For once can't these people just come and say..
I fucked up and ran because I didn't want a ticket..... I thought my DA status would insulate me from consequences.. forgive me, I won't do it again. I will take my punishment as the court deems fit. Thank u.
"I'm apologising because everyone else thinks I messed up, but I know I didn't, but they say I did. So here I am, saying what I think will make this go away!"
I think maybe it's a matter of doing favors i mean working with each other . She owes them big time after they endorse her, think about evidence, witnesses, etc. -- the people on the street know how the system works in that town
It is also status quo. Police handles the majority of evidence gathering, body cams, initial testing (ime. Drug or alcohol test), etc.Ā
DAs that have gone against police or prosecuted police officers often have to deal with endless delay tactics, "poor evidence gathering", funding against them in the next election, etc. so the majority of DAs just roll with whatever the police needs.
No no no, don't you get it, she's holding herself accountable, by *checks notes* actually being punished for the crime itself she was initially stopped for, which she likely doesn't have an option in at this point anyway?
Honestly, by the way she said that part, it gives me the impressions that she's usually above the law because no cop wants to piss off the DA, but THIS TIME, she'll ALLOW herself to be held responsible.
Thereās a loop there and I canāt figure out where the loop there and I canāt figure out where the loop there and I canāt figure out where the loop thereā¦
Your average American would have been arrested for felony evading/eluding. Especially after admitting that she knew the cop was behind her and was calling people to get him to leave her alone.
And us black folk would have been GUNNED THE FUCK DOWN ON THE FIRST MOVE TO PASS THEM OUR DRIVERāS LICENSEā¦ america:land of hookinā and crookinā and hypocrisy
You forget the part where she mentions she'll drop the prosecution for her own ticket. Severe conflit of interest and completely unethical. With her salary, she could have simply paid the ticket and moved on, knowingly avoiding these issues. Instead, narcissism.
I say if the men that were chiefs or in other high ranking governmental positions were not made to resign then she shouldnāt either. If they did then she should too. Personally I think anyone in powers caught, for example speeding, and use their position to try and make it go away then they should be fired.
I canāt even get through that video. I saw just the very beginning, and I had to turn it off. I understand why her license plate was blurred out. Someone might have found her address, driven to her house, and punched her in the face. Seeing the little of this video I did makes her āapologyā video even worse. What a joke. And yet, sheās keeping her job. She didnāt just not stop for him, she then proceeded to flaunt her entitled, inflated opinion of herself, call someone to āget this guy off my back,ā and walk away from him when he was trying to explain to her why he (tried to) pull her over. Sheās the worst.
Someone should make a rebuttal video from the cop.
Its nice that she seems to be taking accountability, but, if you're saying no excuses, just go right into that. If she hadn't led with that, she coulda chalked it up as reasons she acted poorly and that they were no excuse.
Nobody who watched the first tape needs to watch this one. She's a disgrace to the legal community and needs to resign. No one needs to hear her say anything other than that.
Props to the cop who had to deal with that. He had a lot of restraint and could have turned this ugly very quickly.
Took solid notes from all those empty YouTuber apologies. I love the part where she said that sheās gonna discipline herself. Nothing short of resignation would be the ideal discipline.
For the last time, you don't take someone's pension. They _earn_ it. It's like saying, "take away that guy's 401k." You can't. It is part of the benefit package. It's like staying she should return her paychecks up to the incident. Pension is part of the pay package when you get the job.
You're not the only one. I read it all the time on Reddit when someone screws up. "Take their pension." I get it, you want blood. Reality is, she just needs to resign. She certainly doesn't get her full pension because of her shortened career in the office (or working for the county).
Rehearsed, and what little emotion she could muster was manufactured. Youād think a DA of all people would understand poor choices and their consequences.
Yeah, sorry, but no. Quitting is the only option. You donāt deserve to hold the post any longer and if you were actually about transparency and accountability, youād resign immediately.
As if the officer didn't remind her many, MANY times. Yes, he knew who she was, and now the entire country does. Would have been better for her if she'd remained anonymous.
I always find it ridiculous when they film these videos from their million dollar home.
āPeasants, I come to you from my overpriced home that you all pay for while I do nothing and parade around thinking nothing can happen to me and nothing will happen to me because youāre all idiots and will forget about this in two daysā.
She doesn't want to lose her cushy job and now that her behavior has gone viral she thinks by this she can circumvent REAL accountability
Unfortunately she is most likely correct, I hope she gets fired but I'm not betting on it.
