is when citizens need to take back the laws and eliminate the police getting special preferential treatment just because they are a member of the Blue Line Gang. We need equal treatment of the laws for everyone. If anything cops and judges need to be treated with higher standards of the laws that they swear to uphold!!!
The laws of the land apply to EVERYONE including police officers from the county and from outside the county whether on duty or off duty. You do not want to get stopped for something you do not consider valid then drive within all the traffic laws
I just called that Dept to voice my concern and was told they "have better things to do than listen to complaints like this.".... Well done Zebulon PD, glad to see you are sticking to being a joke.
If this were you and me they would've cuffed us and throw us in jail. I didn't know cops can be this polite when talking to angry people. Double standards again.
Was policy and procedures met. Did they enter the information correctly and run it accordingly. It’s just an example of how some don’t do what’s on paper to what’s they feel needs to be done.
With him being in law enforcement he should be professional and should of waited till the officer walked to his vehicle and said who he was. As a so called chief he acts like a child
It's just a shame that it didn't come to guns being drawn. If I had got out of my car, and approached the cop car with my hand reaching for the back of my waistband, I would be full of holes..........
Police(not all police just the ones with a inflated ego and no respect for other humans)do not want to be treated like regular citizens when they get stopped it’s almost complete disrespect like do you know who I am. You guys work for me
He's no more than a public employee in small town that feels he is completely unaccountable. There is a serious problem with the way in which this man thinks. His law enforcement career, clearly, needs to come to an abrupt end.
Now, the chief is retaliating by compromising public safety.
A chief who would put citizens at risk by cutting communications because of a bruised ego. That's a dangerous situation.
Typical piggy behavior. Did you genuinely expect better from a chief of police?
This is some HICK shit! Who cares about this stupid ass storty!
It's typical of police, but he's more of a law enforcement politician than a cop. This exposes the root of the issue. When the brass act like ass, they all do.
The chief was ILLEGALLY detained by incompetent cops. Of course he’s going to be upset.
That chief needs a good old fashioned curb stomping.
Police chief acts like a freaking child. He should be immediately recalled or resign.
No he did not.
-Gets pulled over.
-Acts like a toddler on a power trip.
What do you expect from people that NEVER get held accountable for anything.... Even their crimes?
And they're only getting worse.
Qualified Immunity continues to make them bold. That's why it doesn't matter that everything is caught on camera now.
They know there are cameras everywhere and they still act like jerks anyway, because in the end they know that they really won't be punished.
END QUALIFIED IMMUNITY NOW!!!!!
MURICA!!
Ass he should 👏👏💙
I'm sorry but, pulling someone over for window tint only is not good police work, it is profiling.
@@Hatemakesyoustupid You think the chief would argue like this in support of a normal citizen getting a ticket for the same thing?
We investigated ourselves and found ourselves not guilty
🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂💯💯💯

Sounds like Zebulon needs to elect a new sheriff! The county DA needs to investigate!
POLICE CHIEF
The Governor's office and the state's law enforcement department need this to be shown. Anybody has contact to the Governor's office !
A population of less than 8k, I bet this guy gets all sorts of special treatment. Small towns in the U.S are absolutely corrupted. I doubt this Chief will get any repercussions
It’s bs to pull over a car for window tint while their tint is just as dark or darker, I’d be upset too
The Chief thinks he's above the law. He couldn't even be bothered to pull to the shoulder for officer safety. Get that man-child out of law enforcement.

@@b0bbyblueyes746 they still won’t understand!
The head blue line gang chief
so they had RAS for a detainment right? or did they run the plate wrong you moron.
How is the chief above the law? He didn’t break any law. Illegal detainment because of the cops’ incompetence.
That dude is out of control. Excellent reporting
Zebulon’s Chief gets pulled over and wants to have a tantrum. Zebulon and Pike County itself are two of the most notorious speed traps in the state.
That chief needs an audit!
Yeah, he needs to be removed
At 0:49 the Zubulon Chief is aggressively walking up on this cop with his right hand reaching behind him - looked like he was going to pull a weapon. That's a really dangerous way to walk up on a cop.
Thats the first thing I thought too. I was surprised they didnt yell at him to see his hands. Not surprised they didnt shoot him though.
Wrong. He was showing his gun. As a show of rank. All he did was fling jacket
@@gabrielM1111 He was walking up on a cop while exposing a weapon and holding his shooting hand behind him. No matter what his ego thought he was doing, it was a dangerous way to approach a cop who doesn't know him from a whole in the wall.

