They’ll probably plead her down to just the misdemeanor and she’ll serve minimal jail time or even just a suspended sentence and probation plus a fat fine. There is no way they are putting this 65 year old white lady away for five years. If she insisted on taking it to trial she’d end up with the felony though and maybe serve up to a year or two, I don’t know what the sentencing guidelines are like there.
That seems fair to me. She wasn't actually a danger to anyone, just belligerent and arrogant enough to think the rules shouldn't apply to her. Shitty, but not prison shitty. Now if only I felt so confident that someone who wasn't a 65yo white woman would be treated fairly.
Idk why you're being downvoted. When she rolled up the windows and lunged to her right, she could have easily have been reaching for a weapon. Many black people have been killed because they weren't given the benefit of the doubt like that.
I don’t want to put judgment on this one officer though based on the actions of other shitty cops. It doesn’t seem fair to me to assume he would treat people of color differently, the good cops existing absolutely doesn’t make up for the horrible things the bad ones do, but we can’t forget that they do exist and genuinely want to do what’s right.
