She's a DA in New York State. She wouldn't pull over for a traffic violation and she drove all the way home as the cop followed her.

Doorley belligerent in traffic stop video, berating officer that she was the DA and didn't care | WXXI News

District Attorney Sandra Doorley repeatedly ignored officer commands when stopped for speeding in Webster this week — telling them she was the DA, didn’t care about the reason for the stop and that they should leave, footage released by the Town of Webster shows.

“I am the DA of Monroe County,” she told the officer at one point in the interaction captured by the officer’s body worn camera. “...I don’t really care. You know what, if you give me a traffic ticket, that’s fine. I’m the one that prosecutes it, OK? Just go ahead and do it. Go ahead. Go ahead.”

    Why don't Americans simply send people like this to the countryside and work among the peasant proletariat as recompense/rehabilitation?

    Are they stupid??

    Doing this should be one of the few things that gets you locked up for a long time

      i know about harsher penalties not stopping petty crime that's caused by poverty, but i wonder if it would stop this kind of power trip breach of the public trust kinda shit that pigs and public officials do?

        Exactly. The other part is that there's no question whether they did or not, as opposed to some fucking pig who is literally incentivized to make arrests saying he saw someone do something

    ACAB applies to this guy too but now I wonder if they're gonna find a way to push him out of the job somehow.
    If he doesn't become an ex officer or at the very least transfers over to a precinct in another county in the next year or two I'll be pretty surprised.

    But she’s right — there’s some articles on this yada yada and nothing will happen to her right?

    Is there a legal reason she's so adamant about not going to the back of the vehicle and staying firmly inside her house? Seems like she has a reason for doing it.

    we pretend we're a country

    In linguistics, clusivity[1] is a grammatical distinction between inclusive and exclusive first-person pronouns and verbal morphology, also called inclusive "we" and exclusive "we". Inclusive "we" specifically includes the addressee, while exclusive "we" specifically excludes the addressee; in other words, two (or more) words that both translate to "we", one meaning "you and I, and possibly someone else", the other meaning "me and some other person or persons, but not you". While imagining that this sort of distinction could be made in other persons (particularly the second) is straightforward, in fact the existence of second-person clusivity (you vs. you and they) in natural languages is controversial and not well attested.[2] While clusivity is not a feature of standard English language, it is found in many languages around the world.

        All the English-derived creole languages of Melanesia have clusivity in a really nice way. They inspired how my conlang handles clusivity, and are an interesting look at what the future daughter languages of English might look like when empire falls and this tongue goes the way of Latin. I only learned about these languages' clusivity because Vanuatu's national anthem is called what else but "Yumi, Yumi, Yumi".

        Key:

        • mi = me
        • yumi/iumi/yum = you (and) me
        • tu = two
        • tri = three
        • pela/fala/pla = fellow

          Apparently just I or me. Although all the examples I can find never have it being used on its own.

          This is a great site for this sort of stuff.

            Yeah, ik some chars dont have a standalone meaning, but I've also never seen 们 used with a character that doesn't stand on its own. 咱俩 seems useful in some situations over 我们 or 咱们.

            This site is dope. Bookmarked. Thank you!

    On one hand, fuck her for her elitist attitude and clearly trying to live the American dream of being above the law... On the other hand she's fucking with a pig, and I feel like that American dream wouldn't be so prominent if policing wasn't a draconian military occupation....
