#1 Takes one to know one. She certainly looks black to me. I notice the police officer didn't refer to her as "one drunk ni**er bi**h" which he easily could have.

#2 Very, very well trained and astute police officer. Her racial taunting and insults were to no avail. He knew he had her on the cam and wasn't about to get into an altercation with her which would end up with legal action.

#3 This lady needs to lose her cushy judge job. To think of all the idiot judges and lawyers who hold power over the rest of us, is scary.

#4 This lady needs to lose her cushy judge job.
All our masters are human. They need to be riminded of that from time to time. She, and all others who can be convicted should be punished with maximum severity pour l'encouragement d' les autres

#6 She should have spent more time being a judge and less time being black.

#7 We have to wait a few more generations for that to happen. It's a big chip.

#8 Knowing the video and audio were running, the cops must've loved every minute of this.
Yeah. Keep digging, ya honor...

#9 Looks like she will at least face the music...

The council scheduled a hearing on the charges Feb. 9 at 10 a.m. in the Legislative Office Building in Hartford.

The charges are that she violated canons of judicial conduct:

"by willfully using disparaging and demeaning language to law enforcement officers while they were acting in their official capacity, thereby failing to observe high standards of conduct."

"by willfully directing racially inappropriate language to law enforcement officers while they were acting in their official capacity, thereby failing to act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary."

"by willfully using disparaging and demeaning language to law enforcement officers while they were acting in their official capacity, thereby failing to act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary."

"by willfully invoking her position as a judicial officer in an effort to influence and intimidate law enforcement officers while they were acting in their official capacity, thereby failing to uphold the integrity and independence of the judiciary."

The fifth charge relates to the facts of the drunken driving arrest: "engaging in conduct that caused her to be arrested."

#10 When it's a "brotha or sistah" using these terms, it is completely acceptable.

sarcasm off :-)

#11 why am i not shocked at all by a minority appointee making a ass of themselves and demonstrating that they were there because of 'Identity Politics' rather than as the best for the job.

she brings disgrace on all black people everywhere. guess you can take the B___h out of the Hood, but not the Hood out of the B___h.

#12 Cofield apologized Dec. 8 at Superior Court in Manchester for sideswiping a state police car with her BMW, and was accepted into an alcohol education program. If she successfully completes the program, the charges driving under the influence and failure to drive in the proper lane will be dismissed.

If you read the full article, you will see that she blew 2x the legal limit, sideswiped a statie cruiser, but if she watches a "Blood on the Asphalt" film strip she keeps her license and charges dismissed.

I could not find any reference to party affiliation in the article; however, the fact that she's not charged w/hate speech may give us a clue.

#14 A positive breathalyzer test and a tape of her making an ass of herself while being busted--yep, her legal career is over.

#15 I dunno about that. It's Connecticut.

#16 Bound to be a future for her in the US Senate, outspoken, drunken black female attorney and all.

#17 Yeah, Connecticut's iffy...
"I take full resposibilities for my actions and apologize to the officers."
Can I go now, peasants?

#18 It all depends on how the law is phrased. In some locations, an officer technically cannot be offended no matter how offensive the speech is. (However, if some delicate flower of a private citizen overhears her gangsta rap audition, that could be another story....)

#19 I doubt her carrer is over . there have been quite a few judges the last couple of years who have had altercations and drunken driving charges aginst them. Plus she will be absolved of the DUI if she completes the class like any of the rest of us would even be offered such an arrangement

#20 They should kick her out of the judge's job due to her gross violations of judicial ethics.

But, as you say - this is Connecticut....
