“Come On, Man”: Joe Lombardo Caught Name Dropping His Way Out of Ticket
In breaking police body cam footage, Joe Lombardo was caught using his position of power to get special treatment, saying “I’m Joe Lombardo” and “come on, man” after getting pulled over by a police officer. This new video is “going viral” as Nevadans are fed up with Lombardo demanding special treatment after breaking the law.
“As a former law enforcement officer, I’m outraged that Joe Lombardo thinks he’s above the law and dismissed a police officer just doing his job,” said Nevada State Democratic Party Chair Daniele Monroe-Moreno. “It’s clear that Lombardo’s ‘tough on crime’ approach doesn’t actually apply to him after he name dropped his way out of a traffic violation. Nevadans deserve to know if Lombardo thinks, because of his position, he should be able to avoid responsibility for breaking the law.”