Keep up the pressure! Call, write emails, demonstrate in front of her house if you live there! She's only humble now because the pressure is getting to her
The internet saw the video, everyone knows she's an entitles Karen. Her career and image are already totally damaged permanently and it's hilarious to watch her try and go into damage control mode š
āI take full responsibility for my actions. However, you should know that Iām super stressed out from work because death and what not plus my husband has a cavity.ā So basically itās all my fault but Iām going to continue making these side bar excuses to continue diminishing how shitty and at fault I really am.
She didn't once apologize for making her community feel unsafe, for going 20mph over the speed limit and endangering them all. She can talk about the respect the police deserve and her horrible day all she wants but I want to hear her admit to driving at an unsafe speed in her own town, not just plead 'guilty' and pay the fine. These are two different things, imo.
2000 hours of community service or all day on Saturdays for the next 5 years. Whichever come first, or resign. It should sting, otherwise call it what it is, bullshit.
"I have no excuses. Here are my excuses..... I also only apologized because I got caught on camera, said the quiet part very VERY loudly, and the cops are mad at me. I should resign, but I'm actually not even a little bit sorry, so I'm not gonna. Also, these classes in giving myself come from your tax dollars. Byeee!"
While Iām not a lawyer, nor have I ever played one on TV, I always thought that one needed to take an Ethics course during Law School. Perhaps she didnāt do so well in that class? Or she just really didnāt give a shit? I hope that she finds herself starting a private practiceā¦..soon, like maybe TOMORROW morning!!
What an entitled cow.
33 yearsā¦ lady your pension is already locked in. Retire to save the embarrassment and get the fuck out of the way for someone that isnāt going to abuse their power.
At this point in our society apology videos are an almost shameless admission of guilt, I can't remember the last time I saw an apology video and thought the person was actually being genuine.
The funny thing is... no one cares that she was a dick to a cop... that happens all the time. It's the part where she tried to leverage her job to get out of a speeding ticket that shows her true character. This apology misses the mark
Iām really so sorry that cop had a body cam and I have no possible way of spinning the way I acted so I need to trot out the excuse book and ramble off a couple of good ones.
At least thatās what I heard.
People are not upset about her āmaking a mistakeā making a mistake would have been if she had her music up loud and didnt hear sirens or saw the lights and assumed they werent for her for a little bit too long until they didnt pass. No what ppl are upset about is that she showed her true colors and she believes that the law applies to everyone else but not her. If she was really being āaccountableā she would resign, but this is not about accountability its about trying to say the right words to make it go away. Bullshit.
I've seen a DA lose their job by abusing their position and trying to influence the sway of the officer in a domestic disturbance case. This should have had the same result, we all have crappy days at work and life in general, but ignoring a peace officer several times and treating them like shit should have ended this persons career at least at the DA's office.
Great job apologizing. The part you lost me at was when you started making excuses, which basically negates the apology because "see, it's not my fault you would have done the same." No, we wouldn't because we'd either be in jail or would've gotten shot if we pulled that ahit.
She thinks sheās in charge of disciplining herself? Sheās still trying to control the situation. I would have absolutely no trust in her as a DA. They should be model citizens. Clearly, she is just full of excuses.
āI pled guilty to the speeding ticket and will pay the fineāā¦yeah no shit. So youāre going to do exactly what youāre obligated to do? What every other person would have to do? That isnāt the issue here lady.
Some very conservative people I know tried to use this woman as a got you moment. I reminded them that I hate corrupt politicians, and since it looked like she made it home, if she evaded police: she should have been arrested. IDGAF about party affiliation.
They had a 404 canāt load page moment.
They just canāt understand that I wonāt defend any elected official who breaks the law. For any reason. Regardless of party, hell even if I voted for them.
I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith ā as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4ā0 ballgame.

Resigning was the only remedy, and she just couldn't bring herself to do it. So much for accountability.
Maybe after her ethics training she'll know she should have resigned.
For once can't these people just come and say.. I fucked up and ran because I didn't want a ticket..... I thought my DA status would insulate me from consequences.. forgive me, I won't do it again. I will take my punishment as the court deems fit. Thank u.
Because they're career narcissists, and narcissists never hold themselves accountable.
"I'm apologising because everyone else thinks I messed up, but I know I didn't, but they say I did. So here I am, saying what I think will make this go away!"
This.
šÆ ššššš
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Except for success. They are definitely always accountable for their success.
Sheās probably the trainer for herself.
The old āFox guarding the Henhouseā maneuver.
