00:00 Not relaxed at all.
00:02 No, no it's not.
00:04 No it's not.
00:05 Welcome to WatchMojo.
00:07 And today we're looking at infamous moments when a rude, entitled, and belligerent person
00:12 had their horrible behavior captured on a police body camera.
00:16 Will not have it. Do you understand that? I will not have it.
00:21 Island Owner.
00:23 Those lights and sirens mean nothing.
00:25 Alcohol, driving, and entitlement are a super bad mix.
00:30 As Stephanie Bloodworth found out in February 2022.
00:34 She was pulled over by the police under suspicion of a DUI in Duck Key, Florida.
00:39 Yet when the cop approached, Bloodworth ducked back into her car, telling the officer she owns the island before driving off.
00:48 You got me f***ed up bro. I own this island.
00:50 Actively resisting.
00:51 When backup arrived and the cops got Bloodworth under arrest, she yelled she didn't know why this was happening.
00:57 As she was on the phone with her father and kicking the cops.
01:01 Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this?
01:05 Bloodworth then switches the island ownership by mentioning it's her father's.
01:10 When her dad arrived, he didn't help his daughter in the way she was hoping.
01:14 Instead, he admonished Bloodworth's behavior as the cuffs were slapped on.
01:18 Ballot Bellow.
01:20 Karens are always shocked by the consequences of their actions.
01:24 In July 2023, Beth Mazzaroni attended the Chatham County Board of Elections meeting in Georgia.
01:31 During the public comment section, which usually involves discussing what's been covered,
01:36 Mazzaroni decided it was the time to rant about electoral concerns.
01:41 Discussing feelings of distrust in Chatham County's voting machines, calling for them to be replaced with paper ballots.
01:47 She was asked to leave the podium several times, but reportedly refused to and used free speech as a defense.
01:54 When the cops arrived and attempted to escort Mazzaroni outside, she fell to the floor and wouldn't get up.
02:00 So they picked up Mazzaroni without dignity and carried her outside.
02:04 She says this experience was demeaning.
02:07 Very demeaning for a lady in a skirt to be hauled out the way I was hauled out.
02:11 Police didn't arrest her for her disturbance, but the embarrassment of the footage was probably punishment enough.
02:17 My civil rights was violated and also I was harassed and manhandled.
02:24 Poolside Karen.
02:26 Now the latest woman to be dubbed a Karen for giving people a hard time going about their daily lives.
02:31 In 2023, when this incident initially went viral,
02:35 Claire Featherman claimed the footage had been altered to make her look bad and racist.
02:41 But as the later body cam showed, no, no, it was not.
02:45 They come here, they don't belong here. They don't pay for this pool. We pay for all the amenities.
02:50 At a Lakewood, Colorado apartment complex, Featherman was livid that the Hispanic family was enjoying the swimming pool
02:57 and having a party on a sunny July 4th weekend.
03:00 Believing the family was breaking the complex rules, she went on a wide-eyed rant.
03:04 Calling them trash and other such insults, some with racial overtones.
03:09 Even people who were with Featherman tried to stop her to no avail.
03:13 When the police arrived, the body cam footage showed Featherman admitting she wasn't usually racist.
03:19 And I'm not usually racist at all. But I'll tell you what, when they come in, and they come in for their party,
03:24 they're trashy, they're nasty, and they don't belong here. I pay for this.
03:28 Plane Problem.
03:29 Planes and Karens are apparently a horrible mix for staff and passengers alike.
03:34 In 2021, Jacqueline Fleury was on a plane at Salt Lake City International Airport when she was kicked off about something.
03:42 She was asked numerous times to leave. It caused delays in the flight. They had to deplane the entire airplane.
03:49 Seemingly, as the body cam showed, she was furious over her assigned seating.
03:53 All the passengers had to be removed to get Fleury off.
03:57 At the gate, she continued yelling at staff, forcing the police to intervene.
04:02 "They caused a disturbance, they have deplaned a plane." "No, I did not cause a disturbance!"
04:06 "Jacqueline." "They f***ing told me I would get an eye hole!"
04:09 "Jacqueline." "Alright, dude, give me my eye—" "Come here."
04:12 Even after being refunded the ticket, which was nice, Fleury wouldn't calm down and used racial slurs.
04:19 The cops cuffed the problematic passenger and escorted her out, where she kicked an officer when they put her in their vehicle.
04:26 Adding to her growing list of charges.
04:29 "Jacqueline Fleury was booked on three misdemeanor charges over the weekend.
04:33 Disorderly conduct, assaulting an officer, and interfering with an arrest."
04:38 Neighborhood F1 racer.
04:40 "If it wasn't for the officers stopping Ashley Morgan at the Coffee Pot Turkey Trot, it would have been a tragic Thanksgiving."
