Prius (D)riving NY Legislator Fakes PTSD Panic Attack To Get Out Of Minor Speeding Ticket (VIDEO)

Content originally published at iBankCoin.com

Ulster County, N.Y. legislator Jennifer Schwartz Berky (D) – who is up for reelection Nov. 7, put on quite an act for a local police officer Gary Short after she was pulled her over for driving 43 mph in a 30 mph zone while talking on her cell phone.

A 26-minute video of the May 2017 incident was released last Tuesday during an Ulster Town Board meeting, and features a meltdown of epic proportions.

After Berky failed to impress officer Short by casually mentioning “I work for the county government, I’m a county legislator,” she immediately shifted into the victim role and proceeded to have histrionic tantrum. “Please don’t give me a ticket, I’m broke,” Berky cried, adding “I’m completely broke, and if you tell people, it’s going to hurt me. I’m totally broke. I made $20,000 last year. Please don’t give me a ticket.”

Officer Short – a consummate professional throughout the encounter, returns to his squad car to run Berky’s information, when Berky gets out of her car and fakes a panic attack, while on the phone, claiming PTSD.

Full video here:

  

Berky has learned from this and is ready to move on!

In response to the viral video, Berky issued an apology (the comments section is hilarious):

“The video released earlier this week of my Town of Ulster traffic stop captured a tough moment for me,” stated Berky. “Like so many working families, I too face tough times and stressful situations.  As a professional, a public servant and a mother, I know my interaction with Police Officer Gary Short was unacceptable. I want to apologize to Officer Short and thank him for his patience and professionalism with me during a very difficult time. This has been a humbling experience for me. I hope to use it to grow and learn how to better represent the diverse working families who reside in the great the city of Kingston.”

If you’re an Ulster County resident and want to check out Berky’s pitch – here ya go. So far it's not going over so well.

Another "community organizer" that works 24 hours a day for 20K.  She's broke, a single mom, and progressive, why is she not on the national stage? Oh ya, she is, a national disgrace....These are the people running the Country, into the ground, God help us!

geez....are we sure her last name isn't actually "Berkley"?  What a scumbag. Sociopaths and psychopaths, folks....that's what these fucks are.  They're so high and mighty and think they're above everyone else, but they're all just sociopaths and psychopaths. Next she'll be publicly calling the officer all the typical racist, biggot, homophobe, misogynist bullshit like all these fucktards do.Hope this good guy learned a lesson about government psychopaths...he let her beat him down into not even giving her the speeding ticket ("compromising") and then even after telling her it was going to be a seatbelt ticket this psycho bitch worked him over and threatened to still fight him. I'm glad he immediately gave up at that point and basically said "fuck you then, you're gonna get the speeding ticket you deserved in the first place".  But he NEVER should have deviated in the first place. Whenever dealing with sociopaths and psychopaths you either deal with them straight up and hard-core right away or they will fuck you over. Or just shoot them dead on the spot.  Either way.  She's a waste of space and oxygen. Maybe it should have declared itself "black" and used the championship black debate defense:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxtVorLYnds

On the HudsonVally1.com newssite a commentor left this.... "He stops someone for speeding and it turns into a 26 minute ordeal that goes on to not one, not two, not three, but I believe four no shows for a ticket appearance. Is this the type of politician you want to represent Kingston." She also tried to suppress the releasing of the video.... Git the feeling this ain't her first rodeo ?? If ya know what I mean....

All that for a fucking minor speeding ticket? Did she think she was going to lose an election for that? Just supports my thought that most, if not all politicians are just plain stupid.

She was not worried about the election, she was clearly unqualfied for public office but she is protected by the machine that puts morons like her into office so as to vote as she is told.She went off the deep end because after all her previous scheming, non compliance, obnoxious behavior, cutting corners, she finally got caught and could not power abuse her way out of it.That was lawless behaviour at best and a spectacle of mental illness at worst, so either way or both she should be removed from office.She should not even be allowed to run.She is another Anthony Weiner misfit who latched onto the .gov racket, gets all the .gov bennies and nice permanent paycheck for doing nothing, but still can't stay out of trouble.Clearly she should not be in any .gov capacity since she has no respect for law and order, but it would be more interesting to see who her protectors are, for she has been getting away with a lot more than speeding tickets for a long time.It would also be interesting to review her work product, and find out how she interacts with her coworkers.Chances are she does little or nothing and what she does is substandard, sloppy, or neglected, and probably bullies underlings.This goes much, much deeper.

Everyone in New York State should care because she is a .gov parasite who soaks up tax money and gives nothing in return.The taxpayers of NYS don't need more power abusers like her.She is lawless, poorly self controlled, and obviously insolent toward the officer, and does not accept that pesky things like laws apply to her.She must be a sociopathic, abusive monster toward her coworkers.And her work product is probably lousy and has to be reassigned to other workers while she throws her weight around.Is there a copy of her resume floating around? She tried to twist the truth and gave the officer a veiled threat when he was trying to cut her a break.Her venal bullying did not work outside the office, so she put on a Hollywierd style performance for the police.Her handlers should have told her that public office is a free for all for power abusers and grifters like her but the deal is off when the police show up.At that point they have to use their best acting skills and play the role of a dignified public official. She claims she is a single mom -- if that is the case she should hook up with Harvey Weinstein who will be a single dad very soon.The two of them would be well met.Both pigs.Good thing for the police officer that everything was recorded or she would have hit him with lies and tales of woe, followed by a threat of what Debbie Wassermug Schlub called, "consequences" when she similarly tried to bully the police.Hopefully this power abuser loses her election even with all the help extended to her by her handlers.Jennifer Schwartz Berky is a .gov guttersnipe.

In other words she has no marketable skills other than creative use of big spaces.And she got paid a nice fat salary for that, too.What did she actually accomplish for her constituents? So whose friend/daughter/niece/sister/neighbor/in-law, etc., was she?Whomever she was, she was connected to and trusted enough by the .gov scammers to be inserted into public office whilst being completely unqualified.Just like Weiner.
