Police officer's emotional message on treatment of law enforcement goes viral

♪ >> I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING AND KISS MY FAMILY GOODBYE KNOWING THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY I WON'T COME HOME. I AM TIRED OF EVERY TIME I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE POLARIZING THE FACT THAT MAYBE LAW ENFORCEMENT IS JUST NOT A GOOD THING. ALL OF US ARE NOT BAD. I AM NOT SAR. MOST OF US ARE NOT. THERE ARE BAD PEOPLE IN EVERY CAREER. I'M SO DAMN TIRED. TIRED. TIRED. STEVE AS YOU CAN SEE AN ATLANTA POLICE OFFICER PASSIONATELY VENTING HIS FRUSTRATION WITH THE NATIONAL CONVERSATION ABOUT POLICING AND THIS IS GOING VIRAL ON THE PLATFORM TIKTOK. AINSLEY: THE POST RACKING UP 1.7 MILLION VIEWS IN JUST THREE DAYS WITH THE MESSAGE THAT HE HOPES VIEWERS THAT YOU AT HOME WILL TAKE TO HEART. BRIAN: DO YOU KNOW WHAT? HE JOINS US NOW WITH MORE ON THIS. OPERATION COMMANDER FOR THE MORE HOUSE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY MAJOR KELVIN DINGELL. MAJOR, THANKS FOR JOINING US, WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO THAT POINT? >> OH, WOW. REALLY, ACTUALLY, IT'S JUST FULLNESS OF EVERYTHING. IT SEEMS LIKE NOW EVERY MORNING WE WAKE UP OR EVERY NIGHT WE GO TO SLEEP THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING NEGATIVELY THAT IS PORTRAYED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT. LAW ENFORCEMENT IS NOT A GOOD THING. LAW ENFORCEMENT IS NOT ACTUALLY, MY STORY IS SIMPLY THIS. I WAS RIDING HOME AND THINKING IN REGARDS TO EVERYTHING TOWP IT'S JUST DIFFERENT, DRIVE NEXT TO PEOPLE AND PEOPLE ARE FROWNING AT ME. PEOPLE ARE PURPOSEFULLY DOING THINGS TO GET MY ATTENTION. THEY ARE FLIPPING ME OFF. AGAIN, IT WAS NOT THAT WAY. DUOP THIS IS SOMETHING NEW. IT'S A NEW ATTITUDE AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S COMING FROM. CAN I SEE WHERE IT'S COMING FROM BUT ALL OF US ARE NOT BAD. ALL OF US ARE NOT BAD AT ALL. STEVE: OFFICER DINGLE, THEY ARE FROWNING AT YOU, THEY ARE FLIPPING YOU OFF AS YOU SAID, IT'S NOT BECAUSE YOU CUT THEM OFF IN TRAFFIC, IT'S BECAUSE YOU ARE A POLICE OFFICER. YOU ARE WEARING A UNIFORM YOU ARE DRIVING ARE A CANCHTS THAT IS CORRECT. THAT IS THE ONLY REASON WHY. >> IT'S REALLY HEART BREAKING TO ME WHEN I GOT IN LAW ENFORCEMENT 20 YEARS AGO. IT WAS NOT THAT WAY. LAST FEW YEARS OR SO LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS REALLY BEEN PUT OUT THERE AS SOMETHING NEGATIVE. AND WE'RE NOT. WE ACTUALLY TOOK AN TOYOTA PROTECT AND SERVE. DON'T GET ME WRONG IT IS IT WHAT IT IS. SOME PEOPLE MAKE BAD DECISIONS. THE MAJORITY OF US THAT PUT THE BADGE ON EVERY DAY. THE MAJORITY OF US THAT WANT TO PROTECT AND SERVE NOT JUST THE COMMUNITY BUT IN TRANSITS TO THE COMMUNITY WE DO POLICE. WE ARE TRULY GOOD HEARTED PEOPLE THAT WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, WE DO. THAT'S JUST MY STANDPOINT. THAT DAY I JUSTEN HONESTLY HAD ENOUGH. MY HEART WAS BROKEN BECAUSE OF THE THINGS THAT I SAW IN JUST TRAVELING HOME TO MY FAMILY AND IT WASN'T ALWAYS THAT WAY. IT USED TO BE HI. IT USED TO BE WAVES AND SMILES. USED TO BE SOMEBODY SALUTING YOU. THE LAST TIME I SAW A SALUTE AND I HAVE A MILITARY BACKGROUND, THAT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME. IT'S NOT HAPPENING NOW IT NEED TO CHANGE. AINSLEY: MAJOR DINGLE I KNOW WE CAN ALL GIVE YOU A SALUTE. WE ARE NOT ON CAMERA NOW. I SALUTE YOU AND STEVE AND BRIAN DO. WE LOVE YOU FOR EVERYTHING HAVE YOU DONE FOR US. DO MAKE MY DAUGHTER WALK UP TO POLICE OFFICERS