Police Lieutenant Gets Away With Violating The Law. Surprised?



The Young Turks * Published on Jul 16, 2014

"A Miami cop pulled someone over last month on a routine traffic stop, but the ensuing mess resulted in an internal investigation because it turns out the man this police officer pulled over was actually a higher-ranking officer in the same police department. Officer Marcel Jackson pulled over Lieutenant David Ramras and things got intense really quickly.

In a video captured on Jackson's GoPro camera, you can see them fighting and Jackson forcing Ramras to the ground. Other officers nearby run up to break the two of them up. Ramras angrily shouts, "Do you know who the fuck I am?" He then tells Jackson who he is.

Needless to say, things haven't turned out well for either of them. Jackson was relieved with pay, and Ramras has been reassigned. There is currently an investigation underway into the matter." *


- Miami cops should be used to being pulled-over at gunpoint.....

Was the Lt. on duty and did he have a legitimate reason for speeding?
Like to a crime scene?

P.S. I see state troopers speeding on the interstates all the time.
Maybe they're 'responding'?
Or maybe just going for lunch?
Or end-of-shift and going home?
Who knows?
