I need advice on how to handle an off-duty dirty cop that spit on me and tried to fight me outside of a bar.?

Question

I need a lot more room to explain this unbelievable story, but basically I was walking out of a bar when a drunk guy spit right in my face for absolutely no reason and balled his fists up and said "go ahead, I'm a cop, I'll F you up"...Until he said he was a cop, I thought I was going to have to put him in the bed for a few weeks but I remembered that I am a software developer and I have a career to protect. To my amazement, it turns out that he is indeed a cop. I did absolutely nothing to this guy and he spit on me. You don't spit on another man. The best part is, I saw him out later that week at a different bar and he pulled the same card and told the manager that he was a cop and I needed to leave. They came over and kicked me out while he smiled at me and got to stay and enjoy his beer. I'm so pissed off that my tax dollars are paying these dirty cops. We need good cops. Not this guy who gets off on abusing his power. I'm pretty sure that there were cameras there. What should I do?

Answer 1

He gives his Dept a bad  name. If that hapened i would have called the cops and he would probably been charged with Drunk in public if it was outside the bar and assualt.

Answer 2

You should have called the police and have him charged.

Answer 3

Police are supposed to withhold their civic duty in uniform or not. Most likely you could get this *** fired.

Answer 4

Hi,

As crazy as this may seem but you should call the police on him. Especially if you know that his act of dirty deed was caught on camera.  Don't be afraid and remember all of those apples are not bad.

Good Luck

Answer 5

were there witnesses to him spitting on you? You should have filed a report for assault. i know that sounds childish but thats what you can do. if you were not in the wrong you could have filed a poliece report.

Answer 6

Just stay away from bars for a while.  Find out his name and report him to the prosecutor of your city.  I am sure you are not the only person complaining.  .With the upcoming election you may be able to put this cop out of his misery

Answer 7

He is crazy leave him alone,  likely he is one of the clean policemen it's to hard to explain.
