Sandra Doorley, the Monroe County district attorney, was going 20 miles over the speed limit in her SUV when a Webster, N.Y. cop put on his lights and siren to signal her to pull over. She didn’t, however. Ignoring the police car, she drove about a half mile before pulling into her home’s garage. “Sorry, I’m the D.A.,” Doorly snapped at the officer as they both got out of their vehicles. “I was going 55 coming home from work.” But the speed limit on the road she was just driving on is 35 m.p.h, the officer replied. “I don’t really care,” was the D.A’s response. She proceeded to insult the officer and refuse to cooperate with the legal traffic stop, while obviously lying that she didn’t see his lights or hear the siren.

The encounter was recorded on the cop’s body camera, and now everybody knows that the Monroe County district attorney is an asshole. That conduct was signature significance, wasn’t it? “I’m an important person and I don’t care if I broke the law”? I think so. I can’t imagine anyone behaving like Doorley does in that jaw-dropping video above even once who isn’t an asshole.

Gov. Kathy Hochul said she has reported Doorley to the State Commission on Prosecutorial Conduct, as the body camera footage clearly shows her “claiming she is above the law, attempting to use her public office to evade responsibility and acting unprofessionally towards a police officer simply trying to do his job.” This conduct, Hochul said, “undermined her ability to hold others accountable for violating the law.” I think that’s fair. Like the proverbial stopped clock, even Hochul is right now and then.

Maybe Doorley can save her career by charging Donald Trump with something.

Save Rochester, a local advocacy group, has started a petition asking for her to be removed from office, and other are saying she should be disbarred. No, you can’t get disbarred for misbehaving during a traffic stop, and if behaving like a toxic, arrogant asshole was grounds for disbarment, we’d have about 36 lawyers left in the whole country. Fired as a prosecutor, though? Absolutely.

Naturally, realizing that she has placed her career in jeopardy, Doorley suddenly decided that she was in the wrong and apologized for her behavior in a video after the body camera footage was made public.

“What I did was wrong, no excuses,” she says. “I didn’t treat this officer with the respect that he deserved.” Then she makes an excuse: she was stressed out because of three recent homicides in Rochester. “We all have bad days and stress, and it was wrong for me to take it out on an officer who’s simply doing his job,” she concludes. Ya think? Except Doorley didn’t just snap or lose her temper. She gave a 20 minute demonstration of how too many of the powerful figures in our society believe that they have earned King’s Pass, #11 on the list. On the Apology Scale, I rank hers as a a bottom of the barrel #11, an Impossible Apology: “An inherently unbelievable apology for conduct or words so unethical and so extreme that nobody could possibly say or engage it accidentally or unintentionally. Such an apology for words or conduct of signature significance, indicating that the speaker or wrongdoer is unethical and untrustworthy because no individual who is ethical and trustworthy would behave in such a manner even once, is not merely cynical and a travesty, but insulting to its intended audience.”

Oh…one last thing. Because Doorley is white, Save Rochester decided to turn this into a racial incident. “This is proof that white privilege reigns supreme in our country and it’s time for that to come to an end,” the group wrote in on Instagram. “Sandra put countless people’s lives in jeopardy and she had the nerve to try to use her position to escape justice, meanwhile she prosecutes Black people to the fullest extent of the law.”

Anyone who claims that a single incident involving an individual of a particular race or ethnic group is “proof” of how members of that race or group act is even more unethical than the D.A. Doorley is a sickeningly arrogant D.A. because she’s white?

Somebody please introduce Save Rochester to Fani Willis.
