    It’s really hard to have sympathy for someone begging to see their kids when they drove recklessly with them in the car.

    Also, you know, the whole ripping other families apart, for the law or whatever. I guess he’s cool with enacting destruction, but not so much on the receiving end.

    It’s not like I’d expect much self awareness, but come on, dude… “I’m federal.” “Why you fucking me?” “Are you Haitian?” and you can’t walk a straight line? Who is really fucking who? Hint: look in the mirror. Personal responsibility, homie…

    Of course some people of any group will do shitty things like DWI. That’s not news. It doesn’t tell us anything about the group. This is anecdotal.

    But it’s shocking that being held accountable is newsworthy. These people operate above the law. Even when not related to their job, they often are. That’s fucked

    Man, Do i respect this guy. Kids in the back crying, you drunk as fuck, and about to go to jail. Does that stop him from being racist? Fuck No! What a winner. Can’t see why his wife left him?

        The vet stuff was more of a “im fucked up so i can pass this test.”

        The “same team” screams “HOW DARE YOU HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE!”

    That’s the video from the article. Tough to watch. He’s very clearly very drunk and trying to talk his way out of it for 30min. Appealing to his authority as fellow law enforcement, even trying to pull an ICE by racially profiling that one cop. Being a Karen. But the worst is how he’s constantly hiding behind his kids and his role as father I guess. Like having kids per se absolves him of any crime. Dude, making them is the easy part.

      This guy really doesn’t recognize who he is: racist, driving drunk, irresponsible father. Those kids could have been hurt.

      Delightful. Dude acted like an angsty teenager the whole time, which is probably where he stopped maturing so that makes sense, and actually got a consequence which is great to see.

      And man, wild how he could walk that line but just standing still was next to impossible. When he had to stand with his feet together and fell back that look of “yo who pushed me” was so fucking funny. Brother the wind ain’t that strong.

        I guess we were lucky he didn’t start a fight. Instead we could watch him squirm and whine and “dude, really?!” for half an hour.
        OTOH there were 3 police cars behind him and at least 3 guys (no idea who stayed in the car), not much he could’ve done anyhow, and I’m pretty sure he was aware of the numbers. He certainly didn’t behave because of his kids, despite his endless protestations and the cop reminding him.

          Dude definitely didn’t join ICE for a fair fight so not surprised that he didn’t start anything. They’re all cowards, he probably wouldn’t have done anything violent unless there were more of him than cops and then bro definitely would have thrown proper fit.

    The officer proceeded to administer field sobriety tests. During the tests, another officer came over to ensure that Deiseroth did not stumble while trying to walk a straight line along the side of a busy highway.

    Deiseroth then questioned why the second officer, who was Black, was there, and the officer informed him that it was to prevent him from getting hit by oncoming traffic.

    Deiseroth responded by repeatedly asking the officer, “Are you Haitian?”

    Deiseroth was then informed by the officer administering the sobriety test that “it doesn’t matter” where the other officer was from or his heritage.

    “Yes it does,” Deiseroth replied.

    Ignorant sack of shit to the bitter end.

      It makes me wonder what type of rhetoric he’s hearing internally at DHS. Is that why it “matters” if the officer is Haitian? Are they being instructed that Haitians are higher on their shit list or something?

        It’s just a handy question to into update any black person in general. They start threatening to take them in until they confirm their citizenship, which should only take a few days. Most people will back down, no matter how innocent they are.

    If two non-white ICE agents were off duty and had an argument with each other at a bar, they’ll definitely try to deport each other lol.

      Watched an ICE protest live in IL a few days ago, and the best part was a guy on a loudspeaker going “hey, that cop look Mexican. Why don’t you check his immigration status?” Or “that cop looks a little brown, you sure he’s an American? He could be a protestor.” Lmfaooo

    Dude would have been dragged out of his car and tased and ziptied if he was brown. Broski was given time to leisurely talk to his kids through the back window before discussion behind the vehicle.

      How is this not the highest comment here. Regardless of who he works for, this guy absolutely got little kid gloves even after being aggressive during the test and most importantly HE ACTUALLY RESISTED ARREST!

      I know I shouldn’t be hoping for someone to get police brutality treatment but I’m just fucking fed up with this shit

        I’d rather most stops were more like his, if I’m to be honest. Meaning, treating the person as if they are a human (even if the guy does come off like an entitled douche). I have a feeling if it was him pulling over someone brown, it might look like some of the clips I’ve seen Meidas posting, where ICE is ripping open a car door and pulling people out of a car, getting them on the ground, etc. I have a feeling these guys were being more than deferential because of what his job was.

        This guy was actually doing something dangerous in his case - driving under the influence. Granted, I don’t know the full context of those ICE videos I’ve seen short clips of, but it sure seems they are escalating things rather quickly and only because they are brown. Do these people really need to be hauled out of their car, wrestled to the ground, etc.?

      Yea the most notable part of the story is that the cops actually did their job and arrested him instead of letting him go as soon as they heard he was a fellow cop. If the guy played it a bit cooler and wasn’t so belligerent and racist to them they probably would have.

        Not so sure; he was very obviously very drunk. He was just trying to delay the inevitable - revealing exactly what types of scumbag he is in the process.

      100% but somehow we’re uncivilized and need to be policed more. Meanwhile, the most dangerous places in America isn’t the inner cities. We still have sun down towns in America.

    the officers informed him that his sons’ mother—with whom Deiseroth had said earlier he was going through a divorce—would pick up the two children at the police station.

    This story is gonna go over so well in the divorce proceedings
