Saw a local FL news story today of a white cop saving an infant black baby's life.

If only the natiomal media gave a frick about the good stories.

Media spin - It was his civic duty to save that child.

Also "there were no speed limit signs" is a pretty fricking stupid thing to say to being told you were going 70mph. Unless you are on the interstate, the speed limit is not 70.
You are correct. In rural Texas, it is definitely not 70 ... probably 75. Cannot say about Virginia or SC.

This shite has to stop. I hesitate to say it should be a crime falsely accuse somoene of bad behavior, but on the other hand these folks are ruining careers in many cases.

Too bad the headline wasn't accurate and truthful....such as "Racist black woman falsely accuses white cop of racism"

Start suing these people for defamation of character, and some of it may stop.

Lets just say the cop was an a-hole in this situation it doesn't make him a racist.

Not all assholes are racist, but all racist are assholes.

My comment was not aimed at you.

But while we are at it, how would you have done better? Or, how was the cop an a-hole?

I hope she spends money on an attorney, shows up to court, and gets promptly laughed out of the courtroom.

“This is what we go through....”

If we define “we” as being “every speeder in America,” then I will agree with her.

Sure, the officer could have done a few things better from a communications perspective, but he was neither rude, condescending nor blatantly racist.

For example, he could have explained that the signature is simply a means of providing evidence that she received a copy of the ticket.

He was wrong when he said that she was REQUIRED to sign the ticket. He could have explained that the signature is actually a courtesy, to avoid the necessity of arresting every speeder and immediately taking them before a magistrate.
quote:

Ma’am, you certainly have the option of not signing this ticket. If you choose to exercise that option, it is my duty to place you under arrest and to deliver you to the magistrate at this time. If that becomes necessary, the department will also be required to immediately impound this vehicle, rather than leaving it beside the road.
But he did pretty well. I would give his performance a solid “B.”

Yep, I was shocked and pleased to see a posted sign for 75 mph on a two-lane road in Texas.

Yet it's mostly 65mph on the interstate between Beaumont and Houston.

One of the biggest flaws of this software is that you MUST reply to another post, rather than just adding a new post to the thread.
