LOLz!
Unfortunately for all of us, we won’t get to laugh further over the footage of the interaction. The Sag Harbor Police Department is ruining the fun and won’t release the body cam footage from the arrest while the investigation is ongoing. Ugh. Everyone will just have to be satisfied with the memes for now! What were YOUR reactions to this hilarious interaction, Perezcious readers? Drop ’em in the comments!
