      who is most likely to seek out that power?

      It’s not just that assholes want power.

      Having power actually causes neurological changes that reduce your capacity for empathy, making your brain more similar to someone born with psychopathy.

    Officer: Why am I an asshole?
    DA: I’m the Monroe County DA

    She also offered a lame apology. I’m sure she would have skewered someone else who acted like that, including charging them for running from the police.

    She sucks. I hope she’s going to be pushed out of office.

    The apology video is pure gold, she reads it with this “can we just get this off the agenda already” look.
