"I've become fearful to live my life," King told the newspaper. "I would rather stay home. I've become afraid of the people who are supposed to protect me and take care of me."
In one of two videos, Officer Patrick Spradlin is heard talking to King, who was pulled over for speeding, about race while driving her to jail.
"Why are so many people afraid of black people?" Spradlin asks.
King replies that she is also trying to figure that out.
"I can give you a really good idea why it might be that way," he said. "Violent tendencies."
Spradlin goes on to say that "I don't blame" white people for being afraid because of violence in the black community. "Some of them, because of their appearance and whatnot, some of them are very intimidating," he says.
The newspaper identified King as an elementary school teacher. Her attorney did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
