So I guess electing a black president didn't satisfy them. I guess we should all move back to where we came from and let this be a chocolate nation as Ray Nagin would say. Can I say Nagin? I never know anymore what sets people off. Although telling a white deputy he is in the KKK is apparently OK. Amazing.

What scares me the most about living in Florida is the fact that I always have to click on these articles to make sure the idiots in question aren't anyone I know, because they always sound like they could be.

/damnit

Sounds like double secret racism to me.

FTA: Canine deputies also smelled narcotics in the air.

Umm, where else would they smell it? Underwater?

I guess this proves that police officers get preferential treatment during arrests. Normally, telling a policeman he and his family members are KKK members would result in a beat down for the average citizen.

...of course they are.

My guess is the next step in this cop story is...cop cops a plea and cop gets fired...

Diogenes: I hate it when people play the racist card.

Maybe, but at least I guess you can quit with the lantern now.

I know DUI laws vary greatly from state-to-state, but in Florida is a misdemeanor typical for a "first offense DUI" even after refusing to take a breath test?

that was written confusingly, not sure where the KKK comes into play and who said what about it.


/Wonders what the illionios nazi's have to say about it.

Proud2B_American: My guess is the next step in this cop story is...cop cops a plea and cop gets fired...

or maybe, cop cops a feel from cop, cop cops cop's weed, then cop cops a plea?

Why does this remind me of Mel Gibson for some reason?

Yes.

Ditto. And think it's interesting how the commenters have jumped on it.

They're both cops in the same county. Maybe he knows that him and his dad really are in the KKK?

Diogenes: I hate it when people play the racist card.

After a while it starts to remind me of the fable "The Boy Who Cried wolf".

Think about it.

I have racist uncle-in-law (if thats a thing)who is also a cop, and brags about being in the KKK, and lives on the west coast of Florida. I was disappointed when I clicked the link.

RU in the KKK?

While the theme from Cops plays.

Ha Ha.

Another ignorant cop. What are the odds??????

Lamune_Baba: I know DUI laws vary greatly from state-to-state, but in Florida is a misdemeanor typical for a "first offense DUI" even after refusing to take a breath test?

What are you looking for? A felony? Good grief...

Shouldn't a cop know where the DUI checkpoints are? I figured they'd be posted on a bulletin board in the locker room or something like that.

Damn, usually dropping the KKK membership info into the confrontation works. He just pulled a rookie maneuver.

Canine deputies also smelled narcotics in the air, but when Young's car was searched, no marijuana was discovered.

Well they should have searched for narcotics instead of marijuana.

ShillinTheVillain: Lamune_Baba: I know DUI laws vary greatly from state-to-state, but in Florida is a misdemeanor typical for a "first offense DUI" even after refusing to take a breath test?

Yes.

Florida Law permits a person to REFUSE to submit to testing one time without any criminal penalty. Refusing a BAC test is your best way to go if you know you are over the limit, as the prosecution is denied of the scientific evidence.

NightOwl2255: Umm, where else would they smell it? Underwater?

Could have been frozen, I suppose. Or a plasma.

Ms.Maus: the comments are pretty :o

You're not lying! Also, the Grammar Nazi would have a field day.

Handmade KKK costume? Is there another kind? Does Macy's have a secret Intolerance line of clothing that I am unfamiliar with?

it was written confusingly, but from I understand the guy getting arrested was black and was accusing the arresting deputy of being in the KKK

dj245: Is there another kind?

Indeed, I remember watching a 10-min video on an elderly lady whose sole occupation was sewing KKK robes. Although I suppose that still counts as 'handmade', but from a life-long professional outfitter, that's a good thing. If you're in the KKK, that is.

NightOwl2255: FTA: Canine deputies also smelled narcotics in the air.

Easier there than in a vacuum.

there really is a KKK? no farkig way...what a bunch of tools.

FTA: "Canine deputies also smelled narcotics in the air, but when Young's car was searched, no marijuana was discovered."

I'd like some clarification here. Are these "canine deputies" dogs? How do they know the dogs smelled "narcotics"? Can the dogs testify in court? I didn't think so.

Dude, K-Mart, duh.

eyes appeared to be blood shot and watery and he was speaking with a "thick tongue". ....

And what woman can't resist a man with a thick tongue.

Definitely not in Klan, although some ass clown relatives are.

OMFG, Lee County, LOL

Had my run in with them as a "youngster".

Come to think of it, it was around the same time I had a run-in with Collier County.

Stupidest cops evar. Complete assholes. Both counties.

/has a FLA state flag from one of those courthouses
//no recollection of how I got it
///I swear

the comments on the article page are pretty entertaining

Dam. They're everywhere.

I'm not sticking up for the cop for driving drunk, but seriously, what a bunch of bullshiat that you get harassed for simply avoiding the checkpoint. If I see one and I can avoid it, I will. And I never drink and drive. I would do it for the simple fact that I am not going to allow them to treat me like a criminal for merely driving down the street. If I'm not breaking the law(I.E. illegal U-turn) with my maneuver to avoid the checkpoint, they have no right to harass me for a perfectly legal maneuver.

/is glad though that they treated the cop like any other citizen in regards to charging him, rather than letting him walk

Bark, bark, bark, sniff, sniff, bark, bark.

There you go

dj245: Macy

Wrong store. You need to go Abercrombie & Fitch, they're right next to the Boss & Co. shotguns.

TheGreatGazoo: Shouldn't a cop know where the DUI checkpoints are? I figured they'd be posted on a bulletin board in the locker room or something like that.

They sure are. In fact, our city actually tells the public about the checkpoints too if you think to check our website. Yet, many cops also party away from their jurisdictions.

Sounds like someone forgot the secret handshake.
