Sounds fake. The type of officer who would do such a thing would never brag about it on Reddit because he would know this could result in him getting doxxed. Although a lot of police departments across the west are intentionally hiring idiots because idiots are more obedient, they still want their cops smarter than the average Redditor. Just so they don't end up hiring someone retarded enough to brag about his episodes where he abused his power to the wrong person. Police departments know that social media is being spied on. So they train cops to be careful on social media. This particular redditor would have been kicked out of police academy halfway through his course.
