Sandra Doorley issues apology after traffic stop controvery

Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley has issued a video statement - her first since the controversy surrounding her not pulling over for a traffic stop in Webster.
Doorley's statement makes no reference to resigning. Instead she says she will take ethics training and will "make this right."
One week ago, Webster Police attempted to pull Doorley over on Phillips Road for going 55 mph in a 35 mph zone. Instead of pulling over, Doorley said she called Webster Police Chief Dennis Kohlmeier to inform him that she was not a threat. She said that she would talk to the officer at her house.
Doorley released a statement on Thursday admitting to speeding.
On Friday, the Town of Webster released body camera footage showing Doorley's contentious interaction with an officer at her house.
In her statement, Doorley said she didn't treat the officer "with the respect he deserves."
The video release has prompted many local officials to call for her resignation. Overnight, Governor Hochul released a statement saying she was referring the DA to the State Commission on Prosecutorial Conduct - which has the authority to "review and investigate the conduct of prosecutors."
The video has received national attention and was featured on Good Morning America Monday morning.
Doorley's statement in full:
"Last Monday, I failed you and the standards I hold myself to, and for that, I’m so sorry. What I did was wrong. No excuses. I take full responsibility for my actions. I fell short of the values I’ve held for my entire 33-year career. I didn’t treat this officer with the respect he deserves. All police officers deserve respect. I am truly and sincerely sorry. I’d just come from work. I was dealing with three homicides that occurred over the weekend. I watched a video where an innocent cab driver was executed, and I was still reeling from a frightening medical concern that my husband received that afternoon. But we all have bad days and stress, and it was wrong for me to take it out on an officer who was simply doing his job. While I previously apologized to him, I will say it again. I’m sorry. Police already have a tough job, and that day I made this officer's job harder. To the community, I owe you full transparency. Here’s what I’m doing to hold myself accountable. First, I had already plead guilty to the speeding ticket, and I will willingly pay the fine. Next, I am referring the entire matter to a district attorney from another county for review and will fully cooperate with that investigation. I’m going to self-report this incident to the grievance committee, and I’ll cooperate with their investigation. Finally, if one of my assistant district attorneys had acted this way, I would’ve disciplined them. So I’m disciplining myself. I will take ethics training to remind myself that professionalism matters. I’ve been humbled by my own stupidity, and I’m fully to blame. I will make this right. I ask for your forgiveness."

Sandra Doorley - your behavior exemplifies everything that is WRONG with our justice system. In your "apology video" you left out the part about, "the law doesn't apply to you". However, you did a nice job in the original body cam video explaining that you can speed [endangering innocent lives] whenever and wherever you please because your office prosecutes these crimes, and naturally why would you prosecute yourself, [because you are above the law or maybe, you ARE the law]? However, if the community response is anything short of firing you in disgrace, then the "I'm having a bad day" defense can then be used by tens of thousands of other scofflaws. You are literally a disgrace.

Theoretically it should be valid. However, she's not the only person working in the DA's office. Even though she is the head and public face of the office, there are other people who are working under her supervision. As hypocritical as that may seem, they may be decent and just people who are trying to do their job correctly. The current issue with her being a true point of contention for the community she serves and beyond as this story has gone viral on KZbin and her behavior was utterly atrocious and unacceptable by most of the viewing community..I can certainly appreciate any and all attempts made by members of that community to use that argument before the courts and make that attempt. Many of them probably have just as much, or better chances, choosing to argue about her actions in court. I'm making these statements as someone with no experience with the law and in my many decades, I haven't even ever gotten a speeding ticket, but have dealt with many throughout my ex-husband's trucking career. Sadly, I've always seen the "Rules for thee, but not for me" attitude in most cases during this time period. Hopefully, she will be held accountable for her actions this time though since it's all on video.

She should be charged with every offense possible, removed from office, disbarred, and given the maximum sentences for all charges, to set an example. As a condition of her sentencing, she should also be required to apologize to that officer and the residents of that community. Her total contempt for the law she is employed to uphold and enforce is a complete disgrace to the system of law, her profession, her colleagues, and the community she is employed to protect.

