0:02
Now the new developments in the death Leau Spaws shooting.
0:04
Rampage man yesday. It was a really bad day for him and this
0:06
is what he did.
0:07
And so we are in a state
0:09
of emergency.
0:11
Okay, white supremacist violence, it is always
0:13
have been the number one threat to our society.
0:16
But I'm also very proud that my wife
0:18
was white.
0:20
The practice club, bitches Surning,
0:22
please tell me why was I your.
0:24
Donkey of the day. Well, donkey today
0:26
from Monday, April twenty ninth goes to a prosecutor
0:29
named Sandra Dowley. Sandra is a district
0:31
attorney in upstate New York who refused to
0:33
stop for cops when she was called speeding.
0:36
She didn't just refuse to stop for the police.
0:38
Nah, nah nah.
0:39
She drove back to her house and called
0:41
the police chief to complain about
0:43
the ass dig a hole officer
0:46
who pursued our home. Okay, The reason I
0:48
put digger in the middle is you can't say ass
0:51
and hole together on the radio.
0:53
They must be separated.
0:54
But Sandra was doing fifty five and
0:56
a thirty five when the cops got behind her. But
0:58
she was less than a half mile from her neighborhood,
1:01
so she figured a Tom the DA
1:03
why stop? So she didn't and this is
1:05
how things unfolded. Let's go to WHAMABC
1:07
thirteen for the report.
1:08
Police.
1:09
You know what I've been dealing with all day? Three
1:11
murders in the city.
1:12
And do you think I really care if I was going twenty miles
1:14
over the speed limit? Just before five
1:16
forty five pm on Monday, a
1:19
police officer tries to pull over a black
1:21
SUV for speeding on Phillips Road
1:24
in Webster. The driver, Monroe
1:26
County District Attorney Sandra Doorley,
1:28
confronts the officer on the.
1:30
DA, I was going fifty five coming
1:32
on from fifty five and thirty five.
1:35
The district attorney proceeds to call the
1:37
Webster Chief of Police and then hands
1:39
the phone to the officer.
1:40
Hello, sir, good, ma'am. Can you
1:42
please stay at the back. This is a ma'am,
1:45
This is legal traffic stop. Can you please
1:47
stay over here?
1:48
Sir?
1:49
I stopped her for going fifty five and a thirty five
1:51
on Phillips Roads. Man, do not go inside.
1:55
Oh my god, ma'am.
1:56
Come outside. You can't just go inside. This is a
1:58
traffic stop. Here's your phone, I
2:00
understand.
2:02
Minutes later, the original officer
2:04
can be seen printing the tickets.
2:07
All right, man, so I'm missioning
2:10
you speeda in the zone.
2:13
I'll take care of this since I'll be prosecuting myself.
2:16
Pull over that ass too, flat Listen.
2:18
Privilege power, okay, not
2:21
just white privilege, not just white power, the
2:23
privilege of positions. Sandra believed, since
2:25
she was DA and that she knew the police chief,
2:27
that she had more power than the actual officers
2:29
attempting to arrest her. And you know, I can't
2:32
say that she's wrong, Okay. When you have the combination
2:34
of white privilege and the position of power as a DA,
2:37
all right, you quickly realize that all
2:39
systems are.
2:40
Not created and equal.
2:42
Okay.
2:42
There is law in order for us regular dear folk,
2:44
and then there's law and order for people like Sondra Doorley.
2:47
And Sondra knows that.
2:48
Sondra said, and I quote, I believe
2:50
in accepting responsibility for my actions
2:52
and had no intention of using my position to receive
2:54
a benefit.
2:55
So why the hell you called a police chief, Sondra? Okay?
2:57
Why did you call a police chief and tell the police chief to
2:59
tell the officers to leave you alone, to.
3:01
Tough the officers to stand down. All right. See, here's
3:03
the thing.
3:04
These laws in America, these systems are not designed
3:06
to prosecute folks like Sandra Doorley.
3:07
And she knows that, okay.
3:09
In fact, police officers don't even react
3:11
to folks like Sandra Doorley the same number one,
3:13
she's a white woman. The restraint
3:15
shown for Soandra Dorley to grace given the
3:17
Sondra Dorley is because she has the complexion
3:19
for the protection. I truly believe that when it's
3:22
a white woman, white police officers see their mothers
3:24
and their sisters, their aunts.
3:26
That significant others, so they are very lenient.
3:28
And then when you find out this white woman is a district attorney
3:31
who can get your boss on the phone, the chief of police,
3:33
forget about it. They don't even know how to
3:35
hold this woman accountable. When you watch the whole
3:37
raw video, one of the officers tells the other officers,
3:40
well, I can't tell you what to do on your traffic stop.
3:42
This is your traffic stock, all right.
3:44
These systems they created are to keep us
3:47
in line, not them.
3:48
Now, Sandra said in a statement after the footage
3:50
was released.
3:51
Of course, after
3:53
the footage was released, she says, nobody,
3:55
including your DA is above the rule of law,
3:57
even traffic laws. But time and time again
4:00
we realize in this country that that's simply
4:02
not true. Depending on who
4:04
you are, depending on who you know, depending
4:06
on who knows you, then you are absolutely above
4:09
the law in some way, shape or form. Because
4:11
everything about this scenario with Sondra
4:13
Dawley would have been handled differently if
4:15
she wasn't.
4:16
Who she was. Okay, even
4:19
if she was who.
4:19
She was as a district attorney, I think that they would have been handled
4:22
different if it was a black a brown person.
4:24
Okay, a black a brown person who don't stop
4:26
for police who pulls up to their house wouldn't
4:28
even have been allowed to get out their car without
4:30
at least having guns drawn on them.
4:33
But when you get out your car and don't
4:35
even listen to their commands and still go on your house,
4:37
oh my god, let me hear how it would have sounded
4:39
if this was a black person.
4:41
Let me hear it.
4:41
Oh and by the way, the audio you're about to hear is
4:43
triggering, but we need to be triggered.
4:45
Let's hear it all units, All
4:47
units be aware of a high school chans. We
4:49
have a black woman.
4:50
She's five five, brown eyes, detictizes
4:53
nappy hair, goes by Lawanda allenj
4:55
Washington.
4:56
It looks like she's stopping on MLK Boulevard.
4:59
Get out the car, Get
5:01
out of the car.
5:03
Hey, listen, if you make
5:05
don't leave me though, dy
5:16
please give Sondra Dley the biggest he hull.
5:22
And y'all know that's how it would how it would have went
5:25
if she was black and bro not even closer.
5:27
You know that. I said I
5:31
missed the good old days. It was a good old days.
5:33
We would have a petty party on her Instagram.
5:35
Oh they've been doing that. She deleted all our social
5:37
media. Oh yeah, they did that already. Oh yeah
5:40
yeah, Sondre deleted all her social media. Oh
5:42
yeah yeah. That came out this morning. Above the lords
5:44
ain't above the internet.
5:48
You're not.
5:49
But the court of public opinion on the Internet is gonna
5:51
get in your ass, right or wrong.
5:53
And they don't even need the facts. Okay,
5:55
so she's at all She deleted the social media? Who
5:57
deleted all our social media? No
6:00
pet party?
6:01
That's that's actually the headline this morning
6:03
Upstate New York DA delete social media
6:05
after criticism for cursing out Copplever speeding
6:08
ticket.
6:09
That's right.
6:09
And then next they're gonna be in the chief of police comments,
6:12

6:16
it. He going to pry and pride, soy
6:18

6:20
Because they said that her comments had got
6:22
flooded with people from all over the world calling
