Florida woman confronts cops who warned her after she threatened to dump trash on county commissioner's property
PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA: A video has surfaced online showing a woman being confronted by police officers after she allegedly made a threatening social media post. The video shared on Reddit’s popular r/PublicFreakout page showed the woman identified as Angelique being confronted by Detective Horton from Palm Beach County, Florida after she allegedly claimed in a social media post that she would trespass and trash the property of a county commissioner.
After the cop arrived at the house of the woman, he asked her, “You and some guy named Anthony were posting on social media that you were going to trespass on a country commissioner's property and dump trash on her property.” Angelique reportedly first played dumb, but later pleaded the Fifth Amendment to avoid any legal proceeding. To which, Horton said, “Alright, don't trespass; have a good night.” However, the interaction did not end there as the woman continued defensively, “So all this for that? This is just fearmongering of a citizen for nothing.” She also asked for all the cops’ names and badge numbers. The woman then pointed towards a random woman who was near her property and accused her of trespassing. She even asked the officers to charge that woman.

The officer then responded, “We are not going to argue.” The woman then insisted, “I have a right to ask questions." "You pled the Fifth, remember?" the officer reminded her as he avoided her requests. The video attracted a lot of attention online with one Reddit user saying, “Being stupid is one thing. But being stupid enough to post a video of your stupidity... Well that's just a whole new level of stupid. Stupid.” Another person wrote, “Karens do it all of the time because they’re really arrogant enough to believe they weren’t wrong and that everyone will agree with them.” The third user added: “There are few things more annoying than these people filming police/citizen encounters, know enough to know to invoke their 5th amendment, and then continue to talk like the morons they are. You see it often with the 1st amendment auditor idiots too.”
“I would also submit that this kind of bullshit overall damages attempts at actual police reform. There are people who film the police when they are actually abusing their power, outright breaking the law or engaging in police brutality and those instances should be filmed. Asshats like this erode the legitimacy of those instances by emboldening the common ‘thin blue line’ narrative,” a user mentioned in the comment section while the second one noted, “She kept talking because her privilege was triggered lol. Karen’s always gotta have the last word.”
Recently, in an unrelated incident, a video of a woman has gone viral that showed her getting dragged out of a bar by her hair after she allegedly refused to wear a mask. The alleged incident took place at the Chattanooga Billiard Club when a female bouncer manhandled the woman, identified as Bliss Causby, and threw her out of the bar. The woman shared her ordeal on Instagram, where she shared the video of the episode and wrote, “Last weekend I went out to a bar after dinner to play pool with friends... I was standing next to my table drinking a beer and a lady security cop asked me to leave for not having on my mask... I questioned her and she became very aggressive and pushed me...I told her not to put her hands on me that I would leave and this happened.. she threw me down and dragged me across the bar on the floor like an animal..what this video taken by a bystander @barstoolmocs does not show is that she proceeded to punch me in the face and head and kick me..."
