Dear @FedWayPD why does this POS Breanna Straus still have a job? It’s pathetic that you’re investigating her little video here but she’s not even on administrative leave. Do we need to make you Twitter famous for your stupidity & hers? #BreannaStraus pic.twitter.com/qxyYpndipm

The officer, Breanna Straus quickly removed the video from her TikTok account, but Reddit user u/Jaamac2025 was able to save the clip and spread it across the internet again. In a now-viral post, social media users are disgusted with the video which sparked more conversation about this officer’s behavior.
“If we’re driving on the freeway in our police car, get the f—- out of the way,” she says in the TikTok video. “I can go 90 miles an hour, you can’t. You can’t do that. So get the f—- out of the way. If us officers stay behind you long enough, we can find a reason to pull you over.” The officer says while sitting in a police car in uniform.
Many social media users quickly slammed the police department after the video began to surface again, with one user tweeting ‘Dear @FedWayPD why does this POS Breanna Straus still have a job? It’s pathetic that you’re investigating her little video here but she’s not even on administrative leave. Do we need to make you Twitter famous for your stupidity & hers? #BreannaStraus.”
Also, another user jumped in requesting for her law enforcement certification to be revoked. “You can file a complaint with the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission to try to get her law enforcement certification revoked so she can no longer be a cop here.”
