‘I Will F*** You Up’: Off-Duty Cop in ‘Trump 2020’ Hat Caught on Video Threatening a Civilian, Placed on Leave

A Missouri police officer was placed on leave from police duty after a video, which went viral over the weekend, showed him threatening to “fuck […] up” a civilian.

In the video, which has already racked up more than 1.7 million views on the social media platform TikTok, an off-duty St. Joseph Police Department officer identified as Brandon Harrison is shown verbally berating and physically threatening a man he believed had hit his car, according to the Kansas City Star.

Harrison, who was wearing a cut-off t-shirt and backwards blue and white “Trump 2020” hat, had been with the department since Jan. 7, 2019.

The video begins after the altercation was already underway and shows Harrison, who stands nearly a foot taller than the civilian male, later identified as Max McLeod, standing inches away from the man and yelling at him to “sit down” on the ground.

McLeod attempts to speak to a uniformed officer who had arrived on the scene but Harrison interrupts, screaming, “You just hit my fucking car. Sit the fuck down.”

“Please get out of my face,” the man asks Harrison.

“I’m not working right now. I’m on vacation. I will fuck you up. Sit down,” Harrison responds.

The uniformed officer tells McLeod to “do what he says,” and sit down.

Steroid bro has no place in the police department. Also, what right did the uniformed police officer have in searching his vehicle? She should also be placed on leave.

and (on a minor, gallows-humor note), abuses of shirts.

Seriously though. Not surprised to see this coming out of MO. Good to see he's been relieved of his duties, and hope he's relieved of his job.

when it comes to cops.
Despite their oh so cute wannabe military infrastructure (police "Sergeants", "Lieutenants", etc) unless they operate under the UCMJ (which the PDs across the country mode decidedly do NOT) they're ALL civilians.

(I'll climb down from my soapbox now)

The uniformed officer should have arrested the off-duty officer on the spot.

Well actually I can. I think one of the biggest problems with cops is too many Republicans in the police force.

People like that guy couldn't care less about public safety and there's an overabundance of authoritarians in law enforcement.