04:46 In 2022, the annual Thanksgiving 5K race, the Turkey Trot, was taking place in St. Petersburg, Florida.
04:54 Well, Ashley Morgan wasn't going to let this event ruin her drive.
04:59 After being pulled over for driving recklessly, she drove off.
05:02 Morgan approached the area cordoned off for the race, attempting to skirt around police cars.
05:08 "Officers say Ashley Morgan was driving close to 60 miles per hour."
05:12 Thankfully, Morgan was stopped before reaching where the runners were.
05:15 However, the cops had a rough time dealing with Morgan as she refused to comply and struck her head against the vehicle multiple times.
05:23 She was also heard on body cam footage claiming the police were treating her like a non-white person in the wrong neighborhood.
05:30 "No, you're definitely treating me like a colored person."
05:34 Morgan was also pepper sprayed twice to get her under control during her arrest.
05:39 Congressional Karen.
05:41 In 2022, Officer Julia Beskin pulled over a vehicle for speeding and texting while driving in Sarasota, Florida.
05:49 "I was at Euclid and Fruit Bowl."
05:51 "You don't need to point at the officer."
05:52 "I'm not pointing at you, I'm pointing in the direction where it was."
05:55 Martin Hyde, who was running for public office at the time, was the driver.
05:59 He made sure she knew that with the classic variant of "Do you know who I am?"
06:04 Hyde immediately showcased his condescending attitude that progressively got worse, demonstrating no respect for the cop whatsoever.
06:12 "Can I see your registration, please?"
06:13 "You're not going to give me your registration, sir?"
06:17 "Can you arrest me?"
06:18 He accused Beskin of being rude, she wasn't, and blamed it on her Russian immigrant status.
06:24 The cop was born in Latvia before moving to the States.
06:27 "Do you know Russian immigrant status that makes you treat people like this?"
06:31 "I'm 10-4, 10-6."
06:33 "4-2."
06:34 Hyde put out an apology after the incident went viral.
06:37 However, he ended up losing in the congressional primary race.
06:40 "I'd like to think that I'll learn from it. I'd like to think other people might learn something from it, too."
06:45 Hockey Hell.
06:47 For over a decade, Alex Galchenyuk had enjoyed a career in the NHL with several teams.
06:53 But that all came to an abrupt end in 2023.
06:56 The police arrived at a scene that showed Galchenyuk sitting in the passenger seat of a car after crashing into a street sign in Scottsdale, Arizona.
07:05 "Police say Galchenyuk was heavily intoxicated when they arrested him."
07:08 His father allegedly moved him from the driver's seat to hide the fact that Galchenyuk had been drunk driving.
07:14 After getting put into the cop car, Galchenyuk went off on a racist and violent rant, threatening the lives and bloodline of the officer's families.
07:23 "You understand I'll chop all of your f***ing throat, right?"
07:26 "What'd you say?"
07:27 "Good."
07:28 Due to this, the center was released by the Arizona Coyotes, and he pleaded guilty to one charge.
07:34 Galchenyuk then entered the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program.
07:39 "Drop me off right f***ing here and all your families will live forever."
07:43 "I'm not going to let you do that."
07:45 "I'm not going to let you do that."
07:46 "I'm not going to let you do that."
07:47 "I'm not going to let you do that."
07:48 "I'm not going to let you do that."
07:49 "I'm not going to let you do that."
07:50 "I'm not going to let you do that."
07:51 "I'm not going to let you do that."
07:52 "I'm not going to let you do that."
07:53 "I'm not going to let you do that."
07:54 "I'm not going to let you do that."
07:55 "I'm not going to let you do that."
07:56 "I'm not going to let you do that."
07:57 "I'm not going to let you do that."
07:58 "I'm not going to let you do that."
07:59 "I'm not going to let you do that."
08:00 "I'm not going to let you do that."
08:23 "I'm not going to let you do that."
08:49 "I'm not going to let you do that."
09:18 "I'm not going to let you do that."
09:19 "I'm not going to let you do that."
09:20 "I'm not going to let you do that."
09:21 "I'm not going to let you do that."
09:22 "I'm not going to let you do that."
09:23 "I'm not going to let you do that."
09:24 "I'm not going to let you do that."
09:25 "I'm not going to let you do that."
09:26 "I'm not going to let you do that."
09:27 "I'm not going to let you do that."
09:28 "I'm not going to let you do that."
09:29 "I'm not going to let you do that."
09:30 "I'm not going to let you do that."
09:31 "I'm not going to let you do that."
09:32 "I'm not going to let you do that."
09:33 "I'm not going to let you do that."
09:34 "I'm not going to let you do that."
10:02 Police Brutality?
10:03 In 2021, Terry Wright had a busy week in Texas.
10:07 First, she went to a Galveston bank and refused to wear a mask or leave the property.
