A deputy from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office received an earful of, dare we say it, racial abuse during a traffic stop. The deputy purchased his own body cam to protect himself during his working day. A good thing he did because he had no way of knowing that he would meet the Teacher of the Year. She was Black, and the deputy was Hispanic.
He stopped a woman for using her cell phone while driving. She started to rant as only a self-absorbed, entitled person can rant. I know that people don’t care for these traffic violations, but if it’s a sin for an officer to enforce them, he paid for that sin by having to deal with ‘Little Ms. Sunshine’.
This traffic stop reminds me of one that my partner and I had one night. The driver was White. Every other word out of his mouth was the ‘N’ word, and then ‘F’ bombs; “Why are you stopping me, you should be stopping all these-insert the ‘N’ word out here. His stupidity meter went from zero to a hundred. My partner wrote down his mastery of the English language on the judge’s copy of the cite without asterisks.
Our subject pled not guilty. A few weeks later, my partner gave me a call and said our subject’s trial would occur the following morning. He said why don’t you come to court to see what happens. The judge that had the traffic court duty that month was Black. I told him I would love to be there.
In our jurisdiction, the judge has a copy of the citation as well as a printout of the driver’s DMV history on the bench. It’s not a good idea to tell the judge you have a clean DMV record if that is not the case. I wrote a citation to a young man for running a stop sign. He told the judge he brought witnesses to testify to his innocence. The judge told him that he would like him to give his testimony first. He told the judge; “I rolled through the stop sign.” The judge replied; “You can stop now, you’re guilty.” What about my witnesses? The judge said we don’t need them, you admitted that you didn’t stop. Perry Mason is never around when you need him.
Cops sit in the back row of traffic court, and my partner told all of them about our foul-mouthed subject. When the all rise call went out and Judge Brown walked into the court we all looked at our subject. When he saw that Judge Brown was Black he started looking for a way out of that courtroom. When his name was called he stood in front Judge Brown and said he was changing his plea to guilty. The Judge asked him if was sure that he wanted to change his plea. He said yes your honor. Every cop in that room was sending a telepathic message to the judge; “Read your copy of the cite.” Alas, it was not to be. Our subject made the fastest exit out of a courtroom in the history of jurisprudence.
The moral of this story is that stupidity is a common feature of humanity and has nothing to do with race, color, or creed.

I’m still wondering about the part of her rant, “You’ll never be white”. HUH?
According to Fox, she’s made several complaints about “police harassment” before. What a fantastic role model for the children she supposedly teaches.
One of the problems with the radical activist outfit BLM is that, despite the fact that the organization is founded on dishonest claims about police conduct, it provides talking points for lazy and/or feeble minded people. And because it has a quasi-sacred status among so many normal people (who are likely ignorant of the fact that BLM is built on a lie and run by thugs), its false claims are assumed to be true. It’s like the “women earn less than men because of sexism” canard, so deeply entrenched that most people believe it.
College, of course, only makes it worse.
I can only wonder what this woman’s major was in college (if she is, indeed, a school teacher). I suspect that in California the bar isn’t very high for a career in “education”. Still, this individual seems to be well ahead in the race to the bottom.
Thanks for posting it, Doug.
I don’t like being pulled over. I check my lights before driving at night to make sure I don’t have any out, since that’s a quick way to get stopped. I never exceed the speed limit, always signal, etc. Before the anti-cop thing started I made no effort to talk to police, considering them my minor adversaries on the open road. But that’s changed now, because I think it’s important that the police not drift too far from the people they serve. And we aren’t making it easy for them.
Since the anti-cop movement began, I’ve made it a point to pull over and chat with officers whenever I see them idle. The response is always the same: they look a bit apprehensive when I roll up beside them, relax visibly when I tell them my son is a cop, and then get conversational when I ask them how they’re being treated, express support, etc.
My boy responded to an active shooter incident recently (with several other officers; no injuries). He had an armed man in the sights of his AR-15 when the man dropped his weapon and surrendered. My son has a heart of gold, and I don’t like to imagine him having to pull the trigger. But similarly, it breaks my heart just a little to imagine him having to deal with people like the woman in the video. There are creeps and jerks everywhere, of course, and we all run into them. Cops just get more of it, because it’s their job.
Why hasn’t this teacher been doxxed publicly, and summarily fired?
We need to burn the liberal hellholes down to the ground with their own techniques.
@henryracette it breaks my heart just a little to imagine him having to deal with people like the woman in the video.
As previously mentioned, my step son, whose tour with the Marines is set to end in a few weeks, wants to become a LEO. We pray he doesn’t. Not in this cop hating culture.
