*The Dallas County Sheriff’s Office in Texas is investigating a drag race last week between two of its deputies in their patrol vehicles.
Video of the race at Yello Belly Drag Strip in Grand Prairie surfaced online Thursday. Deputies in two patrol cars are seen racing, as a large crowd cheered and filmed on the sidelines. Some in the crowd described the race as a bonding experience between law enforcement and members of the community. “In the eyes of the public, we saw it as a sign on positivity, based on [what] we have going on in this country,” one participant told WFAA. “We don’t think it’ll be right if they got in trouble.”
A rep for the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office said the race was unsanctioned by administrators.