AND WE BOTH TOGETHER THANK THEM BECAUSE WHEN WE ARE AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, YOU ARE THE ONES WE ARE GOING TO CALL THAT ARE GOING TO COME TO OUR DEFENSE AND POSSIBLY SAVE OUR LIVES. WE DID WANT TO GET YOUR REACTION FROM IN ONE VIDEO L.A. COUNTY SHERIFF DEPUTIES PUT THIS OUT BECAUSE THIS POLICE OFFICER SAYS NOT ONLY DOES HE HAVE HIS BODY CAMERA I HAVE VIDEO THAT HE WEARS BUT HE ALSO HAS PERSONAL FOOTAGE THAT HE WEARS TO PROTECT HIMSELF JUST BECAUSE OF THE. STEVE: LIABILITY. AINSLEY: LIABILITY OF EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR COUNTRY. HE PULLS THIS LADY OVER. HE SAYS FOR USING HER PHONE WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. AND THIS IS THE REACTION THAT HE GOT. LISTEN TO THIS. >> THE SPEED LIMIT IS 40 AND I WAS GOING 38 SO WHY ARE YOU HARASSING ME. >> YOU ARE CORRECT I PULLED YOU OVER. >> BECAUSE YOU ARE A MURDERER. >> DRIVING. >> I WAS RECORDING YOU BECAUSE YOU SCARED ME. I'M PERFECTLY LEGAL. AND I'M A TEACHER. SO THERE. >> CONGRATULATIONS. >> YOU ARE A MURDERER. >> I'M GOING TO CITE YOU FOR USING YOUR CELL PHONE WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING, THAT'S IT? >> FOR HIM BEING A MEXICAN RACIST? WHAT IS THAT NAME? HERE DID YOU GO MEXICAN RACIST. YOU ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE A MEXICAN. YOU WILL NEVER BE WHITE. YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT? AINSLEY: MAJOR BEGINNING DEL, WHAT'S YOUR REACTION? >> WOW. WOW. YOU SEE, THIS IS MY REACTION TO THAT. THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, SIMPLY THIS: IS THAT THAT IS MORE COMMON THAN Y'ALL COULD IMAGINE. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT IS IT NOT THE REVERSE IF YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT I'M A RACIST SIMPLY BECAUSE I MADE A PULLOVER LEGALLY A GOOD PULLOVER BECAUSE YOU ARE ON YOUR PHONE AND BREAKING THE LAW VERSUS WHAT YOU ARE TELLING ME I'M RACIST BUT NO YOU ARE RACIST FOR CALLING ME A RACIST? THIS HAS TO STOP. IT REALLY DOES. THAT OFFICER DID AND HE KEPT HIS COMPOSURE WHICH IS A GOOD THING BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE ARE TAUGHT TO BE PROFESSIONAL IN ALL SCENARIOS IN ALL CASES. >> WE DON'T DESERVE THAT. BRIAN: I 100 PERCENT AGREE. WHAT'S GOING TO CHANGE IT? WHAT CAN BEGIN TO CHANGE IT? THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE PERIODS WHERE POLICE OFFICERS AREN'T RESPECTED AND IT WILL JUST BOOMERANG AND GO BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS? WHAT WILL CHANGE? >> NO. NO. I DON'T SEE THIS GOING BACK TO THE WAY THAT IT WAS WITHOUT A CONVERSATION. THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT WE HAVE TWO SIDES. AND TWO SIDES NEED TO BE HEARD. BUT PEOPLE NEED TO LISTEN NOT TO RESPOND BUT LISTEN TO UNDERSTAND. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE. IF I'M JUST LISTENING TO A CONVERSATION FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE WITH THE COMMUNITIES OF AMERICA AND PEOPLE OF AMERICA HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT POLICE OFFICERS AND ALL I'M DOING IS WAITING FOR MY TURN TO SPEAK I JUST WAIT FOR MY TURN TO SUBPOENAING, NO. YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO UNDERSTAND THAT SIDE. AND IF YOU CAN DO THAT, I PROMISE YOU THERE IS A SOLUTION OUT THERE. IT IS WE JUST HAVE TO COMMUNICATE WHICH TO FIGHT IT. STEVE: NOBODY KNOWS MORE THAN WHAT IT'S LIKE OUT THERE ON THE FRONTLINES THAN YOU DO. MAJOR KELVIN DINGLE WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