10:12 When the police intervened, Wright attempted to teach the cop about the law.
10:16 "You have to abide by the rules and you have to have a mask on."
10:19 "This is a state."
10:20 "It's not.
10:21 Businesses have the right to refuse service."
10:23 The officer eventually had enough and arrested her in the bank.
10:27 During it, Wright screamed out it was "police brutality," only to have customers deadpan
10:32 respond that it was not.
10:34 "Not relaxed at all."
10:35 "No, it's not."
10:38 This infuriated her, so she called them sheep.
10:42 Six days later, Wright had another run-in with the police after refusing to wear a mask
10:46 inside an Office Depot store in Texas City, where she was arrested once more.
10:51 "No, I'm trying to school you people.
10:54 I'm trying to school you people on my rights."
10:57 Wright was sentenced to 12 days in jail for her actions in the bank.
11:01 What's the most unusual or funniest police bodycam footage you've ever seen?
11:05 Let us know below.
11:06 "One phone call and you're dead.
11:07 Your whole f***ing bloodline is dead."
11:08 "Trollman pulled over to re-secure her and when he opened the back door, she punched
11:18 him in the face with the handcuffs and tried to flee."
11:20 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're looking at 10 times Karen's attacked cops.
11:26 "He swung back knowing he grabbed me because he didn't say anything.
11:29 I didn't know who it was."
11:30 For this list, we'll be looking at moments of the rudest and most entitled people that
11:34 attacked law enforcement officials, security guards, TSA agents, or other similar authority
11:40 figures, making their situations a million times worse.
11:44 What happened when you met a Karen in the wild?
11:46 Let us know below.
11:48 Cop Chomp In November 2018, the police arrived at an
11:52 address in Troy, Michigan to deal with an intoxicated Sylvia Hope Varelin.
11:57 "Talk about a bizarre night for Troy police officers.
12:00 This dash cam video allegedly shows Sylvia Varelin in an apparent drunken fight."
12:06 She had gotten inside her boyfriend's house, refused to leave, and taken jewelry belonging
12:11 to his late mother.
12:12 Immediately, Varelin began fighting the cops both physically and verbally.
12:16 After being bitten, kicked, and punched, the officers eventually arrested Varelin.
12:21 However, she asked them to remove a piece of hair from her face, but the cops were on
12:26 to her nibbling plan and refused.
12:36 At the station, she admitted that she had swallowed a pair of earrings, which were taken
12:41 back later at the hospital.
12:44 Gross.
12:45 Fair Fight Skipping out on a taxi fare is never a good
12:48 idea.
12:49 And in December 2016, Taiwanese securities broker Dina Hwang Chai-Yung did just that
12:55 in Singapore after having too much to drink and catching a lift back home.
13:00 But not on this driver's shift.
13:02 Chang Chek-Wee was recorded holding onto Hwang's bag as he called for help.
13:14 Well this angered Hwang, who attacked the driver.
13:16 When Chang let go, Hwang went into a restaurant to complain about the driver.
13:28 Another fight broke out, resulting in Hwang biting and striking a security guard.
13:39 After all that, she then napped outside the restaurant.
13:42 Until the police arrived.
13:43 In 2018, Hwang was sentenced to three weeks in jail and fined a thousand Singapore dollars.
13:50 Hostile at Harrods The pandemic really brought out all the Karens
13:55 in their droves.
13:56 In June 2021, a group of women were escorted out of the luxury shop Harrods in London,
14:02 England for not wearing a mask inside and allegedly getting aggressive when asked to
14:06 wear one.
14:12 Once outside, the women became hostile and got physical with the guards.
14:17 After a scuffle for a brief moment, it seemed like things had settled down and everyone
14:21 could go about their days in relative peace.
14:24 But no.
14:29 One of the women saw a gap and spat at a guard before sprinting off.
14:34 Grim.
14:35 Unfortunately for her, the mob of guards quickly caught up to her and restrained her until
14:39 the police arrived and arrested her.
14:46 Mace Maniac There's making the situation worse.
14:50 Then there's Karina Waymouth-Bell's reaction.
14:54 In July 2020, she was requested to pull over by the Idaho State Police on the I-84 after
15:00 driving erratically.
15:08 But Waymouth-Bell ignored that and kept going for a while before eventually stopping.
15:13 Instead of being shameful, she went full rage.
15:17 Waymouth-Bell stomped out of the car and aimed a can of mace at the trooper, who hid behind
15:21 his door.
15:24 As the dangerous driver tried to go back to her car, the trooper tased her, then slapped
15:29 the cuffs on.
15:30 After Waymouth-Bell was taken to the hospital to be assessed, she was charged with many
15:34 infractions, including eluding law enforcement, possessing marijuana, and assaulting an officer.
