Federal Way officer receives suspension for TikTok video

Video at link.

A Federal Way officer who posted a controversial TikTok video last month received a suspension after the department found two conduct violations, according to the Federal Way Police Department (FWPD).

Officer Breanna Straus is seen sitting inside a vehicle while in uniform in the video. Straus urges people to move out of the way when officers are driving behind them.

“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 video was first obtained and published by KIRO 7, which censored Straus’s expletives. In the original video that the Mirror requested from the department, the officer’s expletives are not bleeped out.
