A teacher berated a Latino deputy and launched into a racist tirade when he pulled her over in San Dimas, California on April 23rd.
The woman repeatedly called the deputy a “murderer” as she recorded him with her phone.
“You’re always gonna be a Mexican, you’ll never be white, you know that?” the woman said to the law enforcement officer.
The deputy maintained his cool and handled the situation professionally.
Video obtained by FOX LA reporter Bill Melugin:
NEW: "You're always gonna be a Mexican, you'll never be white, you know that?"
A Latino LASD deputy sent me his bodycam video of a woman claiming to be a teacher launching into a racist tirade against him when he pulled her over in San Dimas. She repeatedly calls him a murderer. pic.twitter.com/Cc8jSVenCQ— Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) May 3, 2021
Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department told Melugin that the woman called them after the traffic stop to file a harassment complaint against the deputy.
San Dimas doesn’t have official bodycams yet but the deputy invested in his own personal cam to protect himself.
LASD tells me the woman called them after this traffic stop to file a harassment complaint against the deputy with internal affairs.
San Dimas station doesn't have official bodycams yet, the deputy tells me he invested in his own personal cam to protect himself on the job.— Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) May 3, 2021
Bill Melugin said he has identified the woman and she is a professor at schools in the LA area but he won’t publicly release her name yet because he is waiting for her to return his calls.
LASD also tells me the woman has a history of making false complaints against deputies.
I've learned what her name is, and she has been a professor at schools in the LA area, but at this time, I will not be identifying her because she has not returned any of my calls or emails.— Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) May 3, 2021
