She could have simply handed over her ID, taken the ticket, and fought it later. That’s what a normal person would do. Her sense of entitlement was that she felt the normal rules didn’t apply to her and she could just blow the officer off because she’s a professor of cultural studies. Leftist academics all have a sense of entitlement, which is why they think they know better than ordinary people how they should live their lives.
I watched the video. The campus cop was out of line. A “normal” cop wouldn’t have escalated this to throwing her on the ground for jaywalking.
I don’t care what her job is or her political persuasion. That doesn’t change my opinion of this event.
