Jenni Monet, a self-styled “award-winning journalist” and Native American activist, claimed she was racially profiled both at a liquor store and by responding police officers and was the victim of police brutality. But released surveillance video from the night of her arrest for aggravated DWI in Santa Fe, New Mexico, captures the other side of the story, which includes Monet making obscene gestures at liquor store employees and screaming obscenities at law enforcement.

Court documents obtained by KRQE News 13 say the journalist was turned away by a liquor store in Santa Fe when she tried to buy two bottles of wine while allegedly appearing to be drunk.

According to surveillance video obtained by the news network, Monet pulls up to the store and goes inside, but is refused service. "She then went back out to her car before she went back inside, and started screaming and making obscene gestures toward the staff."

The woman said she was racially profiled by staff at the liquor store. "How were they racially profiling you is what I'm trying to get at?" the deputy asked.

"Because I'm a brown woman," she responded. "Do you not see that?"

"I'm not walking any f***ing line for you. You hear me?" she is heard yelling on video. "I am not walking any f***ing line for you."

As the officers cuff Monet, she repeatedly screams, "Police brutality!"

Then more insults and accusations come: "You f***ing fat-fingered f***!" and "You f***ing racist motherf***er. You f***ing white supremacist!"
