Upstate NY pols want hostile DA who refused to stop for speeding, called cop ‘a–hole’ to be investigated by AG James: ‘Erodes public trust’

A hostile upstate New York district attorney who was caught on bodycam footage calling a police officer “an a–hole” after he tried to pull her over for speeding may soon have more to worry about than local authorities.
The Rochester City Council wants a state inquiry into Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley’s belligerent conduct — and sent a letter to Attorney General Letitia James Saturday asking her to investigate the situation.
“Recent body camera footage, shared by the Webster Police Department, has raised significant concerns regarding Ms. Doorley’s behavior during a traffic stop in Webster, New York,” reads the letter, which was signed by all nine city council members.
“This incident has led us to question her fitness to serve as District Attorney, and we believe an investigation by your office is warranted.”
The lawmakers said that public officials are “held to the highest standards of ethics, accountability and respect for the law,” and that Doorley’s behavior “appears to violate these standards.”
“Such behavior undermines the credibility and integrity of our justice system and erodes public trust,” they wrote.
