Driver to deputy in traffic stop: ‘No wonder you people get shot’

A Florida woman's response to being pulled over earlier this month is being criticized after a video showed her telling a deputy, "No wonder you people get shot."

The driver, 62-year-old Joy Feinberg, was allegedly driving 51 mph in a 20-mph school zone, according to a statement from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Rick Bradshaw told the Palm Beach Post the officer issued a $606 ticket for speeding in a school zone. 

On Wednesday, the police department posted a one-minute dash-cam video of the interaction as well as a 15-minute version. After Feinberg is heard "begging" in the video, she tells the officer, "You know what? No wonder you people get shot. You're absolute a------s."

The officer is heard replying, "OK, thank you, ma'am. I appreciate that."

Later on in the video she calls the officer a "double a-----e" after she's told she'll need to take another driver's test.

The sheriff's office tweeted on Wednesday, "Keeping kids safe is a top priority."
