‘He will not divide us,’ has been the loud, relentless anti-Trump message all year from Hollywood star Shia LaBeouf.

It began on January 20th, the day of Donald Trump’s inauguration, when LaBeouf launched a livestream project.

He summed up the purpose of the exercise with these simple words: ‘We’re anti-division.’

Then he explained: ‘Open to all, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the participatory performance will be livestreamed continuously for four years, or the duration of the presidency. In this way, the mantra “HE WILL NOT DIVIDE US” acts as a show of resistance or insistence, opposition or optimism, guided by the spirit of each individual participant and the community.’

Shia LaBeouf, seen here in January, started an anti-Trump livestream to be 'anti-division' earlier this year

How touching, right?

How inspiring, right?

The very epitome, you might think, of a thoroughly decent, heartfelt, caring celebrity and concerned public citizen – right?

Wrong.

Today, shocking video surfaced of the same Shia LaBeouf screaming vile racist abuse at police officers during a drunken rant after he was arrested for disorderly conduct in Savannah, Georgia.

But now the true Shia has surfaced in police video from his recent arrest. Racist LaBeouf was busted on charges of public drunkenness after getting aggressive over a cigarette. His foul, racist tirades have led to a pathetic apology

First he tells a white officer: ‘F*** you b****. Hey, when you go home to your wife, what do you tell her at night? You know she watches porn, she probably watches the f***ing big boys and s***, like looking at black d***. Don’t you feel f***ed up being white about that. Don’t you feel like “f*** man, I ain’t got all the goods”? Don’t you feel like a white joke?’

That was ugly enough, but LaBeouf then snarls at a black officer: ‘You’re going to hell, straight to hell, bro. You especially…’

When challenged as to why he said that, he replies: ‘Because you’re a black man.’

The white cop replies, ‘that don’t mean he’s going to hell,’ to which LaBeouf spits: ‘It means a whole lot, bro.’

Not so touching, right?

Not so inspiring, right?

The very epitome, in fact, of an indecent, heartless, disgustingly hypocritical and staggeringly racist douchebag.

An irate actor Shia LaBeouf LaBeouf told the officer, who is African-American: 'you wanna arrest white people who give a f***, who ask for cigarettes?’

'You're a f***ing b****,' he tells a white officer, who smirks in response. 'You haven't done s*** for my country, you b****'

In a second video, obtained by MailOnline, at the moment of his arrest for disorderly behaviour in front of women and children, LaBeouf screams at police: ‘I got more millionaire lawyers than you know what to do with, you stupid b****. You’re about to meet my lawyer and you’ll feel like a stupid, slimy, w****. Enjoy your life, that’s your legacy you f***ing coward.’

Later, he threatens to shoot the same officers, saying if he had his gun, he’d ‘blow your s*** up’.

Once the footage emerged, LaBeouf issued a grovelling statement saying he was ‘deeply ashamed’ of his behaviour and blamed it, with pitiful predictability, on ‘addiction’.

This, of course, is the preferred excuse these days for all celebrities caught behaving badly.

He said: ‘My outright disrespect for authority is problematic to say the least and completely destructive to say the worst. It is a new low. I have been struggling with addiction publicly for far too long and I am actively taking steps toward securing my sobriety and hope I can be forgiven for my mistakes.’

This weasly load of old guff would be easier to stomach if LaBeouf hadn’t spent his entire adult life making similar ‘mistakes’.

In February, 2005, he was arrested by police in Los Angeles and charged with assault with a deadly weapon after threatening his neighbour by driving into his car.

In July, 2008, he was involved in a car crash in LA. Police smelled alcohol on his breath but he refused a breathalyser so he was arrested and later fined.

In 2011, he had a fight with a man at in an LA bar and was arrested.

In 2014, he was banned from a restaurant in LA for urinating on the wall.

The same year, he was charged with disorderly conduct and criminal trespass after screaming at a theatre in New York and spitting at police officers.

In 2015, he was arrested for public intoxication in Texas.

This is hardly Shia's first brush with the law. He's urinated in public, gotten in bar fights, reeked of alcohol during a car crash and been accused of assaulting a neighbor

In January this year, he was arrested for misdemeanour assault and harassment after getting into a scuffle at an anti-Trump rally.

In April, he was kicked out of a LA bowling alley after branding a barman a ‘f***ing racist’ when he wouldn’t serve him chips. Video emerged showing him shouting at the man and threatening to hit him with a bottle of vodka.

Then, of course, there was the reprehensible incident two years ago when he absurdly and offensively claimed to have been raped by a woman at another ‘performance art’ stunt where he sat on a chair and invited fans to do whatever they wanted to him.

So the charge sheet of ‘mistakes’ against Mr LaBeouf is long and unedifying.

I’m not buying his addiction defence, either.

He’s proven himself to be just as unpleasant when he’s sober as when he’s drunk.

In short, LaBeouf’s a nasty piece of work that holds down an incredibly privileged job as a multi-millionaire actor but rather than feel grateful, acts like a perpetually spoiled brat.

I think the time for forgiveness is long gone.

Hollywood is very quick to hurl indignant outrage at President Trump for what they perceive as his coarse behaviour.

Yet here is one of its ‘finest’ behaving in a manner that makes Trump look like a choirboy.

If the President had done what LaBeouf did, the liberal world would furiously demand immediate impeachment.

I see no valid reason why a political activist actor who has spent the year protesting at the President should not now be held to the same level of accountability for HIS conduct.

LaBeouf should be instantly fired from every movie project he is currently working on, and not employed again until there is clear evidence that he has learned his lessons and is a changed man. That, judging by his antics for the past 12 years, could be a long wait.

I have another idea, too.

LaBeouf has exposed himself as the worst kind of anti-Trump liberal celebrity snowflake; the type that constantly screams and shouts about how awful the President is without any self-awareness that they themselves are way more abhorrent.

To use his own abuse back at him, he’s a ‘stupid, slimy, ‘f***ing coward.’

So I hope everyone today joins me in supporting my new 24-hour ‘performance art’ livestream.

It will feature the video of LaBeouf’s racist anti-police diatribe on a repeat loop, and overlaying it will be the words: ‘He will not divide us.’
