POS is dangerously out of control.


(NSFW... language)

The NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau is investigating a video that shows an Uber driver being pulled over in the West Village on Monday and subjected to a xenophobic rant by a man who appears to be a plainclothes cop.

The driver filed a complaint with police, which prompted the NYPD to assign the case to the Internal Affairs Bureau. But the driver was not given a summons, according to Uber, and police said investigators are working to determine whether the driver was pulled over by a plainclothes officer from the department or an outside law enforcement agency.

"I don't know where you're coming from, where you think you're appropriate in doing that; that's not the way it works. How long have you been in this country?"the man, who is white, hollered at the driver after pulling him over in an unmarked car with flashing lights, according to video of the encounter.

Moments before slamming the car door and storming away, the hot-headed man shouted at the driver: "I don't know what f---ing planet you're on right now!"
