The shocking bodycam footage released by the Laurel Police Department exposes the brazen disregard for law and order displayed by 28-year-old Kai DeBerry-Bostick, a former college cheerleader and self-proclaimed “honor student” who chose reckless violence over basic compliance. The video, which has since gone viral, captures the moment DeBerry-Bostick rips down police barriers, plows her car into an officer, and nearly mows down pedestrians—all because she “couldn’t be late to work.” The liberal media may rush to paint her as a victim, but the footage tells a different story: one of selfish entitlement and dangerous criminal behavior.
In the video, DeBerry-Bostick can be heard frantically yelling, “I need to get out, I need to get out,” before snapping at the officer, “I gotta go.” When the calm and professional officer offers to call her a cab—a reasonable solution—she dismisses him with contempt. Her response? “I got to go to work! What do you want me to do?” as if her job justified endangering lives. This is the epitome of the “rules don’t apply to me” mentality that leftist activists often excuse. But law enforcement doesn’t have that luxury.
The footage shows DeBerry-Bostick defiantly jumping into her car, shoving past the officer, and accelerating into a crowded street fair. Pedestrians, including a man pushing a stroller, barely escape as her vehicle barrels within feet of them. The officer, now in a life-or-death situation, screams for her to stop—“Stop your car!”—but she ignores him, forcing him to intervene physically. The result? Minor injuries to the cop, a panicked crowd, and DeBerry-Bostick finally being dragged from her car and cuffed.
Despite her so-called “honor student” background—Bowie State University graduate, cheerleader, Zeta Delta sorority member—her actions prove that privilege and education don’t equate to decency. The Laurel Police Department confirmed no civilians were hurt, but only because of their swift response. Meanwhile, liberal outlets will likely downplay her assault charges (which include resisting arrest and reckless endangerment) to fit their anti-police narrative. But let’s be clear: this wasn’t a “mistake.” It was a deliberate assault on an officer and a terrifying threat to public safety.
