January 1, WATCH: Elected Official Rebuked for “Attacking” Cop Who Pulled Her Over
An elected official in Florida was rebuked for using profanity and speeding away from a police officer who pulled her over.
Body camera footage shows Pompano Beach Vice Mayor Beverly Perkins (D) snap at a police officer during a traffic stop. The officer tells her she was “driving crazy” violating the nearby speed limits and asks for her driver’s license.
When he returns from his squad car, the officer tells Perkins that he’s letting her off with a warning.
“Ms. Perkins, you need to slow down, OK?” he says, adding that he’s issuing “a warning about speeding, OK?”
Perkins doesn’t respond or indicate she heard the officer. “Did you hear what I said?” he asks.
“Did you hear what I said?” the officer says. “You’ve got to slow down. I’m writing you a warning for speeding tonight, OK?”
As the officer begins to walk away, Perkins asks for his name.
“I am Vice Mayor Beverly Perkins from the city of Pompano Beach. Y’all need to find something better to f—ing do,” she says before briskly driving off in her white Audi.
After the video was released, Perkins offered a half-hearted apology.
“If any exchange on my part, the conversation with the police officer, is perceived as being disrespectful, then I do apologize,” she said.
But attorney Barbara Stern, who represents the Fort Lauderdale police union, wasn’t having it.
“You were not gracious. You were not apologetic,” Stern said. “You were rude, unprofessional and disrespectful.”
The Fort Lauderdale Police Department issued a statement, condemning Perkins for “attacking” the police officer.
“Madam Vice Mayor Beverly Perkins, instead of attacking the hard-working Fort Lauderdale Police Department Officers and resorting to using profanity, we suggest you apologize and then sign up for some ride alongs to see what they do every day to protect the citizens of our great city,” the department said.
“As an elected official, you too are held to a higher standard and should know better. If that is not something you can bring yourself to do, we suggest you obey the speed limit and seek anger management.”

This is the NEW “Black Privilege” sweeping the Natin! Run for office, get elected and abuse your power at will as well to commit crime in office! We’ve seen it too many times! And IT’S ALWAYS DEMOCRATS from the WH on down to the lowest levels of politics! Those supporting the Left wing should really reconsider if they want to be associated with trash like that! If you vote for them, you support them, than you are guilty by association of the crimes they commit!

Elected my butt! She seems to think she is well above the law, above the status of a citizen, above God himself. She must think she is related to the greek egyptian queen Cleopatra but even she did the world a favor and commited suicide. As a citizen of that town I would call for her removal and jailing immediately and even use a cadre of citizens outside her residence to keep her in until the State cops got her .

Well DUMMY GIL, I guess if you feel that STRONGLY about it then I suggest you grab a flight down there gather up a MOB like FAT ASS CHUMP did, maybe while your flying down you think about who could join you, you know like the PROUD BOY’S, and a couple more of those IDIOT GROUPS, make sure they have there FLAGS, THERE WEAPONS, (don’t want to forget those) the locals could do like the old days, they could bring pitch forks, clubs, shit like that, then hurry up and get them in front of MAR-A-LAGO and start chanting HANG FAT ASS CHUMP, HANG FAT ASS CHUMP, because, SHIT FOR BRAINS, Sterns crime (and yes it was a crime) was like spitting on the street compared to what CHUMP did, but I don’t remember reading any comments from you or anybody else about getting a MOB together in front of CHUMP’S residence and waiting for the state police. I’ll bet if I was to ask you face to face if you thought CHUMP committed a crime I’m sure you would LIE and say NO. Now tell me who thinks there WELL above the law.

GOD BLESS the police for doing a great job and putting up with the inane comments of PTSD citizens that happen to work for the State………The need for AGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR STICKESRS for these inane commenters need to have them put on their windshield so the police know what to expect.

The city has a responsibility to sack her. Not acceptable for someone acting like that to hold any office

Pompano Beach Vice Mayor should be fired immediately and not be allowed to hold public office again. I think she should also be #1 required to write a public, formal apology to the officer who was doing his job, and #2 required to take a anger management course. If either is refused she definitely should get an expensive ticket!
