A video shared by TikTok user @mr_greenshots shows a uniformed police officer's hilarious encounter with his angry mother. The officer can be seen nervously approaching his house after his mother discovered he'd been chasing people during his night shift, proving that a mother's authority trumps any badge.

The footage captures the officer's reluctant entry as his mother waits at the door, armed with a stick.

Despite being an officer, he receives a light disciplinary tap, much to the amusement of the person recording. The mother then turns her attention to the cameraman, who quickly retreats.
