Have you ever wondered what happens when a New York District Attorney gets pulled over for speeding but decides to drive all the way home instead? Well, let me tell you, it’s not pretty. The respect is lost, the excuses start pouring in, and a lame apology video follows, promising ethics training as self-punishment.
Let’s be honest, nobody really believes she’s going to take ethics classes. It’s just a hollow claim to save face. And that’s okay! Just admit your mistake, own up to it, and move on. No need to blame it on stress or make empty promises. We all make mistakes, and the least we can do is acknowledge them.
But instead, she puts on a show, acting like she’s the only one dealing with stress. She claims she’ll take “ethics classes” as if that’s going to solve everything. It’s just unnecessary. A simple apology would have sufficed. We don’t need the theatrics of a Karen-clad clown show.
Naturally, people had a lot to say about her apology, and rightfully so. One Twitter user, posting on Unlimited L’s on X, shared their thoughts on the matter, saying:
JUST IN: NY Monroe County DA Sandra Doorley issues an apology after going viral for refusing to pull over for speeding and says she was dealing with ‘frightening medical concern’ and ‘work stress’ “If one of my assistant district attorneys had acted this way, I would’ve disciplined them. So I’m disciplining myself. I will take ethics training to remind myself that professionalism matters. I’ve been humbled by my own stupidity and I am fully to blame. I will make this right.”
Let’s quickly recap what happened when the New York DA drove away from the police and parked at home:
Instead of providing her ID, Doorley hands the officer her phone and claims that Dennis Kohlmeier is on the line. She then proceeds to walk into her garage and eventually makes her way into her house, refusing to come back outside at the officer’s request.
As the officer tries to reason with her, Doorley arrogantly says, “I understand the law better than you.” She continues to resist leaving the garage, even going back to her car to retrieve her badge to prove her position as the DA of Monroe County.
The officer, rightfully frustrated, tries to communicate that he’s just doing his job. Doorley’s response? “No, you’re being an [expletive].” Clearly, she believes her position grants her special privileges.
In the end, the officer tells her, “I understand that, but that doesn’t give you the right to go 55 in a 35.” To which Doorley callously replies, “I don’t really care. You know what? If you give me a traffic ticket, that’s fine. I’m the one who prosecutes it.”
Let’s hope that incidents like these serve as reminders that no one is above the law, regardless of their position or status. It’s a lesson we should all take to heart.