15:46 Cuffed Karen It should have been an easy incident for
15:50 Officer Jason Terrest in March 2015 after getting a call that a woman was behaving poorly
15:56 in Kingston, New York.
16:06 And it was… for a bit.
16:08 After slapping the handcuffs on Virginia Valdez, who allegedly broke a glass door at the bar
16:13 and putting her in the car to take her to the station, the detainee squeezed out of
16:17 the bracelets.
16:19 Then she hit Terrest in the face with the cuffs and attempted to escape.
16:26 While the cop had to be treated for his injuries, Valdez's plan didn't work and she was processed.
16:37 But she didn't make it easy by being hostile and trying to give a false identification.
16:51 But still, at least we got to see her mugshot.
16:54 Jonesing for Juice No one likes giving up their liquids when
16:58 heading off for a flight, but Micaiah Coleman's reaction was very OTT in April 2023.
17:12 At the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Coleman had her apple juice taken by TSA agents,
17:18 causing her to rant as she went through the bin to retrieve it.
17:22 But when agents blocked her, Coleman got onto a table and fought with the security staff
17:26 as they attempted to restrain her.
17:32 She gave one a concussion after elbowing the officer in the head.
17:36 Coleman also ripped the agent's clothing, punched one several times, and reportedly
17:40 bit another before she was detained.
17:43 Unsurprisingly, Coleman was arrested for her rampage.
17:51 In June, she was indicted on six counts.
17:55 Extinguisher Injustice Bailing on paying a restaurant bill is bad
17:59 enough, but Jennifer K Holder definitely escalated proceedings in January 2023 at the Hartsfield-Jackson
18:06 Atlanta International Airport in Georgia.
18:16 When security arrived after Holder tried to enter a secured door, she grabbed a fire extinguisher,
18:22 sprayed them, then went on a rampage through the airport, scattering it all over the place,
18:27 covering innocent bystanders.
18:34 This caused several people to need medical attention for respiratory issues.
18:38 Then when the cops arrived, they too got covered in foam during Holder's carnage.
18:47 However, even after arresting her, Holder wasn't done, as she allegedly kicked and
18:53 spat at the officers.
18:55 Unsurprisingly, she was charged with numerous crimes including battery and obstructing law
19:00 enforcement.
19:01 Sucker Punch It was meant to be a simple traffic stop for
19:04 Officer Patrick Cutler in Lincoln Park, Michigan in May 2017.
19:09 He pulled over a car, found the driver had an expired license, and attempted to arrest
19:14 her.
19:15 But the passenger, Kristen Campbell, wasn't having that, and got verbally abusive at Cutler.
19:30 With his patience gone, the cop went to arrest Campbell.
19:33 Dashcam footage showed her spinning around and punching him in the face, giving him a
19:37 black eye.
19:38 Uh-oh!
19:39 Cutler got Campbell to the ground, but she continued to struggle.
19:42 A bystander handed the cop his handcuffs that he had dropped in the brawl.
19:52 But still, Campbell kept resisting, causing Cutler to taser her three times.
19:58 She spent two days in jail and apologized for her behavior.
20:08 Country Girl In July 2019, an officer pulled over Deborah
20:12 Hamill's truck in Cashin, Oklahoma, due to broken taillights she had had for six months
20:18 and issued her an $80 fine.
20:20 Hamill pulled over for a busted taillight, the entire tailgate smashed in.
20:30 However, the driver argued against it, refusing to sign the ticket.
20:34 So the cop tried to arrest the 65-year-old who drove off.
20:38 Eventually, the officer caught up and dragged Hamill from the car to put the cuffs on.
20:43 However, she fought and booted him in the crotch.
20:50 With that, he tasered her.
20:52 Later, once emotions had calmed, the cop asked her why she struggled, and Hamill said it
20:57 was because she was a country girl.
21:02 In 2020, Hamill pleaded guilty to various charges and received a four-year deferred
21:19 sentence, alongside fines.
21:26 Literal Street Fight In June 2017, Carmen Mata had far too much
21:31 to drink and decided disrupting traffic at an intersection in Long Beach, California
21:36 was a swell idea.
21:38 She allegedly blocked cars, even jumping on them.
21:41 When the cop arrived to deal with it, Mata turned her vengeance from vehicles to the
21:45 law.
21:46 After being verbally abusive, Mata squared up to the officers as the cars rolled past.
21:52 Finding her inner Muhammad Ali, Mata dodged the cop's attempts to strike her with a
21:56 baton several times, which was pretty impressive.
22:01 Eventually, the officer got the upper hand and dragged her to the ground to arrest her,
22:07 as she continued insulting him before backup arrived.
22:10 Mata was unsurprisingly charged with several offenses, including resisting arrest.
22:35 (upbeat music)
