A moment's googling reveals she is a former (?) b-movie actress who was in such classics as 'Vice Squad Vixens.' Suspect the 'reserve police' job was just to spice up her resume and the video a bid to create 'controversy' and somehow get her the attention her acting skills have not.

After watching 30 seconds I feel dumber. I don't think I could watch the whole thing and still be able to add 2+2.

I don't know why the commenters are bringing the first amendment into it.
"Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech"
It doesn't say "You can be an idiot and have your job protected."

She's an unpaid volunteer, so it's not like there's any real issue about being "fired" or suspended with or without pay. As a cyclist, I can't decide how to take her except as an idiot/ If she's equally idiotic and hateful about everybody and everything, then I take this as (p*ss poor) satire. However, if bicycles uniquely got dumped on, than it's different.
To me she's a wannabe shock jock. I don't blame the PD from distancing themselves from this nonsense. I'd be more forgiving if she were actually funny in any way, but whether this is supposed to be satire or not it clearly misses the mark. Howard Stern, look what you've spawned.

She made the mistake of doing it period. Because, To keep her on the force, regardless of paid or volunteer. Would leave a black mark on the city.