Can you imagine the LAWS he has violated and gotten away??
Every PD across America. CORRUPT
*EXACTLY!!!*
I doubt it. More like internal retaliations
Funny how the cops got dark windows but pull over people for having the same window tint
If only the rest of us could act like that when being pulled over
The chief totally escalated that interaction the second he jumped out of his car like that all he had to do was wait in his car explain he was a police officer and it's a police vehicle and that's that.
But noooooo -John Belushi
He then had his hand behind his back like he was reaching. Thats enough to get some folks shot.
Should have given him a ticket.
From what I've seen they still can, since he wants to play games they could just mail it to him.
The officer's police chief told them not to. They really wanted to write him a ticket. I know this because those officers are my son and daughter and they told me what happened before this story made the news.
Has the Mayor of Zebulon, Georgia fired the chief yet?
I would hope so. It's a disgrace if he wasn't fired.
Why do they get to have the dark tint? Kind of funny when they start pulling each other over for dark tint.
These cops are like little kids , the Blue Wall of Silence and Brotherhood seems to be crumbling down ,
👍
Not soon enough for citizens who’s rights have been violated by this tantrum baby chief.
0:47 anyone else would have been shot and killed approaching a cruiser and reaching like that.
Especially with him reaching like that, some folks would have been shot
So glad that, of course, it was recorded and is being shared online. Especially now knowing that he's retaliating? What a disrespectful jerk he is - the type that gives cops a bad name. He has no business in any position of authority and needs to be taken out of it.
totally agreed!
If I acted like that over my window tint, the outcome will not be the same.
What a role model! That's how your top dog acts? Lord have mercy.
how else did you expect him to behave? on what planet to people in power like to be treated like people without power and authority ? lets start living in the real world
@@bjvu9460 You seem a little oversensitive as well. If you get pulled over anytime soon you might want to keep your attitude in check.
This cop was never going to receive a citation (professional courtesy), he just didn't have the patience to let it play out.
please tell me this man is charged!!
No. He wasn't given a ticket because the officer's police chief told them not to. Otherwise they would. I know this because those officers are my son and daughter and they told me what happened before this story made the news.
That dude is PRECISELY the kind of person that should NEVER wear a badge, OR CARRY A GUN, PERIOD!
Got pulled over for dark window tint. Now he see how we feel. Now the chief was on a power trip but now he sees how regular citizens feel.
He is the chief of a 21 man dept. Many of these small depts are run like fiefdoms.
Many? ALL! Small town egos run amuck
Nah, just that one
@@ccloud3981 ok Ossifer
ive seen cops draw down and lose there minds over people jumping out of their car. i guess you gotta be a police chief to have any freeedom.
And had his hand behind his back as he walked up to the officer, like he eas reaching. They shoot some folks for that action.
Chief sets the standard by which all cops under him act...SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!!!
HIS "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM " BULL WILL NOT FLY !!! FIRE HIM !
Definitely seeing a lot of fighting goin on in the police and other agencies. Maybe police policing themselves isn’t such a good idea.😂😂😂😂
any one else would have been put in handcuffs or worse! the thin blue line strikes again! a huge part of the disconnect.. of the hatred for so-called law enforcement stems from arrogant thugs like this being in charge!

It's great to see them eat their own. The police chief definitely sees himself as a higher class of citizen.
He should have been arrested for that ugly arse jacket....
With that kind of attitude ... he has to be fired.
If you or I ever did that on a traffic stop we would be arrested for obstruction and whatever else they wanted to add on.
Or dead
Entitlement at it’s finest
Officers did well.❤
Lmao they’re showing their true cowardice. If this was me or you, we would be tazed, beaten, and hauled off to jail.
“Thin Blue Line” is a corrupt organization and needs to be eradicated. We need real policing. Not this corrupt crap. The two officers are worse than the chief himself. They bowed down to him and licked his boots.

They think they are above the law ! They hate it happening to themselves.
Chief earning the hate. Puts perspective on who is serving who.
Evidently everyone is above the law, police and criminals.
True statement right there! 👍
Yep!
And they wonder why there is a disconnect between the police and the public when the chief acts this way.
Wow whats up with all these depts in GA not getting along??? This is like the 3rd video I've seen from GA
Certain people can't handle positions of power ,it goes to their head🙄
They should have went hands-on and arrested him for obstruction, threatening display of a firearm etc like any common peasant would've been had they acted the way that PoS did. It's almost as if law enforcement operate under a completely different set of rules than those who apply to the common citizenry.
Well if this hole police chief thing doesn’t work out for this dude, he looks to me like he could always get a job selling Fried Chicken 😜
Is moving from Chief to Cornel a demotion?
He had better be glad that chief didn’t act like that a NYC cops care, He would have been arrested and let him have it out with a judge. You don’t disrespect the police for doing their job, then complain about crime elsewhere.
"Nice to meet you, Sir." Classic. From one Police Chief to another, Chief Hemphill, you should resign.
When they try to extort one of their own, they don't like it. Hilarious!
That police chief is compromised by his ego. He should have praised his officers...not condemn them. Shame on him.
The Chief’s behavior which is appalling reflects society as whole when people are asked to respond to someone in authority. Remember, the chief is a person first then a police chief.
Public Servant! But I’m pretty sure he doesn’t consider himself a servant!
These guys need better supervision!

Disfrickenscusting police chief who believes he is above the law, pure & simple!

Cannibalism. Pigs chewing on each other.

If I did that I would be arrested, if not shot.
Love that Crown Vics are still being used. Beautiful cars.
Oh, and Chief needs a new job. I think McDonalds needs a toilet cleaner!
He doesn’t have the skills for real work
Police chief need to resign that attitude

How to pull over a narcissist...
Was policy and procedures met. Did they enter the information correctly and run it accordingly. It’s just an example of how some don’t do what’s on paper to what’s they feel needs to be done.
That's how officers act in the military toward enlisted personnel.

This bear some more investigation this guy is such a fool like this think about what happens when he gets under some real pressure
Zebulon, sounds like a planet from Star Trek.
If Star Wars had a yard sale of junk
I live in Pike and this is not why people live here. It’s a beautiful, friendly, low crime community and the chief has embarrassed Pike citizens 😡🙏🇺🇸
Police(not all police just the ones with a inflated ego and no respect for other humans)do not want to be treated like regular citizens when they get stopped it’s almost complete disrespect like do you know who I am. You guys work for me
