Miami Beach officer Kenneth MacLeod goes on profanity-laced rant after giving motorcyclist a ticket. Enlarge
ALBERT VALDES/VIA YOUTUBE
A cop in Florida went absolutely ballistic recently over a comment directed at him from a motorcyclist that he felt was just a bit too glib for his taste.
YouTube user Albert Valdes uploaded a video to YouTube on Monday of Miami Beach Police Officer Kenneth MacLeod launching into a profanity-laced rant at a young male motorcyclist who had just received a ticket from the officer.
MacLeod initially appeared to end the conversation with an age-old pleasantry: “Have a good day. Get out of my face before I decide that this might be not the best judgment that I made.”
“You have a great day, too, sir,” the man said.
“Trust me, I will,” the officer said.
“God bless you,” the man then continued.
The officer then returns – “you know what?” – as the man shifts the camera upward so their faces can be seen. "I ought throw your a-- in jail," MacLeod said before diving into profane rant.
"You wanna be a sarcastic b----h? I'll be f-----g a bigger b---h," the officer said before threatening to send the man to Dade County Jail. "You're f-----g with the wrong dude, bro. I've been here longer than you've been alive."
The young man ultimately decides to diffuse the situation, telling the officer, “I would like to go to work, sir.”
Det. Vivian Thayer from the Miami Police Department said in a Miami News Times report Wednesday that MacLeod is being investigated, but added that the other man in the video has not filed a complaint.

I want to thank everybody that also thinks the cop was in the wrong, which he was. I was respectful up to the point where he gave me a $1000 ticket for my license plate and told me to go back to school and take physics lessons because I said that it flipped up by itself considering it's on there with zip-ties. That's when I got sarcastic. I in no way wanted to make it seem like I was being sincere when I said god bless you. I have another 10 minutes of footage of him fucking with me, so thank you to all my non-cop supporters. As for everyone else, go fuck yourself...or better yet, wait the the cops fuck you.

+The22NITSCHKE What does it matter what happened in the rest of the video? It does not warrant the cop's poor verbal treatment of this kid. The cop did not handle that professionally. and that's why The Miami Beach Internal Affairs department is doing an investigation. They have already stated that this is "not typical, or courteous, or what they expect from their officers" So, Nitschke, I can only assume that you know the cop, or you yourself are a cop.

+Albert Valdes Sorry you had to go through that. I'm 37 and I used to live in Dade and Broward county. What you showed just highlights a little of the problem with LEO in that area. They're assholes. I look forward watching officer MaCleod get tore up in IA for this totally unprofessional behavior.
As you said, Do we really want people this sensitive running around with badges and guns?
For those of you who say Albert deserved this, Fuck you. Wait till one of those of Sociopaths find you do something wrong even when you didn't mean it and see if you enjoy this crap.

If a cop can't handle sarcasm, should he be a cop? Do you trust a man like this with a gun and your life? Do you trust this same man to "protect and serve"? This is the same man that arrests or even worse, kills innocent people because he can't handle sarcasm. If he can't handle a sarcastic 20 year old kid, how is he gonna handle a real criminal?

Why are you talking like you have the high ground here. At no point did he threaten to kill you. And you really do have an attitude problem, i'm glad he got stuck into you for your hopeless sarcasm. Man up, mean what you say, say what you mean or dont say anything at all. Shitty teenagers talk the way you do. Upload the full video and not just the convenient 1 minute at the end.

You're lucky he didn't punch you in your smug face. It was all sarcastic and funny until he threatened to toss your ass in jail, then you got respectful really quick. He should have shoved your phone up your ass sideways.

The cop did nothing wrong. The other guy however needs to learn some respect and not be a smartarse when hes letting you off lightly. I can see why the cop switched and if you have no respect for him and decide to take the piss I dont expect him to have any respect for you.

Nothing wrong? Are you insane the cop did his job and gave the guy the ticket, then after the guy saying more or less saying 'whatever' to this roid rage asshole, the cop threatens him with arrest because he did not like that the guy was not cowering in fear. Honestly that cop needs a pillow case party.

