694:. This is documentation of a viral incident that led to legislation. It has implications for the use of body cameras and about abuse of authority. The subject's apology appears appropriately. I also cannot stomach calling these events a "tertiary involvement in a traffic stop". What does "tertiary" help here, except someone's spin. The word confuses. I also have doubts noticing you'd feature more savory (at least least derisive) quotes by the subject (you pick "a friend of the mayor" and "commissioner" when in fact she also said "shut the fuck up" and said they had "ruined PHD student days" because they "couldn't put a sentence together"). We are not here to misrepresent the nature of the viral video, which appears to be more abusive than you let on. You'd pick choice quotes, but somehow miss the most disturbing ones. Odd. Finally, your own editing history does not suggest a deeply committed Wikipedian. Shows up with a sparkly spin. No, I cannot accept your good faith credentials. This is reasonable coverage of a viral event that had both political and legal implications. This woman may have done exceptional things in her life, to the benefit of many. She also did this, which evoked outrage on a wide scale. We do explain such events on Knowledge, in language that isn't tepid or misleading.
635:. UNDUE generally describes giving more weight than warranted to fringe viewpoints or minor incidences. This is not a fringe viewpoint. And, while it might be a minor incident in the grand panoply of news, it was not a minor incident in the life of Caren Turner, as it led to her receiving more media coverage than the rest of her career did combined, it led to her resignation from the highest appointed office she held, and it resulted in the enactment of new legislation in New Jersey. An RS also named the incident one of the "twelve biggest news moments of 2018" in the state of New Jersey. While this does take up a large portion of the article, DUE/UNDUE is not measured by word count. The word count present is that which is necessary to fairly and accurately communicate the complexity and nuance of the situation.
657:", have no place in the article and certainly do not help "communicate the complexity and nuance of the situation"...not that there is any complexity or nuance to the situation, which is exactly my point. The news rated the VIRAL VIDEO one of the biggest moments in NJ, not the fact somebody had license plate tags out of date or that their mother tried to intervene. This is a BLP, not an article about a vial video - and it doesn't matter how viral the video went...it doesn't deserve to be more than 50% of a BLP if it's not jumping over the Grand Canyon on a minibike.

611:"In 2018 New Jersey police released the footage of an incident wherein Turner confronted police who had impounded a relative's vehicle for lack of insurance and current registration tags. Turner had told the officers she was "a friend of the mayor" and insisted on being referenced as "Commissioner" by the officers, while asking the officers to explain their decision. Turner later apologised for her behavior and resigned from the Port Authority board, after facing fierce criticism for her intervention."

Also, how about not newbie-baiting as a general guideline, hm? That said, I agree with most of your recent edits to improve the article; more is still needed of course, but a good start.

If instead a commissioner abuses people for impounding a vehicle operating with expired tabs, perhaps because she feels entitled to due to her position, that's

I think that might come down to a difference of how we weigh things; I would consider myself to have chosen the MOST DAMNING quotes she made, not the least.

The traffic stop is her key claim to notability. Otherwise she's just a mid-level state commissioner. Thus, I think it should be both in the lede and in its own section. I know we don't want to focus on people at their worst moments, but IMHO her career isn't why people are going to visit the
