MARIO COPS CAN SHOW RESTRAINT ... BUT MOST JUST DON’T

Mario says police can exercise restraint when they want to, but most cops just don’t, a lesson he’s already learned first hand. The singer joined “TMZ Live” on Thursday and recounted his recent run-in with police in Miami, when guns were drawn and an intense standoff was diffused only when an officer realised he was a celeb. Mario says he was caught off guard when police stopped the car he was riding in and held him and the driver at gunpoint. He says he was very lucky one cop recognised him because things could have turned ugly in a hurry.
