Cop cursed out ‘King of Instagram’ during Vegas massacre
“King of Instagram” Dan Bilzerian begged a cop for his gun during the Las Vegas massacre, and the officer told him to “get the f–k away.”
The millionaire gambler asks for a weapon while viewers hear gunshots ring out overhead.
Bilzerian, best known for posting snaps of himself with a harem of scantily clad women on Instagram, was criticized for allegedly running from the carnage without helping the injured.
As many as 59 people were killed and more than 500 injured when warped killer Stephen Paddock, 64, opened fire on a music concert from the window of his hotel room at the Mandalay Bay resort.
But new footage emerged apparently showing the muscled social media star running toward the gunfire.
He is seen ducking behind a concrete post while a hail of gunfire rains down on the crowd.
But the millionaire’s heroics are short-lived.
Bilzerian, 36, had asked the cop for a weapon to try to fend off the attacker — even showing his gun license.
The officer responds: “No, get the f–k away from me right now.”
“I don’t know who the f–k you are,” the cop screams, adding: “You know better than that.”
Warning: Graphic language
Original footage posted by Bilzerian on Sunday night appears to show him running from the crowd.
He later insisted he was “heading back” to the bloodbath after seeing a girl get “shot in the face right next to me.”

Dakota Meyer, the husband of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol, had earlier slammed Bilzerian for fleeing the scene.
Meyer, who served in Afghanistan as a Marine, wrote on Instagram: “This is why children shouldn’t classify heroes by their followers or their photos.”
“@danbilzerian this is what kills me about people like you. Always playing ‘operator dress up’ and so so tough when the cameras are on.”
“A woman just got shot in the head and you are running away filming that’s not what operators do. Please stop trying to be someone your not.”
“People are dying, you’re running away not helping them and pretending it’s worthy of a video is disgusting.”
