Best Video of the Week: Watch Cop Wreck Entitled Gov’t Employee’s Night After She Thinks She and Friend Have Get Out of Jail Free Cards

“You’re going to regret this!”

That was the warning a Rhode Island prosecutor gave police officers as she was being handcuffed outside a restaurant on Thursday.

The entire episode was captured on bodycam footage that police released Monday, and it is must-see.

In the most satisfying takedowns of raw entitlement you’ll probably see this week, Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Hogan Flanagan and her friend, Veronica Hannan, were asked to leave a Newport restaurant after being deemed “unwanted” at the establishment, WJAR reported.

Police tried to give them every chance to walk away peacefully.

An officer urged, “They want you to leave. Let’s just leave.”

Instead, Flanagan — a Democrat — tried to bully her way into remaining in someone else’s private business and dropped her credentials just short of a dozen times.

“I want you to turn your bodycam off,” she barked at one cop. “Protocol is that you turn it off if a citizen requests it, so turn it off.”

“We’re not trespassing. You haven’t notified us that we’re trespassing,” she demanded of an officer she didn’t know would be arresting her moments later.

That was the moment the patient officer informed her she was trespassing at the Clarke Cooke House restaurant just before 10 p.m., according to a time stamp on the video.

Then she began chanting her job title like it was a magic shield:

“I’m an AG. I’m an AG.”

The cop’s response?

“Good for you,” he said. “I don’t give a s***.”

The officer didn’t flinch because what does being an assistant attorney general have to do with anything?

“Buddy, you’re going to regret this. You’re going to regret it,” Flanagan later threatened from the back of a cruiser, as if the reality that she was not untouchable was sinking in.

Her friend wasn’t much better, slipping out of handcuffs, cursing at officers, and even trying to block the police cruiser door with her feet.

Both were eventually carted off to jail, probably to the relief of everyone who had to deal with them that evening.

Plenty of people act like jerks when they’re dealing with police — but Flanagan was not an average citizen, which makes this clip both glorious and alarming.

She lied about legal rules. She tried to intimidate a police officer, and she tried to use her job like it was a get out of jail free card.

But the officers didn’t blink.

They cuffed her anyway, because — as Democrats so often love to profess in public forums — no one is above the law.