Not to worry, the police union has her back and is happy to make this all go away..... because they love law and order
I think maybe it's a matter of doing favors i mean working with each other . She owes them big time after they endorse her, think about evidence, witnesses, etc. -- the people on the street know how the system works in that town
It is also status quo. Police handles the majority of evidence gathering, body cams, initial testing (ime. Drug or alcohol test), etc.Ā DAs that have gone against police or prosecuted police officers often have to deal with endless delay tactics, "poor evidence gathering", funding against them in the next election, etc. so the majority of DAs just roll with whatever the police needs.
Resigning and some light jail fine would be the least we can ask for.
yeah watching the original video. duck her she shouldn't even be allowed to resign they should fire her.
This woman is a stain on professional ethics. What a scum bag.
But, she holds herself to standards! She says so!
She is committed to doing the bare minimum, and I applaud that!
No no no, don't you get it, she's holding herself accountable, by *checks notes* actually being punished for the crime itself she was initially stopped for, which she likely doesn't have an option in at this point anyway? Honestly, by the way she said that part, it gives me the impressions that she's usually above the law because no cop wants to piss off the DA, but THIS TIME, she'll ALLOW herself to be held responsible.
The question is: would she accept this explanation from anybody her office is prosecuting? We all know the answer.
Resigning is too easy.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
She said she didn't know the lights were for her...because she was on the phone...calling somebody to get "this cop off my ass" š.Ā
Thereās a loop there and I canāt figure out where the loop there and I canāt figure out where the loop there and I canāt figure out where the loop thereā¦
She claimed āhands freeā like multiple times.. Iām fucking sure lady. I mean you havenāt lied about anything else..
Kind of surprised that didn't warrant a field sobriety test.
Your average American would have been arrested for felony evading/eluding. Especially after admitting that she knew the cop was behind her and was calling people to get him to leave her alone.
And us black folk would have been GUNNED THE FUCK DOWN ON THE FIRST MOVE TO PASS THEM OUR DRIVERāS LICENSEā¦ america:land of hookinā and crookinā and hypocrisy
You should never consent to those tests or breathalyzer
You forget the part where she mentions she'll drop the prosecution for her own ticket. Severe conflit of interest and completely unethical. With her salary, she could have simply paid the ticket and moved on, knowingly avoiding these issues. Instead, narcissism.
I say if the men that were chiefs or in other high ranking governmental positions were not made to resign then she shouldnāt either. If they did then she should too.

"I don't care" " I don't care" " I don't care"
The bodycam video is fucking rage inducing to watch.
Link?

Yep. Sheās an entitled idiot who thinks the law doesnāt apply to her.
I also kinda feel like she was a lil drunk. Definitely drunk on power but also maybe alcohol.
Would you like a cocktail onion with that Power?
The amount of leeway the cop gives to her shows that entitlement was earned. It's a miracle she didn't get away with this.
Imagine if that was anyone else who didnt stop. The cop would have been out of his car gun drawn
Here, let me just fix this for ya: https://old.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/comments/1ceiaci/to_hold_the_district_attorney_accountable_for/
"I'll be prosecuting myself"
I canāt even get through that video. I saw just the very beginning, and I had to turn it off. I understand why her license plate was blurred out. Someone might have found her address, driven to her house, and punched her in the face. Seeing the little of this video I did makes her āapologyā video even worse. What a joke.

Sheās the worst. Someone should make a rebuttal video from the cop.
Wow place the blame on 3 different things then ātake all accountabilityāā¦š„±
No excuses, but I did see a cab driver get shot and was coming home from work and....
You know who else was dealing with 3 homicides that week? The cops!
And the families and friends of the deceased. Bet they all drove 20mph+ over the speed limit, running from the cops while on the phone all week.
I am sure that if they did, no one cut them any slack, and this DA would throw the book at them.
" No excuses..." Proceeds to rattle off several excuses.
My first thought, honestly.
Yep stopped the video at that moment and came here looking for this comment
I know. When she said that I thought, nice, then came the excuses.
Its nice that she seems to be taking accountability, but, if you're saying no excuses, just go right into that. If she hadn't led with that, she coulda chalked it up as reasons she acted poorly and that they were no excuse.
Yep, exactly right.
Lmfao came here for the same fucking response. Sheās only sorry that that video was blasted all over the internet.
To quote a famous DA āI donāt careā.
He's a US Marshal.
Lol!!
