“Mind your own business and be on your way. Don’t you ever f--k with me again,” Spina can be heard saying as he leaves. Police say that no law enforcement action was taken against Jette during the stop.giving his account. Jette said he saw Spina driving erratically in traffic and flipped his middle finger at him without realizing he was a police officer. “Once I realized it was a police officer, I pulled my hand back in.

I wanna smack somebody when I see injustices like that. The popo need to go back to basic training. Basic training of how to treat people good! Goddamn y’all when it gonna end?!?!?

I hope that wherever you live, it will never be okay to flip off a police officer. What did he expect, a gold star?

Off topic but please get your reporter Kathy Park out of that water. Dow's poison ponds have leaked into the water. She is in danger.

That officer is a hero. A much needed dressing down.👍👍 Thankfully, the union will stick up for this guy and he will get his well deserved pension.

The cop was definitely have a rage moment. The driver was also at fault though. Stop chasing clout

Somebody should go check on his wife and kids 😳 This idiot has a serious anger problem. He is a disgrace to the badge and a threat to every citizen in CT! The state should get their pen ready to wright that check!

Cursing & screaming = no big deal He sunk himself with the destruction of private property (the black container) He should have wrote the summons & vouchered the container for evidence (rookie move) Enjoy your early retirement 💸💸💸

So cops can kill people off or on duty and get away with it? But I’ll be damned if you wrong talk someone. The life we live in

Sounds about right. Staties on CT like to follow too closely, turn their lights on then off to pass traffic. This doesn't surprise me one bit.

Cops are almost always high on power.

Terrible. This trooper needs to be on desk duty at least until he retires. Road Rage.

And yet, so much worse happens to POC daily without any repercussions for the cops.

This is wrong, and he needs to be investigated.....the trooper. He is using his POWER to ABUSE others.

What in the hell the pandemic got to do for his action

authorkimdavis Damn, I’ve always had good interactions with state police. Never any disrespect, or tickets, they didn’t act like BlueLM. Just told to slow down. Now that too has changed.

Many state troopers are under “extreme stress”. Isn’t that why psych evaluations need to be done before you give them power, badge and gun?

He used profanity and got suspended? Who fucking cares! What about the cops killing innocent poc and getting away with it?

It's nice that he took his time to his explain everything to the guy, but i'm sure if he was POC... bang bang..

Police officers haveno idea whether the person they pull over has a mental or neurological health issue.People with these issues often have difficulty handling pressure.Behavior like this can trigger emotional breakdowns that an officer can find threatening. It can end in tragedy

Are there any good cops left?

We need to stop pretending that this is uncommon. This happens every single day in every state in the union. The police are nothing more than a rival gang deputized by the state. Get over your stupid hero complex.

Expected in Georgia USA, but Connecticut ?

Connecticut? I could see it from one of those douchebag cops in Jersey.

No physical harm was done . And no citation was administered . Them Boys have a tough job . We need to be more supportive of Law Enforcement .

The trooper needs to be fired.

Right... Not saying this was right, because police officer should be de-escalating not raging. But if this guy was black, he would probably be dead. Berate or kill a black person, and they only get in trouble if it was caught on camera and people rise up.

Harsh language... ohhhh no

Power whore ... these dudes need to beat off more.. to much tension

I’m just glad the driver was white. That’s all I’m saying.

White on white and a fin on the car Sooooo Connecticut

Why is is hand on his gun? Not good!

In Germany the po po can beat yo ass.

The cop just found out how he had been getting screwed by the OBAMA administration. Spies, hoaxers.

America wher law and order is enforced thru the barrel of a gun.

There are too many bad cops.

Here’s the proof

Test,the lady said “man not even high school kids score this high”

us minorities always get targeted,1 of my friends took 2 court one racist fuck deputy,they’re so ignorant they see U brown N they think U can’t speak English 😂 some of us can write and read better than some Americans,take it from a Mexican that scored 99 of a 100 on his compass

Covid19 isn't going to stop corrupt cops from inflicting police brutality.

Why isn't he wearing a mask when in contact with multiple people every day therefore a high risk to the motorist?

I didn't think they actually stopped people over there... every time I pass thru everyone goes as fast as possible and we sail past troopers and they pass us, but never stop.

both grossly overweight-- doesn't the US even have basic fitness standards for police, state patrol officers? Or is country where only guns speak?

“Administrative leave” = paid Vacation

They all do this. Every single redcoat out there does this. Not to mention shooting unarmed citizens daily. They should all be fired or put on leave. modernredcoats Oathbreakers fuckyourblueline

The officer was just having a bad day and having to deal w an asshole pot head, blew his gasket. The officer was blowing steam. He needs help, that's all. Over all he seems to be an otstanding officer. All his life doing it right and one bad and they want to ditch the guy.

Keep mouth shut, take dude to jail for possession. Let judge decide. Or end career early. Damn

Shoot a black man, get promoted. Yell at a white man, get disciplined.

Nice excuse “the officers are stressed”. THEN GET A LESS STRESSFUL JOB, DICKS.

Can’t be caught berating ya own skin 🤦🏽‍♂️

Somebody needs some mandatory leave and anger management before he returns to work.

I'm from Ireland guards f and blind here every day. They don't carry guns though.

Only profanity? In Kenya, the cops will pluck off all your teeth and ask you to report to he cops. And imagine, we are just fine..

Oh no, not caught on tape swearing! Cops literally murder Black people on camera and go to work the next day while the incident is investigated.

Apparently his Subaru had those balls that hang off the back

Oh No !!

That cop got issues

Who cares? How ridiculous that this even warrants any publicity yet alone a internal investigation . The driver is a piece of shit for flipping the bird. 2 rules in life : don’t reach for another person’s gun & don’t flip the bird while driving unless you are prepared to 👊 fight

Well at least driver didn't get shot n killed!! fransaundersays

This trooper is a disgrace to the badge. He is a threat to every motorist in CT. He should be terminated immediately. Since he's looking forward to retirement in 14mths, I say give it to him early, with no pension. His behavior is repulsive. He clearly has anger issues.

But the ones who shoot/kill for same go to work then home for dinner everyday.

It happened to a white man action have been taken already against the police officer. But a black man was kill and the system is looking a way to push it under d table.

Trooper, if you're overly stressed, and can't control your behavior, there is help available. Contact your local mental health services. May God Bless

Hly shite! Somebody’s having a reallll bad day

That’s all. If he were black, he’d be on the ground ... Next!

He shouldn't be an officer. Pricks shouldn't have guns.

He had the right to be angry though, but he overreacted. Sometimes, people just have to let things go. Government job isn’t your family’s business. Stop taking everything too personally!!! 🤷🏼‍♂️

I had a Connecticut state trooper do that to me in 1991. If you're being an idiot in I-95 they'll let you know.

The Trooper lost his cool but he’s right, a lot of people I’ve dealt with tell me how the law works or what my F’n job is. It’s been like that my entire career, with the State and now the Feds.

Good! I am so sick of bullies, of any kind. Just so sick of it.

Driving while white

Jette is a fn weasel. Spina for Governor.

Hope he doesn't have a dog at home....

Meow do you know you were speeding? Can I see your license and registration meow?

I’m a Powerball lottery winner, my story has been an inspiration for friends and family that knows about my battle with credit card debt before winning the lottery , I’m clearing off credit card debt off all my followers and interested Americans God Bless America

His punishment was more severe than the police who kill young black men.

Racism again...

Just another pig with a badge in the new Trumpistan ...

OMG that poor, poor citizen. Police brutality!!!

He tries to make up for his 2 inch penis.
