Being a police officer is a very tough job and I have nothing but respect for them.

But apparently they make bad decisions on occasion because one police officer has found himself in very hot water after appearing in a Playboy model's Instagram video.

Officer William Beeker is the officer seen in a video that appeared on Francia James' Instagram video that shows him leading three women wearing lingerie away in handcuffs in front of the Miami Police Department.

According to the New York Daily News:

“Thank you, Officer Bill, for letting us go,” Francia James and two other lingerie-clad models, known as Maddy Belle and Julianne Kissinger online, said to Beeker in the video.

“No problem. Enjoy the community," Beeker responded from his Miami Beach Police Department ATV, "I like to protect and serve.”

Quotes from the Miami Herald, the police chief isn't happy.

“On Monday, October 7, the Department was made aware of a video posted to social media,” a spokesperson said in a statement to the Miami Herald. “Chief Richard Clements immediately launched an Internal Affairs investigation and placed Officer William Beeker in an administrative capacity while the investigation takes its course.”

Miami Beach Commissioner John Elizabeth Alemán also wasn't a fan of the video saying, "With as many challenges as we face as a community, how dare he? It’s a mockery of all of our public servants who strive to protect and bring dignity to our city. I’m saddened and angry.”
