00:00Lynn, police officer on leave after becoming suddenly incapacitated while on duty.
00:06He had all four burners, the oven and the boiler going.
00:09He was cooking.
00:10Look at him.
00:11Look at him.
00:13Look at him.
00:14High as fuck.
00:16How is his?
00:16High as fucking on job.
00:18Can I come and deal with shit?
00:20No, no, no.
00:21Like I told you, you're coming off a double and you're out of the bad back.
00:23Yeah.
00:24It's all right.
00:26Yep.
00:26Call your sergeant right now.
00:28Call your sergeant.
00:29Call your sergeant.
00:31Call your sergeant.
00:32I want your sergeant here.
00:34I have my rights to call a sergeant here.
00:36So call your sergeant right now.
00:38All right.
00:38We're going to call your sergeant.
00:39What's your name?
00:41What's your name?
00:42What's your name?
00:43They are protecting him.
00:45What's your name?
00:45What's my name?
00:46Officer Sapinski.
00:47Man, oh man.
00:48If looks could kill, they wanted to disappear that guy because a bullet is always the answer
00:54for people who you're not patient enough to deal with.
00:56Isn't it, officer?
00:57I mean, who does he think he is chirping off at us while my partner stands off to the side,
01:04hanging on to that imaginary cliff for dear life?
01:07Big man was especially irate because he knows when the sergeant pulls up and finds out that
01:12he's been basically chauffeuring around his partner while he's in that condition.
01:16That's going to be his ass, too.
01:18A Lynn police officer was placed on leave Friday amid an investigation into a video that appears to show him incapacitated during a traffic stop.
01:28The unnamed officer became suddenly incapacitated, which is a very sweet way to put it,
01:34while on a call, which the department said appeared to be a medical episode.
01:39All potential contributing factors are being thoroughly examined as part of the ongoing investigation.
01:45Lynn police wrote in a statement on Facebook.
01:48In accordance with department policy, the officer has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome.
01:54Let's be honest with each other, because not being able to perform your job because you're too high is a medical condition.
02:01Being incoherent, being off balance, not being aware of your surroundings, all off point.
02:06Those are all medical conditions.
02:08He should not be at work.
02:10If the dookie hits the fan and he can't defend himself or his partner, he's a liability.
02:16No, no, this motherfucker's high.
02:18Look at him.
02:19No, I'm going to lose your job, motherfucker.
02:22Going to lose your job.
02:24Going to lose your job, motherfucker.
02:26Look at him.
02:27Look at him.
02:28Going to lose his job.
02:29Going to lose his job.
02:31The drug motherfucker coming to the job trying to, trying to caress.
02:36Me?
02:36Yup.
02:37Look at him.
02:38Call your sergeant.
02:39Call your sergeant.
02:40Yeah.
02:41Trying to protect his boyfriend.
02:42The department does not typically comment on ongoing investigations, Lynn police said, but wanted to address public concern.
02:50Based on evidence collected to date, including a review of body-worn camera footage and consultation with medical professionals,
02:58it appears the officer experienced a medical-related episode.
03:03That doesn't explain or explain away anything because you can have a medical-related episode from eating something that you're allergic to.
03:10You can also have a medical-related episode from abusing drugs.
03:14It's all under that huge umbrella of medical-related episodes.
03:18The video circulating on multiple platforms.
03:21Shout-out to the fax dude on X who bought us this video crystal clear with no rain bet, no crazy watermarks in its entirety.
03:30Appreciate you.
03:31Shows the officer not responding to questions, blinking slowly, and struggling to stand.
03:37Two other officers at the scene speak to the individual recording who repeatedly accuses the officer of being affected by drugs or alcohol.
03:45Like I told you, he's coming off a double and he's got a bad back.
03:49When you tell me that you have a bad back and you look like that, the first thing I'm going to think is he's popping pain pills.
03:55One of the officers tells the individual recording who tells them to call their supervisor.
04:00Smart move.
04:01I want your sergeant here.
04:02The individual recording says, now if you watch the video, big man at first says, we're not doing that.
04:08But the other cop says, yeah, we're going to get the serge.
04:10He then asked the officer his name.
04:13The officer does not answer.
04:15Then stumbles, says he's not high.
04:17Now, if it was just a passing guess that he might be under the influence, it was definitely confirmed when he opened his mouth and is led away.
04:25According to the video, which includes expletives.
04:28Of course, I love to hear your thoughts on this.
04:30I love to hear your opinions on this.
04:33If you're this man's partner, you've been riding around with him all day.
04:36You know what he's on.
04:38If he was having a diabetic situation, if he was having flu-like symptoms, if he ate something that didn't agree with him, you would have came out and said that up front confidently.
04:48So, yes, I think he is high in this video.
04:50And you're lucky all that dude did was just talk crazy to you because your partner would be no good in a shootout.
