“I don’t want the press protecting our bullies either...”

I agree 100%. I hate bullies...and don’t react well to them. Funny...we demand a noose (or fitting punishment) for a Republican scofflaw. For Dems, doing something wrong is a resumé enhancer.

Well, at least he’s not in District 1, where I live. If he were, I’m sure Gaetz would kick his butt in the primary.

A verbal altercation with a teen, huh? A regular Greg Stillson is he (old reference)?

... if he had continued, "Good! The law applies to all. You are a fine officer. Where do I sign?"

An attitude like that would make him an excellent candidate for people who share his political preferences.

Even for those who don't entirely share his political view points.

People are sick of seeing the "better then you" class get away with stuff we get nailed for.

Someone who thinks the law should work without fear or favor is attractive even if you do not agree with them 100%.

I am reminded of the flight attendant, who has an unruly passenger who uses the same comment:

“Do you know who I am?”

She goes up & down the aisle, asking the passengers IF ANY OF THEM know who the guy is-—he doesn’t seem to know.....

True but I still don't want to be like them, You either. So we're in the right party.

Things worked out better for Stillson. Today’s teens are a different breed.

He KNOWS he is being filmed, even tells her to show the video to her supervisor so he can see how rude she is being.
This guy is unstable.

There’s no way to know but I get the feeling this joker has slapped several women in his lifetime.

Can’t imagine how many traffic stops begin with “Do you know who I am”..

AND the registration he later tried to present was noted by the second officer as being EXPIRED.

Been in Florida for tree days and am enjoying myself. I had lunch in downtown Sarasota and listened to a friend play some guitar at a waterside bar on Anna Maria Island afterwards. Nice day.

How bad could it be? She remained in office?