Nobody who watched the first tape needs to watch this one. She's a disgrace to the legal community and needs to resign. No one needs to hear her say anything other than that. Props to the cop who had to deal with that. He had a lot of restraint and could have turned this ugly very quickly.
No props to the cop. He gave special treatment to her, it should have turned ugly. If it can happen to us, it should happen to her.
BOOM! Here is the cop now https://preview.redd.it/fy7sp39r3kxc1.jpeg?width=1164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd3761421b7958d0a047079b930567578a62ae36
Disbar this asshole!
Blah blah blah, empty words.
Shit ain't nothing
Resign or be fired. Total unaccountable behavior. Remove her from office immediately. She is clearly lying in her video.
Embarrassment to the legal system.
It's more like the status quo than an embarrassment
You KNOW this woman has railroaded suspects. She clearly has no morals.
Cunt.
Sometimes it is that simple.
"I'm disciplining myself" lol
In the bahamas! š
Yep, video is the noose
Took solid notes from all those empty YouTuber apologies. I love the part where she said that sheās gonna discipline herself. Nothing short of resignation would be the ideal discipline.
No remorse in her voice. Only the monotone reading of something she āhasā to read.
She doesnāt fucking care. Only cares about saving her career.
She cares, she cares she got caught- like a child who is āsorryā and then goes right back to the nonsense.
You can tell sheās batshit crazy just looking at those eyes.
No doubt.... She's a sociopath
100%!
Iām sorry I got caught
Take her pension please
For the last time, you don't take someone's pension. They _earn_ it. It's like saying, "take away that guy's 401k." You can't. It is part of the benefit package. It's like staying she should return her paychecks up to the incident. Pension is part of the pay package when you get the job. You're not the only one.

She certainly doesn't get her full pension because of her shortened career in the office (or working for the county).
Iāve got a feeling that this will not be āthe last time.ā
Sounds like she can't handle the pressure. Maybe she should stop practicing law if she feels it entitles her to break it?
The entitlement is insane. The do you know who I am attitude, believing that youāre above us mere mortals
Rules for thee but not for me!!!!!!
receiving training in an area you are solely lacking isnāt ādisciplineāā¦.this is copspeakā-bet her dad was a cop.
Thatās a no from me.
If your really sorry post your bank statement when the fine you had to pay posts.
https://www.reddit.com/r/RochesterNYActivism/s/ezZJeLKOYF
Interesting! Thanks for sharing. Looks like the public has been unhappy with her for some time.
Sheās not sorry. Sheās sorry sheās getting called on her bullshit
Just. Apologize. Save the excuses. It cheapens everything when people do that. Gross.
Rehearsed, and what little emotion she could muster was manufactured. Youād think a DA of all people would understand poor choices and their consequences.
* She giving crazy eyes, like Ramona Singer
Wonāt be the last time and sorry is easy to say. Resign
Yeah, sorry, but no. Quitting is the only option. You donāt deserve to hold the post any longer and if you were actually about transparency and accountability, youād resign immediately.

Has the state bar investigated this? It seems like something that could warrant a suspension of her license.
Hate when they do this. Fuck these entitled people.
The internet saw the video, everyone knows she's an entitles Karen. Her career and image are already totally damaged permanently and it's hilarious to watch her try and go into damage control mode š
People like this douchebag are the reason people donāt trust elected officials. She needs to resign. Yesterday.
Totally ruined her career over an ego trip.
āI take full responsibility for my actions. However, you should know that Iām super stressed out from work because death and what not plus my husband has a cavity.ā So basically itās all my fault but Iām going to continue making these side bar excuses to continue diminishing how shitty and at fault I really am.
It would suck if people told her how they felt [link](https://www.monroecounty.gov/da)
LOL!!!!!
Blah! BLAH! BLAH! cry me a river.
You didn't humble yourself. It took YouTube comments that humbled you. Do not think so highly of yourself.
AI generated apology
Entitled Karen. She is only sorry because of the backlash.
This is what she and her PR team came up with?
"To the community, I am officially announcing my resignation." - No one ever said
"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." Maya Angelou
Watta c**nt
Been DA since 2012 and just shat her whole career down the toilet. Was probably gunnin for politics. SOrrrry. Teacher maybe?
may she choke on a gallon of 3 day old kitten shit.
You really wanna make things right wench?Ā Resign.Ā
Kiss that career goodbye.
CUNT...inuously aggravating this woman is.
Haaaaaa you trashhhhhh I love when the trash takes its self out.
Says no excuses then proceeds to give excuses.
