Sorry for the officer's injury. This woman is a menace to society. No leniency please.

Just surprised at how long it took for backup to arrive. I would think the officer called it in at least at the point where she backed into his vehicle.

Good she's off the streets. Amazing list of warrants and felonies in, looks like, three different counties.

People like this are unfortunately far too common. Society is raising a generation of people who have low expectations on life, low morals and don't want to change. How we as society are doing this has to be asked. Why do some people have such low expectations is a mystery?

Giving serious thought to these questions has to be done. Why do some people turn to this type of lifestyle? Is there something in their upbringing that causes it? Is it lack of parenting, role models, ambition, work ethics, or what? Obviously government handouts is not going to turn them around. It is too easy to grow up without paying heed to adult responsibilities and this is the outcome.

Something has to change.
