‘I’m a f*****g American’: Shia LaBeouf’s drunken arrest meltdown caught on camera

NEW police video shows troubled star Shia LaBeouf’s racist, expletive-filled rant at cops as he’s arrested for public drunkenness.

WARNING: Graphic language.

NEW police video of Shia LaBeouf’s arrest in the US state of Georgia shows him screaming and hurling profanities at cops as he’s taken into custody.

“What did I do, sir?” LaBeouf asks an officer as he gets cuffed at his hotel in Savannah. “I have rights, I’m an American. You’ve got me in my hotel, arresting me in my hotel for doing what, sir?”

Over the weekend, the 31-year-old actor was arrested for public drunkenness, disorderly conduct and obstruction after someone allegedly refused to give him a cigarette.

Footage shows LaBeouf in the car getting more worked up as he starts screaming expletives at the arresting officer, The New York Post reports.

“No, we can’t talk,” the troubled Transformers star said. “Take these cuffs off. I’m a f–king American, I pay my taxes. Get these s–ts off my f–king arms … You’re going to put these s–ts off my arms or you’ll be f–king f–ked.”

The star — who has a troubled history with the law, starting at the early age of nine — then started ranting about President Donald Trump.

He is seen yelling from the back of the police car, “Who are you fighting for? You got a president who don’t give a s–t about you and you stuck in a police force that don’t give a f–k about you, so you want to arrest white people who give a f–k, who ask for cigarettes?

“I came up to you trying to be nice, you stupid b–h. I came up to you asking for a cigarette, you dumb f–k. Why would I ask for a cigarette if I was racist? You stupid b–h. I was asking for a cigarette, you said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘Word,’ and then you arrested me, you dumb f–k. They got cameras everywhere, you dummy. I got more millionaire lawyers than you know what to do with, you stupid b–h.”

According to a local news station that obtained the police report, LaBeouf “repeated multiple times that [the officer] was racist for arresting a fellow white man.”

Video shows LaBeouf later at the station repeatedly asking why he’s in custody.

The officer’s report of the incident states that while inside the jail’s pre-booking area, the actor “continued to attempt to struggle against the wall. Mr LaBeouf then began reaching on my gun belt and began pulling on my radio, while he was stating that he was grabbing my gun. I advised Mr LaBeouf that he was in fact grabbing my radio and not my firearm. My hand was placed on Mr LaBeouf’s right shoulder in an attempt to maintain control of him, it was at this point in time that Mr. LaBeouf leaned over and kissed my hand.”

LaBeouf was released after posting a $US7000 ($9200) bond.

A rep for LaBeouf didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

LaBeouf was in the Savannah area filming his new movie, The Peanut Butter Falcon.
