Even after he was taken to the police station, the Hollywood actor continued with his rant. LaBeouf went on to abuse the police officer’s wife which just didn’t feel right. His racist remarks just went on. Shia complained in the video that he was arrested because the police was racist and arrested him for being white. LaBeouf even threatened the police officer that we will call his millionaire lawyers and sue him.
