Monticello Mayor shouting obscenities, accusing officer of being Klan member on night of DWI arrest

The Mayor of Monticello spent several hours in police custody last weekend after he was arrested for DWI. He has since plead not guilty to those charges. Friday we obtained surveillance video from the night Gordon Jenkins was held by the Monticello Police Department. YNN's Eva McKend has the exclusive report.

MONTICELLO, N.Y. -- "You still work for me, don't you," said Jenkins.

A firm warning from Monticello Mayor Gordon Jenkins to the Police Officers who arrested him last weekend.

"You are working overtime aren't you? I think you should be suspended because you are working overtime and you shouldn't. We'll figure that out tomorrow," said Jenkins.

During the several hours Jenkins was held after he was arrested for DWI and other charges, he shouted obscenities at Police Officers and referred to them as Nazi's and racists.

"They say you are the Klan, I believe it now. You are trying to lock every black mother****** in this ******* town. I believe all the f****** n****** and what they be talking about, about you. You lock my black a** up tonight. You got everybody else locked up," said Jenkins.

We're showing you just a small portion of video where we were able to remove the profanity.

The Mayor said he was illegally arrested and at one point said he felt like he was a having heart attack and needed medical attention. He also accused the officers of giving him welts from the handcuffs.

Throughout the ordeal, he maintained his innocence.

"You can give me ten years to life mother f******* You guys are going to pay for this. Mayor or no f****** mayor," said Jenkins.

There were accusations of racism throughout the entire ordeal.

Many of the Mayor's supporters including the ones that came out in full force Tuesday night continue to stand by him because they feel as though he has been unfairly targeted, a message the Mayor alluded to when he was under arrest.

"Maybe I should resign for Mayor and f****** be just a f****** Al Sharpton around here. Call Dennis Lynch, you know his f****** number. We're going to have an emergency board meeting tonight. I'm going to ask Rochelle to have an emergency board meeting," said Jenkins.

At several points, the Mayor accused officers of being insubordinate.

He said he has been trying to get the Attorney General to intervene.

His lawyer spoke on his behalf Friday after the Mayor's license was suspended.

"I know that the Mayor was very upset and has been upset by the treatment he's received from several police officers. I don't think it's everyone. I think the Mayor was aware there were contract negotiations beginning again this week and he felt that there might be motivation on the part of Police Officers to harass him and I think that's part of his story," said Michael Sussman.

Sussman says more will come to light the proceedings move forward.

The Mayor is due back in court next month.

Sorry sir, you are not above the law and we are not peasants to be spat upon.

He's just taking his cues from Obama and ignoring whatever laws he feels are in his way. Why should anyone obey the law if the Commander in Chief has no respect for it?

“...whoever said that is beyond an idiot...”

I believe a better re-phrasing is:

“You’ll get whatever government that you’re willing to put up with or unable to fight back against.”

Just like the fellow Holmes that passed away several years ago. He was honored by the NAACP and had several posthumous honors here in Mississippi. I had remembered that he’d been convicted of statutory rape twice and even today, if one were to research it you’d be lucky to find data confirming it. The MSM and NAACP had much of it erased.

Unfortunately, we’re witnessing just how much the country as a whole is willing to put up with.

It’s sickening to me.

It is to me also. And it is going to get a lot worse.

For example: 1.Where are the young who are going to pay for obamacare [such as it will be] for the old geezers until they can be done away with? 2.I saw a blurb the other day, I forget where I saw it because I did not read the article, that single family houses were harming the environment. What it actually was a subtle attack on the ownership of private property. Since most of the young worship the environment [whatever the hell that is] there will sooner or later, be a cry for the Government to take all privately owned real property. For the chillin of course.

I could go on and on, but I will stop with it is only going to get crazier and crazier. If you are under the age of 50 I feel sorry for you because you will catch the brunt of the good part. And I am not using "good" in a good way.

“...If you are under the age of 50 ...”

I’m not. But I understand your point.

“..here will sooner or later, be a cry for the Government to take all privately owned real property...”

And that, my friend, will precipitate a war the likes of which hasn’t been seen since 1861, and much worse.
