Police in Uganda said they arrested a U.S. citizen this week after reviewing video that appeared to show him physically attacking hotel employees.

The official account for the Uganda Police Force wrote on Twitter Friday that they had arrested Jimmy Taylor after reviewing footage of the incident, which occurred at the Grand Imperial Hotel in Kampala, Uganda.

Taylor was detained at the Central Police Station in Kampala and is being charged with assault, police wrote on their official Twitter account.

"Thank you for your vigilance and sending us a video of an incident that happened at Grand Imperial Hotel. We have arrested the suspect, Jimmy Taylor, an American citizen," the Uganda Police Force Twitter account wrote. "He was detained at the Central Police Station, Kampala on charges of assault. #CommunityPolicing"

1. I don't think that he's going to enjoy jail in Kampala.

2. Throw the book at him.

3. I hate that my first reaction is: The Dotard is probably going to purposely harm Uganda over this

but that is where we are. That is what we can expect based on his prior behavior.

And that is absolutely galling, that we wake up every day in a world where the following is an entirely rational, historically justified expectation: that the ability of one fat white male asshole American to behave like a sociopath is more important to the scum-bag in the Oval Office than an entire nation of non-white non-Americans.

Murica stands fer relijus lieberty and freedumb.

4. They should never allow dangerous criminals like this into their country

the violent drunk man must be from some shithole country and believe in some primitive religion

I stopped the large-screen video, trying to see what his hat says, but I can't make it out.

Watching on Facebook, I see it's a Vietnam Veteran hat. Interesting discussion on Facebook, with many Africans weighing in.

9. Just went over to YouTube to read them, and they have disabled the comments by now!

They must have continued in the same vein you mentioned! Wow.

I would surely hope they were mostly against the KKKristian.

The video is better from YouTube, for sure.

13. Sorry, I clicked on the Facebook icon in the video, not YouTube. Facebook is where I saw comments.

Sorry, Judi Lynn - I've fixed my post above to reflect Facebook, not YouTube.

16. What an insane, vulgar tirade.

My sympathies to those workers exposed to this event. Someone in the US from this man's organization should apologize in public. He should be jailed for assault and then deported.

Would like to hear the reaction if this clip was played on Sunday morning in his home church for the full congregation.

14. Lock him up! Lock him up! This has made my day. NT

22. This is a good case for revoking a passport.

International travel is a privilege. Reflecting poorly on the US is a good reason to prevent it.

23. From your keyboard to Dog's ear. nt

[getagrip_already]

15. interesting...

These asshats belive they embody the power of christ, but don't have a clue about the man or his actual beliefs. Who would christ have punched while drunk? Who would christ have called a n____r, knowing he probably was very black himself?

Ahhh, religion, empowering asshats to oppress and abuse for milenia.

17. good

Jesus is not in him.....but you can believe this is exactly what HE THINKS of ALL brown skin people. I had visions of the KKKristian slave owner here in amerika with this one. Let him pray behind those bars to his god...

20. This guy is a natural for the 2018 Ugly American Prize.

21. Wow, what a lowlife piece of trash!

Typical Trump voter! He deserves all the time in an Ugandian prison that they will give him! Let him continue his N-word tirades in there and see how far it gets him! With a little luck he'll never set foot on American soil again! One less vote for Trump!

[Judi Lynn]

24. We don't need him back here. We've got more than enough like him, already.

Welcome to D.U., Bonheur.
