A Miami police officer has been suspended pending an investigation into a brawl he had with an alleged speeding driver he recently pulled over who turned out to be his ranking officer.
Officer Marcel Jackson didn't know he was pulling over a fellow cop when he made the traffic stop and was shocked when he says the driver lunged at him and told him to get back in his car.
The driver turned out to be Lieutenant David Ramras with the force's internal affairs unit. Despite Ramras's apparent combativeness toward the uniformed officer, it's now Jackson who's been suspended.
Scroll down for video As WPLG notes, it's Ramras who appears in video taken by Jackson's GoPro camera to lunge first. Miami police cruisers are not equipped with cameras and it's unknown why Jackson was taking video. The footage begins as Jackson is first pulling over the white Chevrolet, whose driver he would later say refused to stop at first. When the driver did stop, Jackson approached the car. When he asked for the driver's license and proof of insurance, the driver appears to fling his car door at Jackson and lunge.

And guess who gets suspended-the officer who pulled over higher rank officer.Ramras,come across as if he is above the laws and how dare you think the laws apply to me
Jackson needs to get a good lawyer.
Oh ho! The shoe's on the other foot... So even among the privileged class, some are more privileged than others? Beautiful!
Lieutenant David Ramras can be heard saying, “Do you know who the #$^& I am?” Seems to think he’s above the law.
Did he get a speeding ticket? Or did the cop just let it slide?
Welcome to the party, pal.
Wasnt it in Miami where a highway patrol pulled over a local cop going 120 on his way to a second job.
Seems he IS above the law.
“Seems to think he’s above the law.”
That Jack Boot doesn’t just think he is above the law, HE IS ABOVE THE LAW!
At any time, any cop can shoot you and be virtually assured of eventual exoneration.
Libtards always want a police state, and Miami has been a pest hole of Libtardism for many generations. It is not correct to assume the Cubans brought corruption to Miami. For the historically inclined, Meyer Lansky ran the Miami crime syndicate and he was Jewish, not Cuban. He was another of the socialism impaired who left Neu Yuk City and helped shape Miami into Miuba with the voting practices they inherited from their parents.
It sounds like the uniformed officer has a personal GoPro camera in the cop car. Maybe he wanted footage of himself heroically beating up a motorist.
Ping
Flouting the law, feels he’s above the law, combative, and gets revenge.
Yup, he’s a liberal.
Wanna bet he voted for the Obamadork/felon?
High Rank Officer Safety gets his butt kicked for being a tool.
Low Rank Officer Safety gets suspended.
Sounds like a win/win for the citizens of Miami.
I love cop on cop violence. None of them think that the laws and fines they hang on the peasants necks apply to them.
Same goes for the Judges, and the Politicians. Cockroaches.
2. Lt Ramurass is IA. That’s the quality of oversight you’ve got in PDs these days.
3. Ramurass yells, “Do you know who the fưȼ¥k I am?” Why should it matter?
4. Switch a regular ole ‘civilian’ in for Ramurass in this situation. Now, how does it play out?
couple of years ago a cop here was pulled over for drunk driving and speeding by another cop. the drunk cop was driven home and the only punishment was couldn’t take his patrol car home. He still works for the dept.
” Wasnt it in Miami where a highway patrol
pulled over a local cop going 120 on his
way to a second job.”
And around the country, cops blaimed the FHP woman who stopped him.
Cops are extreme hypocrites.
This is the measure of modern LE. Few have any integrity, and the few who do get hounded.
Maybe they should pay attention to the memorial for a cop killer. Or the amount of people who cheered Dorner on.
All the guy in the car had to do is say yes I was speeding, I am with internal affairs. Either he would have been given a ticket or not. The internal affairs should be fired.
Questions I have is how fast was he going, how was he driving, where he was coming from and going to?
That should explain his reaction. I think he was covering up something.
