Hannibal Buress Discusses His Miami Arrest with Joe Rogan

Yeah, so I'm a... We worked hard on it, man. It's one, just because of the situation with the false arrest, it's really... It's super personal, because I kind of had to keep living that story every time I told it, and then live it in the edit, and it's... It was just a funny situation, too. You're drunk, and this guy is arresting you for going back into a bar? I didn't... So it wasn't that bar. I hadn't been in that bar. You went to a different bar. I went to the bar after we spoke. I went into the bar, but he was still... He was upset about what I said, so he follows me into the bar. But then, you know, they cut it on their body cam footage. They cut it to make me look crazy. He really left his post and followed me to be on bullshit. So... Yeah, we probably... Does he wind up getting fired? I don't know. I think he's still on the force. For now. That's abusive. Yeah, that's the... It's a lot of... It's a lot of emotion and ego. Emotion. A lot of ego-based policing on the super petty side, you know? Where there's obviously the issues on the extreme with the killings. That was terrible. But then, there's a lot of motherfuckers that are ruining lives with petty arrests because somebody got to go... they got to miss work or something. Or some... Oh, some... You don't... Motherfuckers get mad because they got looked at the wrong way. Yup. And then people got to go... So, it's a lot... A cop should be able to handle somebody talking a little shit to them drunk. You're a cop in Miami. You should be used to motherfucker talking a little drunk shit to you without you putting the cops on them. And if you can't, you shouldn't be a cop. You shouldn't. You're supposed to be better than us. Yes. Because it's less of you. You should be better than us. You should have the mental fortitude and not freak out because somebody says some shit that you don't like. And you have extreme responsibility. You have a gun on your hip in front of everybody. It's not like whether or not I don't know you have a gun or you might have a gun. No, you definitely have a gun. It's right there. And you're allowed to shoot people. You're allowed to. It's part of your job. You're trained to shoot people. It's part of your job. You have to be elevated. You have to be above normal discourse. You have to be able to handle all kinds of shit. And the reality is that's not the case with most people that are police officers. Yeah, man. Even that cop, I was walking away from him, but I was just talking a little shit because he just followed me into a bar. And so I'm walking away. And so that shit was really, you know, I say is absolutely instigated that situation, but it wasn't an arrestable thing. And the cost I had to pay for that is pretty high as far as my public shit on there just for a drunk night, just for talking some shit. And I'm on TMZ. I lost some corporate gig because of that because they just saw it and then, oh, you got arrested. They just wiped the gig. It was a decent paying, you know, it was a it was a hockey Hannibal type of gig. In that race. So it was a it was it was a rough. It was a rough little time, man, that after that soda to finally kind of get the piece out, get the special out, even just putting it out Friday, like a huge weight, like none of the other specials because it was the other specials kind of done on a two year clock to and they would kind of and this one filmed it twice out of pocket. So super. Yeah. So many other elements that made it really heavy. And that's that's close with that. Yeah. Had to close it. And that's why through a covid party. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry about the party. I just I just needed to blow off some steam. Those mushrooms let you know if you fucked up to. Oh, man. I would let you know it. I don't drag you. They would drag you to the darkest part of your imagination. Yeah, man. It was like, oh, set and setting is everything super important. That's why they say silent darkness is the way to go. Set is setting at a covid party. Yeah. I mushrooms thinking you killed everybody. I think you go to some funerals. You looking at people vibing out here like, what did I do? This is all me. This is me. I did this. OK.
