It’s certainly possible that this guy is just a jerk on his own initiative; but it also wouldn’t be a total surprise if we are looking at the particular flavor of reactionary east coast irish-american still tinged by a practically tribal affiliation with the cops and their perceived interests going right back to the time when entering law enforcement was an important step into whiteness.
(edit: would it be excessively snide to note that DUI and leaving the scene of an accident does not suggest a strong commitment to the idea that all lives matter?)
