Democrats love saying, “No one is above the law.”
But that is psychological projection, because we keep seeing entitled Democrats behaving as if they are above the law, pulling rank on cops and generally behaving like entitled brats who think the rules apply to everyone except their precious selves.
Exhibit A this week is Rhode Island Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan Hogan, whose drunken antics while resisting arrest outside the upscale Clarke Cooke House in Newport are the latest example of a new genre of viral content: brats resisting arrest.
Police bodycam videos go viral because we all love seeing these people get their comeuppance.
The incident unfolded around 9:51 p.m. last Thursday, Aug. 14, when Flanagan, 34, her friend from college Veronica Hannan, who’s a senior manager at PepsiCo, and Veronica’s poor husband, financial adviser Dan Hannan, were asked to leave Clarke Cooke House for reasons unknown. Judging by the belligerence of the women, it’s not hard to guess why.
The bodycam begins as police arrive to find the women out in front of the restaurant. Flanagan, wearing a short red jumpsuit, is wagging her finger and demanding that the officer stop the bodycam: “Protocol is you turn it off if a citizen requests you turn it off.”
