So, to recap: Professed educator (and by implication, lofty moral being) endangers other road users by faffing about with her phone while driving. Then, when stopped on account of this behaviour, doesn’t have her license, and immediately and repeatedly accuses the police officer of being a murderer, before indulging in a gleefully racist outpouring.
Much of her behaviour seems intended to provoke – perhaps with an eye to the glories of victimhood.
Again, quality hire.

I’d love to see her “defense” in traffic court. Especially if the judge is Hispanic.
But I think public shaming is needed. That woman is quite willing to record the murderous deputy, so should she not accept the same? Show her face and show her name. Clearly she believes her actions are justified so what’s the harm in allowing her to find out other people’s reactions from a different camera angle?

Two questions or clarifications.
So much of the video is blurred out that there isn’t much to see. But from an unblurred glimpse of the arm and the hand, it seems to me that the driver is black. Is that correct and taken for granted? Or is the story going to get amalgamated into the Karen category?
When the Fox News heading says that the driver is mocking the Hispanic ethnicity of the police officer, this isn’t correct. Her mental association is (i) cops => murderous intentions, (ii) murderous intentions => white, (iii) Hispanic cop => trying to win approval from whites by murdering blacks. The insult against the cop is personal, but the ethnic slur (and it’s a severe one) is against whites. It looks like maybe she thought the cop was white until she saw his name on the ticket because that was when the language switched from murderer to “you’ll never be white”.
And by the way, if the cop was white and she was only insulting him for belonging to a race of murderers, would that have made it to Fox News? Or is it only on Fox News because a black lady teacher pulling intersectional (not to mention class) rank on Hispanic cop shows that Dems R the real racists?

As usual, I am mostly sorry for the poor child who is being raised by an essentially psychotic, manipulative mother. The woman takes a simple traffic stop encounter and tries to gaslight it into death threats. But I am puzzled by her end game. Are her peers going to look at the video, from whatever angle, and agree that she was being threatened with death or any violence whatsoever ? In what alternate reality does she come out as a victim ?

Much of her behaviour seems intended to provoke – perhaps with an eye to the glories of victimhood.
If she can provoke someone into losing their temper, even a little bit, then she can post that tiny part of the video on YouTube to “prove” that white people are racists. And in the meantime she has the satisfaction of having made a decent white person’s life just a little more unpleasant. What’s more, there rarely any social consequences for a black person being caught in racist behavior.
Further on the Basecamp meltdown.
Again, the dogmatism and posturing are so contrived, so removed from normal proprieties and reciprocal expectations, that attempts at honest discussion seem largely futile. Certainly unrewarding.
[ Added: ] As we’ve seen many times, woke psychology appeals to a person’s vanity, and its practitioners are usually very status-conscious and largely driven by in-group social positioning. The dynamic is therefore competitive, and therefore self-ratcheting, and therefore prone to dogmatism, extremism and breathless fantasy. It isn’t clear what any upper limit might be, and devotees do not appear to be impeded by embarrassment or ludicrousness.

Yes she does, in the alternate reality of black ghetto culture. You can find plenty of black ghetto goblins who will be outraged when an innocent white victim shoots a black attacker, because in their minds blacks are entitled to do any evil thing that they wish. Yes, black ghetto culture is really that depraved.
In what alternate reality does she come out as a victim ?
In this reality. The one ruled by lawyers and their threats. Also what pst said…but it bears repeating. Again and again and again, the existing reality is not based on logic or reason or accountability. We lost that quite a while ago. We cannot get it back until we realize how far it has gone.

Buried lede: San Dimas station doesn’t have official bodycams yet, the deputy tells me he invested in his own personal cam to protect himself on the job.
It amuses me that anti-police activists agitated so loudly for police bodycams with unaltered footage, and yet all that’s done is demonstrate that most of these interactions with police are entirely instigated and escalated by the perps.
all that’s done is demonstrate that most of these interactions with police are entirely instigated and escalated by the perps.
One of my lingering memories of the reality show Cops – for a year or so, a guilty pleasure – was just how often the interaction was driven south by the needless belligerence of the person being stopped. Often with minor incidents suddenly escalating in ways that were almost farcical. That, and that certain demographics seem rather more prone to belligerence than others.
And then there are the smug, preening leftists whose advice, if taken seriously, seems all but guaranteed to degrade any such interaction, perhaps disastrously. As when Salon’s Scott Eric Kaufman told his equally smug leftist readers that young black men “shouldn’t have to” comply with lawful instructions from the police under any circumstances. Mr Kaufman, a white man, dismissed any cooperation with the police as being “servile,” presumably on grounds that being by default combative and physical will improve the situation no end.
He being at a safe distance, of course, and far removed from obvious consequences.

People whose lives are consumed with finding microaggressions and milking the gravy train to make it pay do not know how to behave in a dignified manner. For all we know, “behaving in a dignified manner” is a sign of white supremacy, a marker of colonization, and something that must be disrupted and decolonized toot sweet.

If true, I wouldn’t blame him. If Minneapolis is any indication, the moment some video goes viral, the cop involved better brace for the bus crunching over him. The feckless middle management types that run the police departments around the West are more than happy to acquiesce to the mob. It wouldn’t at all be surprising then if exculpatory evidence from a bodycam happens to experience a “technical glitch that prevented recording” when the riots have already been raging for days. Having a personal backup is prudent.
