German politician (Green) gives Hitler salute after being stopped by police while under the influence

A German politician from the centre-left Green party gave the Hitler salute when she was pulled over by the police for an alcohol test. […] Jutta Boden was found to be driving under the influence and had 1.34 permille of alcohol in her blood. The woman has since resigned.
Boden was a district councilor of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, a well-known district in Berlin.

KISSmyOS,

woman drives while being completely wasted and then gets pissy at the cops stopping her
this is now international news because she’s member of the Green party (who are held to a higher standard) and was dumb enough to use the Hitler salute to protest being arrested

manucode,

Nobody should ever drink and drive or do the Hitler salute. And any politician of any party who does something like that should resign immediately. Whether politicians of certain other parties would actually resign, is another question though. Mr “I’m the friendly face of national socialism” is still in the Bundestag at least.

surewhynotlem,

Resign? Over here in America she’d be promoted.

No she wouldn’t.

If she made fun of the cops in America they’d had shot her.

Marxist_Bear,

Nah, she’s white. I’ve seen cops get guns pulled on them by white people and they still try to deescalate rather than shoot a cishet white adult.
