Two Texas Sheriff Deputies from Dallas County have a case to answer after being caught drag racing in Dodge Charger Pursuit patrol vehicles.

The Dallas County Sheriff’s Office says that the deputy’s participation in the race was not authorized. The office added that they only learned about the incident after the video of the race went viral.

While the sheriff’s office may not like the idea, those in attendance believe it will be wrong if the deputies are punished.

One participant said :

“We saw it as a sign on positivity, based on [what] we have going on in this country,”

“We don’t think it’ll be right if they got in trouble.”

The Dodge Charger is one of the fastest and most powerful cars in the world.

The two Dodge Charger Pursuit patrol vehicles are likely equipped with the standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 making 292 horsepower; or the more powerful 5.7-liter Hemi V8 that makes a more stout 370 hp.
