President Zelensky demands that the interior minister sack the police chief 's driver who violated traffic rules and then called for armed "help" to deal with patrol cops who dared to stop his car.

A bodycam video that captured an incident involving a driver of chief of Dnipropetrovsk region's Police Department Gen. Vitaliy Hluhoveria and patrol police officers who stopped the general's car for a traffic violation has gone viral in Ukraine in recent days. The video shows the cops acting according to protocol, set to file administrative charges against the general's driver who apparently violated traffic rules, while the latter tries to give the officers a not-so-concealed hint that the general's car cannot be stopped. Confronted with the fact that the cops stick to the law, the driver calls someone on his phone and soon, a "KORD" team (police SWAT unit), arrive at the scene and apprehend the "disobedient" patrol police officers at gunpoint.

The police officers were then brought to Hluhoveria's office for questioning. Sources say the incident took place in September last year but has been concealed by law enforcers since then until the bodycam video was leaked to mass media, Strana.ua reported.

Sounds like the driver was following orders. Being above the law? Works for Hillary and other RATs to big to jail.

Hey, the Ukraine is the country to go and elect an actor who portrayed the nation’s President for a TV show. All this stuff is basically scripted out now.
