Do You Know Who the F*ck I Am? FL Cop Pulls over the Wrong Guy
by Josh Feldman | 7:38 pm, July 15th, 2014 video
A Miami cop pulled someone over last month on a routine traffic stop, but the ensuing mess resulted in an internal investigation because it turns out the man this police officer pulled over was actually a higher-ranking officer in the same police department. Officer Marcel Jackson pulled over Lieutenant David Ramras and things got intense really quickly.

In a video captured on Jacksons GoPro camera, you can see them fighting and Jackson forcing Ramras to the ground. Other officers nearby run up to break the two of them up. Ramras angrily shouts, Do you know who the fuck I am? He then tells Jackson who he is.
Needless to say, things havent turned out well for either of them. Jackson was relieved with pay, and Ramras has been reassigned. There is currently an investigation underway into the matter.
Watch the video of the incident here:

(11,843 posts)had he been a "non police officer of color" he would have prompted drawing of weapons at a minimum. It would not be hard to imagine him being shot because "he could have been reaching for a weapon."
