New in PJ Media:
You most likely haven’t heard of Maria Bucci, and that means that Maria Bucci is not happy with you. Maria Bucci just happens to be the chairwoman of the Democratic committee in Cranston, Rhode Island. Before that, she served on the Cranston City Council from 2004 to 2008, and in 2024, she ran for a seat in the Rhode Island House of Representatives, but lost.
Loss or no, all that means that she is very, very important, and all you plebians should show her due respect. A police officer recently dared to act as if she was just an ordinary citizen, and thereby earned her white-hot wrath.
Fox News reported Wednesday that Bucci “was captured on police bodycam video asking an officer, ‘You know who I am?’ before her arrest during a recent traffic stop.” One thing you can count on: leftists behave like leftists everywhere. They claim to be the defenders of the common people, the voice of the voiceless, but they are every bit as elitist and entitled as the Soviet apparatchiks who gorged on lobsters in their sumptuous vacation homes while the common folk had to suffer through the poverty and misery that the dictatorship of the proletariat really involves.
Bucci is “now facing a misdemeanor DUI charge following a traffic stop on Dec. 18 in East Greenwich.” But she tried to pull rank and get out of the whole thing, demanding that the officer pay her due obeisance. “You know who I am right?,” Bucci told an officer of the East Greenwich police, but she was already in a good bit of hot water, as the officer had already “said he smelled alcohol in her breath and described her driving as erratic.”
In response to Bucci using the too-big-to-arrest excuse, the officer responded coolly: “I don’t know who you are, miss. You can start throwing out names and start doing out what you need to do, it’s not going to work with me, I’m telling you right now, I’m not the guy for that.”
The quixotic public servant — not Bucci, but the real public servant — attempted “to lead Bucci through a series of sobriety tests.” Bucci, however, was having none of it. At one point she says: “Call my husband right now, and call the attorney general and everybody else in town, cause this is disgusting, God forbid I was a black person, I’d be arrested.”
Yeah, because everyone knows that Jim Crow laws are alive and well in Rhode Island, and that Bull Connor is just waiting with his dogs and fire hoses for one of the state’s terrified black residents even to think about stepping out of line. That’s leftist mythology, and Bucci seems to be a down-the-line true believer.
There is more. Read the rest here.

When you rely on “you know who I am, don’t you?” You’re not only a raging narcissist but a complete Imbecile. It’s as bad as reciting your college degree credentials to impress people
Sam Topeka says
Too be fair, Ms. Bucci has a fine mustache,
somehistory says
She does. Could she be trying to *transition*?

Made me laugh! Yes, it’s only fair to acknowledge her fine point!
Thanks for being a beacon of fairness to us all.

Whenever officials – (D) or (R) or (L) or anything else – try pulling rank, that should pile on whatever they’re already being pursued for, as a felony. That should put the skids on such behavior
WPM says
Nothing get a cop more hot under the collar then a drunk pulling the old you do not know who you are screwing with attitude. I could picture this bitch on camera slurring her words ,having trouble not stumbling getting out of her car. Then refusing to take a roadside sobriety test.

Recently, ihan elmi’s son was speeding along and was stopped by an ICE agent….for speeding, which the agents are allowed to do.
elmi got on her high camel and raised a ruckus, claiming that the agent questioned her son in the parking lot of a Target store…because of his being a somali.
On an old Andy Griffith show, Barney stopped a car for speeding and got the “you know who I am routine.”
The answer should be, Let me see your license and registration, and I’ll know exactly what to write on your ticket.
A state senator was killed in a road accident. It has been determined that she was solely at fault for being inebriated and speeding when she hit the back of a truck stopped on the highway.
James Lincoln says
What really bothered Maria Bucci was that the police officer actually didn’t “know who she was”.
Apparently, she felt that every police officer in Rhode Island should have “known who she was”.
somehistory says
Didn’t know and didn’t care that he didn’t know.
OLD GUY says
My hat is off to this police officer for doing his job and all law enforcement officers for doing theirs. These men and women have to deal with these fools and a lot of real serious criminals daily. Please be safe.
Michael says
There’s something wrong with her face; seems warped or twisted somehow. I’m thinking it reflects what’s going on inside.

Another Democrat Shows What Entitled Elitists Leftists Are
………………………………………………
So minor Democratic politicians get to drink and drive and endanger the pubic–and are enraged at the police is you do not? And how is enforcing DUI laws–on a white person, no less–supposedly racist?
