dailykos | A YouTube user named "basedboston" uploaded a video recorded on July 26,
2015 (date on video is wrong) which shows Medford, Massachusetts
Detective Stephen Lebert threatening to "blow a hole right through your
fucking head" after he stopped "basedboston" over a traffic citation.
The man had a dashcam in his car which records audio and video. He
says he misread road signs and inadvertently went the wrong direction on
a roundabout (or as they call them in the Boston-area, "rotaries").
Detective Lebert was not on duty and was wearing camouflage shorts and a
white tank top. He cuts off the man's vehicle and jumps out to confront
him. Having no idea the irate man was an off-duty police officer, the
man puts the car in reverse to get away from the officer, who had not
identified himself. Detective Lebert then threatens to "blow a hole
right through your fucking head" and eventually pulls out his police
identification.
Watch the terrifying confrontation (and the incredibly calm and professional reaction of other officers called to the scene):
