Driver in custody,” the department posted alongside the video. “The job we have to do isn’t always pretty. It isn’t glamorous. It isn’t fun. It’s dangerous and it takes a toll on the men and women who do it. Talking with kids, talking with residents, helping people when they need it, that’s great. But the work in many of these videos, it sucks. But there’s a line that needs to be held and we agreed to do it. And we’ll continue to do it because the good citizens of our community like this deserve to be safe. Thanks for the fist bump sir, we got you.”
