@Copwatchtv obtained body camera footage from a Surfside Police Department of a traffic stop involving the towns mayor.
Mayor Charles Burkett saw a friend being pulled over by the police and decided to stop to see what was going on. He inserted himself into the situation and was not happy with the demeanor of the officer.

This Mayor seems to think this town is his, and not the peoples. A serious attitude adjustment and/or firing needs to happen. Mr. Mayor, you are a child! "The mean man looked at me, mommy!" Leave the police officers alone, they don't belong to you.
What an A-Hole
The mayor is a pompous tool.
The krout haircut gave it away, dumb Jerry
It is your attitude that is 100% the problem
He's probably a nightmare H.O.A. board member too.
Entitled SOB, don't you think?
Attitude, the mayor is the one with the holier than though attitude. He should've got a ticket from parking in the street. Bottom line the so called mayor was way out of line. Good thing the officer was done because he could've sited the mayor for obstruction of an officers' duty. Surfside needs to rethink this guys' position of mayor.
weird power trip
That mayor is a frickin maroon.
Who voted him in??😳
Mayor of 5,000 people with quite the tyrannical streak!
😂
The epitome of Delusions of grandeur
An arrogant mayor who thinks he's king, who cares if he's your friend, you had no right to interfere with a traffic stop….
This mayor will go far in politics—future President material.
Yes, I know who you are. You're a person, like me.
When corruption is rampant, you'll hear many claims of higher status, everywhere.
Used as excuses.
I have news for you all.
There's no such thing as high status. Everything is the same for everyone.
Anyone who'd suggest otherwise to you is just about to trick you.
Tell the mayor to mind his own damn business
He’s a corrupt republican enough said. Keep electing these losers and that’s what you get.
Hahahaha what a complete loser this mayor is. May he be forced out of office ASAP.
Don’t approach an officer at a traffic stop, he needs a better job seems he wants attention awwweeee so sweet there friends, what are friends for chief.
What just happened???….
That mayor is a total maroon…
Maybe he'll go from mayor to HOA president next election.😅
Always with the “Do you know who I am?â€
The mayor panicked when he saw his drug dealer get pulled over.
What a typical politician. Useless p.o.s.
CAN U SAY…. toxic power trip from a little man w a title? I knew u could,,,,,,,, lol
The traffic stop was officially over at the time and the mayor had every legal right to check on one of his citizens of the city to make sure that his Police Department was doing everything OK.
