Boone County Sheriff Refutes Columbia Daily Tribune Column By Bill Clark

Boone County, MO – When Columbia Daily Tribune columnist Bill Clark wrote a piece attacking the Boone County Sheriff’s office, claiming “I’m lucky I didn’t get shot,” on a traffic stop, Sheriff Dwayne Carey released video of the traffic stop which shows the truth (video below.)



quote:

Bill Clark wrote the piece for the Columbia Daily Tribune, and the newspaper editors apparently approved it. In addition to claiming that he’s lucky he didn’t get shot, he claimed that he now knows, “how minority motorists feel,” and that he was subjected to “official arrogance.”

“I’ve just come to appreciate even more the words of those minorities when they speak of harassment and police arrogance. I had a good dose of arrogance on this evening and, in my rear view mirror, the image of the second officer out of the car, his hands ready in case I made the wrong move. My life seemed to be in danger.

Figures. He gets paid for writing his opinion. Wouldn't know the truth if it bit him in the arse.

Just watched the video, and surprise, the columnist is full of shite. He was just pissed because he got a ticket for failure to signal.

Side thought- Part of me thinks that's a pretty shitty ticket, but part of me wishes they'd do a full court press on that shite in Baton Rouge. So many frickers just don't do it, and all you have to do is move your finger two damned inches.

Sheriff with the mic drop! Love his writing about the situation too....

quote:

Did you ever see a point where Ol’ Clark’s life was in danger (other than when he cut in front of the truck)? What about that good dose of arrogance he received from the deputy who addressed him as sir and thanked him numerous times? How was he in the shoes of minorities as an elderly white male? Was he saying minorities don’t follow traffic laws or was he saying they are argumentative when stopped by law enforcement? I don’t know, but Ol’ Clark was guilty of both.

If he believes this is how minorities are treated, then minorities can be assured from this video that they will be treated professionally by Boone County deputies.”

Is it really a law that you must use a turn signal when turning at an intersection?

Not only was the officer polite as can be, the columnist who complained about the officer's "arrogant" tone was actually the one who came off like a jerk in the video.

I find liberals often project a lot. They are what they accuse the other side of being.

Did they really need to write a 3000 word piece on an 11 minute video in which nothing happened

Not to mention that nothing is their fault - as you can see in the video.

He legitimately protests that he dindu nuffin.

I went to the newspaper webpage and saw his article. Every comment below was kicking him in the balls for his lies.

They even linked him to the video of his stop. He is going to crap little tickets when he sees it.

Believe it or not you're also supposed to use it when changing lanes. And turning? Why the frick do you think it's called a turn signal?

Hey, here's an idea: Make a name for yourself by creating/achieving something rather than posing as a victim.

As a side note: Damned if that didn't look like the intersection of I-59 and Hwy 98W in Hattiesburg.

In Texas you are required to keep the blinker on until the lane change is completed. Got a warning for turning it off before I got all the way in the other lane.

I was expecting something, even minor, that was out of line by the officers. The only one that was rude was the fake news columnist.
