A traffic stop took an ugly turn last month when the driver unleashed a racist tirade on a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy.
The April 23 exchange in San Dimas was recorded on the deputy’s personal body camera, which captured the woman calling him a “murderer” and a “Mexican racist,” after he pulled her over for using her cellphone while driving.
“You’re always going to be a Mexican,” she can be heard saying to the deputy, who has not been identified. “You’ll never be white, which is what you really want to be. You want to be white.”

LOS ANGELES – A traffic stop took an ugly turn last month when the driver unleashed a racist tirade on a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy.
The April 23 exchange in San Dimas was recorded on the deputy’s personal body camera, which captured the woman calling him a “murderer” and a “Mexican racist,” after he pulled her over for using her cellphone while driving.
Footage showing the moment a woman berated a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy during a traffic stop last month, referring to him as a “Mexican racist” and telling him he would “never be white,” is going viral.
In an edited clip of body camera footage from the stop, which has racked up over 5.7 million views on Twitter, the deputy could be seen approaching the car of the unidentified woman, whose face is blurred.
The officer, who has also not been identified, told the woman at the start of the clip that he was pulling her over for holding her phone while driving.