+AJJ J First of all, I doubt the guy just turned his camera on at this moment. I'm sure he was being a dick or did something wrong and edited that part out. Secondly, you seem to hold cops in such high esteem and say that they should only get the respect that they give others, but then you go and defend someone acting like a sarcastic dick head and expect the cop to treat him with respect. I get that cops should be held to a higher standard, but they are people just like us. The cop may have been having a bad day, and was trying to be nice and let the kid off easy, but getting lip service from him set him off. Is it right? No, but none of that would have happened if the kid didn't A) break the law in the first place, or B) run his mouth to the cop letting him off easy.

It's the people who are defending the cop who are missing the point. Nobody is saying that the kid wasn't being a sarcastic dick. The point is that there is no law prohibiting him from being sarcastic to police officers. The cop on the other hand is bound by a strict code of conduct policy that he violated multiple times during this encounter (Florida's officer ethical requirements are available online).
This isn't a "reap the disrespect you sow" scenario. The cop agreed to certain specific conduct rules when he accepted his job and taxpayer-funded salary. If following those rules is too tall an order for this man, then maybe the taxpayers should want to alleviate him of the responsibility.

fuck off. theres no law preventing me from disrespecting you either but im sure you'll love it if i walked down the street disrespecting you. get a grip on reality. The kid acts like a little brat and finally someone has balls enough to tow him into line and the whole world cries fowl. This is why everyone calls my generation useless, this is why everyone calls my generation privileged and good for nothing. cause of shits like this kid.

This is the kind of cop that should be followed home after his shift and shot in the head while he is sleeping.

You, sir, are the ignorant fuck. The first 10 minutes, while relevant to the traffic stop, have absolutely jack shit to do with the officer losing his mind. He's acting like a wild animal and I wouldn't be surprised if he were to get violent with suspects. That, my friend, is a bad cop. A cop who doesn't have the mental fortitude to not let some pimple faced prick on a crotch rocket russle his jimmies is not the cop I want roaming the streets with a gun and authority to do almost anything he wishes free from impunity. So, 'The22NITSHKE', you can go suck your mom's cock and eat a plate of bird shit.

I think people are missing the point. You said "God bless you" in a sarcastic f u type of way. It was disrespectful and you deserved the cop getting in your face. Act like a prick, get treated like a prick. He didn't touch you in any way that I could see. Stop playing it like you were trying to wish him a good day. You weren't. You were being a dick and he called you on it, then you shut up when he offered you jail for the night. You should have shut up sooner.

He threatened unlawful arrest. The cop has to go. What a fool that cop was. This will go viral and he will cry and apologize, talk about how tough it is to be a cop…. go to sensitivity class. I feel sorry for his wife and kids.

No there is no law that says you have to respect police. You have to obey them and he did by taking the ticket. Anything after that was personal and the cop still threatened to jail the boy because he did not cower in fear at this prick.

I don't buy it at all. This kid definitely cocked off to the cop to provoke it, He manipulated the video (cut off the beginning) so you can't see what he did.

Even if he did, the officer should not react like that. The officers job is to give him a warning or give him a ticket or taking him to jail.
I agree, the kid was being sarcastic, but there is no reason for the officer to react like that. Most likely the officer slept on a bed of rocks, had a bad breakfast and was carrying on some bad energy from a previous incident in his life to react like that for something he deals with every day, it is part of his job.
That kid is not the first sarcastic kid he encounters in his career, he should know how to handle it professionally.
For what I see in the video, it was only a traffic violation, if it was something greater, the officer should have arrested him.
Police officers need to control their emotions and not make it personal, if they can't, they should find another job. They are not allowed to speak to anyone like that.

It's in the description. Obstructed license plate. With that being said, being sarcastic is not grounds for arrest.

Wonder what is going to happen to him after this runs on the 11 o'clock news? A Loud Officer McCloud goes off on Young Latino Male for nothing but a blessing. The Armed Badged Uniformed Fascist Thug called McCloud has been on the streets much too long, he should retire. He just does not have what it takes to deal with people in today's society. This McCloud guy is bad news that no longer should be working for the people. He is nothing more than a lawsuit waiting to pay off big time.

I think this cop took some rounds to his body back in 1992, according to a little research that I easily did.
He might want to change the way he treats people before the wrong person sees to it that he takes a few more. Fucking pig.
