on Apr 22,2024 at about 5:30pm Sandra Doorly, the District Attorney in Rochester New York Was clocked at going 55mph in a 35mph zone. A Police Officer was behind her attempting to pull her over. He had his lights and siren on. She refused to stop. She continued to drive about a half mile to get to her house. She parks her car in her garage and attempts to go in her house. The police officer walks up her drive. She refuses to comply, and instead of talking or discussing the matter, she calls the Chief of Police who actually takes her call and her side. The officer doesnt back down. His supervisor and the Chief of Police all show up to the scene. The Body Cam footage was made available to the public and it has since went viral. Gov Hochul said she has reported the incident to the New York State Commission on Prosecutorial Conduct.
Now she is all sorry and apologetic.
A local group is trying to claim White Privilege. I dont see this happening because she is white. I see it because she is the DA. There is definitely a two tier justice system in this country. Had that been me, I would have been lucky to to have been shot, and spent the night in jail.
Her and the Police Cheif should be fired.
I would also argue that, with the notable exceptions of the “progressive DAs” that you guys always whine about like Chesa Boudin and Larry Krasner, the position of District Attorney is inherently conservative.
I saw the video of her speaking with the police officer in her garage after not stopping. Her sense of privilege and her attitude are completely unacceptable for a public servant and I’m not really interested in any self serving apologies after the fact when she realizes how bad she looks.
The term Authoritarianism is being diluted by using to describe far too many people.
Examples of Authoritarians: Putin, Xi, Orban, Kim Jong Un, Stalin, Mussolini…
Let’s keep perspective please.
Authoritarianism is a political system characterized by the rejection of democracy, civil liberties, and political plurality. It involves the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, and reductions in the rule of law, separation of powers, and democratic voting.
There are three kinds of people out there…one that wants to be part of ruling class, those that need to be ruled over and than there are people that want no part of either.
