A Florida woman is being called out for not recognizing her privilege after video showed her frivolously crashing her Bentley and resisting arrest.
According to video shared on Reddit, Palm Beach Gardens police officers responded to a call about a woman who crashed her Bentley on April 21.
“She’s about to learn what happens when acting entitled ends badly,” the voice-over said in the video.
When officers arrived at the scene, they asked the woman, identified as Jessica Reid, to hang out by her car while they collected information from the witness.
“Yeah, so I was in my van over here, and all of a sudden, I hear, you know, just, I look over, and I see her plow into the back of that car,” the witness told the officer.
“Did she slow down at all?” the officer asked, to which the witness said no.
“This is ridiculous,” Reid chimed in. “I want to get home to my daughter."
“You just caused a serious crash,” the officer told her. “You’re not going anywhere.”
Reid denied causing the crash. An officer asked her to stay put while police investigated the incident to which to responded “You have a great f—kin’ night” as she tried to walk away.
The officer then began to physically detain her.
“You’re a f—kin’ idiot! Get the f—k away from me! I need to go to the bathroom” Reid said.
Authorities told her if she didn't stop resisting arrest, she would be taken into custody.
“Absolutely not,” the woman said.
Officers handcuffed the woman, to which she responded “You guys are going to be so f—ked.” As officers attempted to sit her on the curb, the woman began kicking at them.
“You can kick me if you want. That’s fine. Sit up so you don’t hurt yourself,” one officer said.
“I didn’t do anything. I did nothing! I’ve done nothing wrong! You’re an a—hole… Let me go! Let me go!” the woman said.
The woman was eventually put in the back of a police cruiser. Reid was charged with DUI damage to property, four counts of resisting an officer with violence, refusal to submit to a DUI test, refusal to sign a citation, battery, and obstructing an officer without violence, according to the Atlanta Black Star.
Reddit users called out the woman on her privilege.
“If she wasn’t a pretty white woman, this video would not have been 25 minutes long,” one user said, to which another responded, “Don’t forget rich!”
