Spence Jr. recently posted a story, which was originally shared by Dallas Texas TV. The video showed a man getting out of a semi-truck and confronting a group of policemen.

Moreover, it was reported that the man was under the influence of a hallucinogenic drug called PCP or Angel Dust. And, it was said that he had stolen a truck, which he crashed, before stealing the semi-truck he was seen driving.

However, what set the video apart was that this buzzed individual did not even wince or back away while being tased and pepper sprayed by cops.

The man continued to walk towards the police unfazed until he was tackled down. Meanwhile, Spence Jr. was especially shocked to see the man unperturbed despite the cops’ best efforts.