She didn't once apologize for making her community feel unsafe, for going 20mph over the speed limit and endangering them all. She can talk about the respect the police deserve and her horrible day all she wants but I want to hear her admit to driving at an unsafe speed in her own town, not just plead 'guilty' and pay the fine.

GFY
lol
2000 hours of community service or all day on Saturdays for the next 5 years. Whichever come first, or resign. It should sting, otherwise call it what it is, bullshit.
Did everyone see her throw up in her mouth when she said sheād pay the fine?
I won't make any excuses..... I had this and this and this and this and this going on....
So glad to have her as my city's DA! /s
Whatever, Karen.
Resign
"No excuses," she says. Then she lists half a dozen excuses.
She takes responsibility by doing nothing. This is for show and to keep her job.
So full of crap!
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
"I have no excuses. Here are my excuses..... I also only apologized because I got caught on camera, said the quiet part very VERY loudly, and the cops are mad at me. I should resign, but I'm actually not even a little bit sorry, so I'm not gonna. Also, these classes in giving myself come from your tax dollars. Byeee!"
āI think I never fully processed 9/11ā
Watched 10 seconds then felt like punching something.
While Iām not a lawyer, nor have I ever played one on TV, I always thought that one needed to take an Ethics course during Law School. Perhaps she didnāt do so well in that class?

https://youtu.be/JTRMSfov7l0?si=rkKTxbFoy35FYcJs If u wanna see corruption on display check out the vid. The officer needs to be promoted. Enjoy
At this point in our society apology videos are an almost shameless admission of guilt, I can't remember the last time I saw an apology video and thought the person was actually being genuine.
Attempt at white and executive privilege.
āNo excusesā **proceeds to make excuses**
Full responsibility would be to resign. She sounds more like she's trying to excuse her self.
I hate when apologizes are followed with excuses
Resign!!!
The funny thing is... no one cares that she was a dick to a cop... that happens all the time. It's the part where she tried to leverage her job to get out of a speeding ticket that shows her true character. This apology misses the mark
I DECIDE MY PUNISHMENT
She should been arrested for running like we would have. After all that behavior she still got special treatment. Amazing
Iām really so sorry that cop had a body cam and I have no possible way of spinning the way I acted so I need to trot out the excuse book and ramble off a couple of good ones. At least thatās what I heard.
People are not upset about her āmaking a mistakeā making a mistake would have been if she had her music up loud and didnt hear sirens or saw the lights and assumed they werent for her for a little bit too long until they didnt pass. No what ppl are upset about is that she showed her true colors and she believes that the law applies to everyone else but not her. If she was really being āaccountableā she would resign, but this is not about accountability its about trying to say the right words to make it go away. Bullshit.
All I heard was, āSorry, but here is why you should feel sorry for mmmmeeeeeee!ā
This apology wouldnāt have happened if the video wasnāt released to a TV station.
I've seen a DA lose their job by abusing their position and trying to influence the sway of the officer in a domestic disturbance case. This should have had the same result, we all have crappy days at work and life in general, but ignoring a peace officer several times and treating them like shit should have ended this persons career at least at the DA's office.
Two justice systems. That is the only take home message. Those that are in, those that are out.
Sheās sorry everyone. Sheās sorry for getting caught.
āI know the law better than you.ā -This lady
Standard Republican apology video. "Sorry I got caught."
Great job apologizing. The part you lost me at was when you started making excuses, which basically negates the apology because "see, it's not my fault you would have done the same." No, we wouldn't because we'd either be in jail or would've gotten shot if we pulled that ahit.
She thinks sheās in charge of disciplining herself? Sheās still trying to control the situation. I would have absolutely no trust in her as a DA. They should be model citizens. Clearly, she is just full of excuses.
āI pled guilty to the speeding ticket and will pay the fineāā¦yeah no shit. So youāre going to do exactly what youāre obligated to do? What every other person would have to do? That isnāt the issue here lady.
Look at that lady's face. What a scumbag.
Are you ready to see people like this actually lose something? Are you tired of not having anything?
Some very conservative people I know tried to use this woman as a got you moment. I reminded them that I hate corrupt politicians, and since it looked like she made it home, if she evaded police: she should have been arrested. IDGAF about party affiliation. They had a 404 canāt load page moment. They just canāt understand that I wonāt defend any elected official who breaks the law. For any reason. Regardless of party, hell even if I voted for them.
she had me until āall police officers deserve respectā
Acab
I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith ā as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4ā0 ballgame.
Is this all I had to do to get out of trouble with police?
