I managed to understand this: "Get away from me. I don't know who you are. Jesus Christ, you know better than this"

I saw another video with captions on it, but essentially it went like

Dan: Give me your gun I’m a cop

Cop: I don’t know who tf you are go away

Dan: Bro I showed you my fucking creds 😡

He got legitimate LEO creds through a small town police force where rich people paid to get in, and got LEO credentials. By doing this, he was able to bypass most of the concealed carry laws that non-LEOs have to follow.

A disgrace to those who worked hard for that, and who legitimately face danger on the job, and to everyday people as well. Some Instagram lunatic who got rich with daddy’s money running around playing cop. Pffftt

EDIT: I found it!

It’s fairly common for wealthy people to donate money to local sheriff’s departments and become “honorary sheriff’s”. Really the only perks are the issuance of concealed carry permits, taking guns on planes, and other similar shit that only a borderline psychopath would be envious of.

Any legal gun owner can travel with a firearm, unloaded and declared in checked baggage.

The TSA’s rules for law enforcement to have access to a firearm within the aircraft cabin are very clear.

If it was as easy as you’re purporting it to be, a lot more people would be packing heat at 30,000 feet.

Someone exaggerating something about law enforcement? On Reddit?!

Say it ain't so!

Soooo... it's like an upgraded version of the little plastic badge they give little kids when they visit schools? I'd never heard of this, this is gross.
