TMZ has also learned that the Los Angeles County Sheriff's department had the initial report doctored to keep the real story under wraps.<br><br>TMZ has four pages of the original report prepared by the arresting officer in the case, L.A. County Sheriff's Deputy James Mee. According to the report, Gibson became agitated after he was stopped on Pacific Coast Highway and told he was to be detained for drunk driving Friday morning in Malibu. The actor began swearing uncontrollably. Gibson repeatedly said, "My life is f****d." Law enforcement sources say the deputy, worried that Gibson might become violent, told the actor that he was supposed to cuff him but would not, as long as Gibson cooperated. As the two stood next to the hood of the patrol car, the deputy asked Gibson to get inside. Deputy Mee then walked over to the passenger door and opened it. The report says Gibson then said, "I'm not going to get in your car," and bolted to his car. The deputy quickly subdued Gibson, cuffed him and put him inside the patrol car.<br><br>Once inside the car, a source directly connected with the case says Gibson began banging himself against the seat. The report says Gibson told the deputy, "You mother f****r. I'm going to f*** you." The report also says "Gibson almost continually [sic] threatened me saying he 'owns Malibu' and will spend all of his money to 'get even' with me."<br><br>The report says Gibson then launched into a barrage of anti-Semitic statements: "F*****g Jews... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Gibson then asked the deputy, "Are you a Jew?"<br><br>The deputy became alarmed as Gibson's tirade escalated, and called ahead for a sergeant to meet them when they arrived at the station. When they arrived, a sergeant began videotaping Gibson, who noticed the camera and then said, "What the f*** do you think you're doing?"<br><br>A law enforcement source says Gibson then noticed another female sergeant and yelled, "What do you think you're looking at, sugar tits?"<br><br>We're told Gibson took two blood alcohol tests, which were videotaped, and continued saying how "f****d" he was and how he was going to "f***" Deputy Mee.<br><br>Gibson was put in a cell with handcuffs on. He said he needed to urinate, and after a few minutes tried manipulating his hands to unzip his pants. Sources say Deputy Mee thought Gibson was going to urinate on the floor of the booking cell and asked someone to take Gibson to the bathroom.<br><br>After leaving the bathroom, Gibson then demanded to make a phone call. He was taken to a pay phone and, when he didn't get a dial tone, we're told Gibson threw the receiver against the phone. Deputy Mee then warned Gibson that if he damaged the phone he could be charged with felony vandalism. We're told Gibson was then asked, and refused, to sign the necessary paperwork and was thrown in a detox cell.<br><br>Deputy Mee then wrote an eight-page report detailing Gibson's rampage and comments. Sources say the sergeant on duty felt it was too "inflammatory." A lieutenant and captain then got involved and calls were made to Sheriff's headquarters. Sources say Mee was told Gibson's comments would incite a lot of "Jewish hatred," that the situation in Israel was "way too inflammatory." It was mentioned several times that Gibson, who wrote, directed, and produced 2004's "The Passion of the Christ," had incited "anti-Jewish sentiment" and "For a drunk driving arrest, is this really worth all that?"<br><br>We're told Deputy Mee was then ordered to write another report, leaving out the incendiary comments and conduct. Sources say Deputy Mee was told the sanitized report would eventually end up in the media and that he could write a supplemental report that contained the redacted information -- a report that would be locked in the watch commander's safe.<br><br>Initially, a Sheriff's official told TMZ the arrest occurred "without incident." On Friday night, Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore told TMZ: "The L.A. County Sheriff's Department investigation into the arrest of Mr. Gibson on suspicion of driving under the influence will be complete and will contain every factual piece of evidence. Nothing will be sanitized. There was absolutely no favoritism shown to this suspect or any other. When this file is presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney, it will contain everything. Nothing will be left out."<br><br>Gibson's rep Alan Nierob tells TMZ: "We are unaware of any of the information you mentioned in your email pertaining to a police report."<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.tmz.com/2006/07/28/gibsons-anti-semitic-tirade-alleged-cover-up/">www.tmz.com/</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

Holy F***! <p></p><i></i>

Not much to say about this..incident..but despite the fact that I don't care much for South Park, the episode he 'starred' in was one of the funniest things I remember seeing, ever..<br><br>Well, ok, this is pretty funny too. And before anyone crawls up my backside for saying that, I was in those shoes more than 15 years ago, so I can safely laugh at his misfortune.<br><br>It's a good thing no one was hurt, innocents as well as His Royally Bigotted Highness.. <p>____________________<br>Some are born to sweet delight, some are born to endless night.</p><i></i>

Sounds like just the kind of thing that'll get successfully swept under the carpet in Hollywood. Pity. <p></p><i></i>

<br><br> he should of said zionists. <p></p><i></i>

All the world's a stage<br>And all the men and women merely players.<br>Spin, spin.<br><br>Yours in collusion,<br><br>Mel.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Ever since Passion of the Christ, the Religious Reich has made this guy out to be a walking, talking saint. I'm effing sick of double standards for people in high places ('scuse the pun). Mel Gibson should be held accountable for his actions just like everyone else. Since he has the appropriate fixation, I say, CRUCIFY HIM! <p></p><i></i>

"Mel Gibson should be held accountable for his actions just like everyone else. Since he has the appropriate fixation, I say, CRUCIFY HIM!"<br><br>WoW -- That's an unexpected zinger coming from you, WL;<br><br>Even as over-the-top humour, that doesn't compute;<br><br>Mel's unpardonable 'sin'? -- The making of a graphic movie featuring historical realism (ie., the Roman punishment practice of scourging and crucifixion -- in the context of the Christ-story death). Whether one believes in Christ and his death at Roman hands, scourging and crucifixion ARE historical fact.<br><br>I never DID get the hostility directed at Gibson for his movie -- which I FINALLY saw on cable last week. I thought it far better than 90 percent of typical hollywood crapola.<br><br>And after all, it's not like Gibson INVENTED crucifixion or even endorses it.<br><br>Jeez;<br>Gibson's behavior here as a drunken loudmouthed lout is a far cry from far more serious crimes, such as assault or armed robbery, let alone institionalized war crimes etc.<br><br>Context is key, eh?<br>Starman <p></p><i></i>

Being a drunken loudmouth isn't a crime(actually public intoxication is, but big deal), but driving drunk at double the speed limit is DEFINATELY a crime.. <p>____________________<br>Some are born to sweet delight, some are born to endless night.</p><i></i>

I just typed a long response that got eaten by EZboard.<br><br>It's too hot and I'm too tired to do it all over again.<br><br>Short version: It was in poor taste. My apologies if I offended anyone's sensibilities.<br><br>For the record - I am a Mel Gibson fan. I just wonder if the police report is being sanitized because he made the Passion of the Christ or if it's because he is a famous actor/filmmaker.<br><br>If that doesn't make sense, it's okay. I don't really care why. <p></p><i></i>

It is rather strange that such a high profile celebrity should be caught up in such an incident at this particular time. <p></p><i></i>
