This is such a sensationalist framing of this incident.
Don’t get me wrong, Its a great video. I watched the whole thing last night and this guy is a real piece of shit all around. It was great watching him go down, but focusing on one sentence in a thirty minute video just to put racism in the headline is dirty journalism.
We could hear that the officer had a thick Haitian accent before this guy made his remark, and there isn’t a negative tone when he asks, he could have been trying to build a connection with this guy to talk his way out of the ticket. The other officer shut down the whole topic quickly and the drunk didn’t bring it up again.
The guy probably is racist as hell, but I don’t think there’s condemning evidence of that in this video.
When he asks if he’s Haitian and the other cop says it doesn’t matter, doesn’t the DUI guy say “yes it does”? That definitely seems like a negative tone and racially profiling to me, why would it matter if he’s Haitian?
I forgot about the second statement if that’s how it played out.
Just seems to me like the big story was him being drunk with his kids in the car and trying to get out of it by playing the LEO Get out of jail free card.
Despite whoever interprets this as defending racism (which it absolutely isn’t) I still think it’s a predatory click bait headline looking for reaction traffic.

Probably going to have his boys hassle his family.

The big story is that this racist scum think he is above the law just because he is an ice(thug) agent