The last thing they want is to have us all agree that they create problems that dont exist to make laws that provide a false solution and then attach all of our hard earned tax money to a program that they suck dry of all the cash and leave the citizens with even nore problems. THIS WOMAN RIGHT HERE (once a Democrat now a Republican) is one of those people,shes just robbing the public and abusing her power while pretending to serve us. If I had it my way she would be exiled from the USA along with the rest of the politicians after serving her sentence, which should be an average equivalent to the cases where she charged us nirmal people. I dont believe in defunding police....I believe in defunding politicians. Politicians should live in a modest public owned campus while serving. Receiving a modest salary and benefits. However they should not be able to invest in ANYTHING other than a 401k so that they cannot benefit from lobbying and bribes. They should be audited every month by a committee of regular citizens who can ask whatever questions they want about their finances and that committee should have the authority to appoint their opponent during the election until a new election is conducted. These motherfuckers cant be trusted and ALL OF THEM are corrupt. We need to take oir country back.

[@Mike-qg3zd]

self discipline.. ethics training.. lol. i thought when eluding a police officer u get arrested?. she should be removed. the very laws u uphold u blatantly break. sorry.

[@veritasjustus8543]

Had she already filed charges against herself for evasion durimg the traffic stop,AND failure to obey a lawful order...THEN sent the charges to another DA....I would accept that. BUT she didnt prosecute herself as she promised during the incident, so thats yet another chance to be accountable that she didnt take.

[@js1112111]

She needs to lose her job. She isn't sorry she was sorry the video was released. She puts people in jail on a daily basis who have bad days. We all have bad days and don't run from police and ignore police commands. She needs to be punished, she still acts like the speeding ticket was the issue.

[@kdplain2923]

It's never cool to lose your composure and act like an ass. It stays with you forever.

[@bluethunder5694]

I called and told them I,was new to the community and if I'm speeding can I just go home and tell the cop I dont care and not go to jail . They told me hell no. So there is no accountability except the small,fine she gave herself.

[@starrystarrynight6281]

I’m sorry but the apology is empty. We all saw the real Sandra Dooley in that video, she is using every excuse under the sun. If she can’t take stress better that that, then she needs to get a less stressful job. BTW the cocky laughing at the cop during your garage performance made me really mad.

“No excuses” proceeds to offer excuses. I wonder if she thinks all the people arrested that day were having a good day? She should have been arrested, anyone else would have been the moment she parked in her garage.

[@mattzembower2042]

So she pled guilty, but hasn’t pay the fine, she fled the scene of the crime by not stopping for the police officer, what about that ?

[@zang9147]

Is this the same person from the body cam footages? Every other person who would have experienced a bad day would have been arrested so that's no excuse at all. It's nothing other than damage control now she's been exposed worldwide.

[@gabriellehollis9081]

She’s amongst the many hypocritical law makers all the way to the top, that make the laws for the peasants to follow, but would never follow themselves. She meant every bit of that, she just didn’t think it would make it to the media.

she is a joke! who made her do this video? sorry your not sorry you let us down your showing everyone no one needs to fallow rules! you let us down

[@letolethe3344]

She "issues an apology" a week after the incident and not until everyone saw her being a total bitch. It wasn't just snapping at him once or twice or failing to follow commands and later following them. She cursed at him, blatantly stated she's above the law ("I don't care"), intimidated him by invoking her office and calling his superior, corruptly tried to get his superior to intervene, failed to obey commands 25 minutes and more. She should be fired.

If that were a young black man in the same situation, and if he wasn't shot, he would definitely be charged with fleeing and eluding. Also, she never took accountability for thinking she was above the law. She apologized to the officer and then cited all the reasons why she did it. No real accountability.

No. You are not forgiven. Everyone has bad or stressful days, unless you are a citizen, then it doesn’t matter. The only reason she is apologizing is because people are calling for her resignation.

[@vistalite]

We already witnessed the real DA Doorley. She was the person using her elected position to intimidate a police officer. She was also the person who failed to take full responsibility for her actions. A video apology spewing excuses AFTER the public was calling for her job shows its lack of sincerety. We all know it’s just attempted damage control.

[@brendasmart553]

Body language: holding your nose up is not helping her but does show her feelings of being superior over everyone else. The speeding ticket is the least on the long list of your crimes that must be included for full accountability. Being sorry you got caught is the only truth here. Nose up in the air is so telling... Resign or be fired

[@mattp4079]

Her husband Bill Loftus works at a frozen food company. I imagine she treats him just like the officer.
