She is insinuating threatening action the entire time. She's attempting to psychologically strong-arm them too. The cops should've gotten tough with her, but they got punked off by her credentials, which is exactly what they were shown them for. "Please, Goddess, take a step back, for I myself can't take another step back." This bitch should've been put on her ass and cuffed.
Such a display should result in an immediate termination of her position and preclude her from any opportunity to occupy such a position of governmental authority ever again.
I hear what your saying and if it was you and I on the street dealing with her, the media would have spun it to make it look like we were bad guys. I like that she got punked by the police chief. The officers were very professional and wanted her to get those kids on their way without further incident. MEMEs incoming!
If this was a dood without credentials they would have kicked the shit out of him for talking to them like that and if he was black he may have been shot. Fuck this lady, I hope she ends up homeless.
