was the arresting officer Bill Paxton? - Jovian May 22, 15:42
best thing Ive seen today. Thank you. -- nm - Jovian May 22, 15:13
Past a certain point, I started to feel sorry for her. - David May 22, 14:42 18
- I have to think there was a better option than chasing her down. Maybe just drop the ticket in the mail with a court summons? -- nm - znufrii May 22, 15:02 17
  - She fled. You don’t let the people fleeing just drive off. - Will Hunting May 22, 15:14 10
    - That's not really true. In most police departments they are supposed to make a risk assessment of whether this person poses a danger to others. If -- (edited) - pmb May 22, 15:18 8
      - She kicks him. - Will Hunting May 22, 15:19 7
        
        I absolutely agree that he gave her plenty of chances, and I also agree that an African-American might have died in the same circumstance. -- nm - David May 22, 15:27 4
        
        two points: yes if an african-american pulled this, they could have easily ended up dead. But secondly, most african-americans would not act like this -- nm - Jovian May 22, 15:38 2
        
        (Because they would be afraid they might end up dead.) -- nm - Dark Callisto May 22, 15:39 1
        
        exactly. exactly my point! -- nm - Jovian May 22, 15:44
        
        Yep. And then the focus would have been on the escalation. - pmb May 22, 15:35
        
        After he escalated it. He screwed this up way earlier. She actually offered to sign it and leave and he refused that. - pmb May 22, 15:25
        
        She will be lucky if she gets off without a resisting arrest, assaulting a police office, and god only knows what other charges they could lay out -- nm - Jovian May 22, 15:22
    - goddamn right. She got off lucky. -- nm - Jovian May 22, 15:15
  - Exactly. And then go boot or tow her car. - pmb May 22, 15:13
  - I feel like the source of this was that she couldn't afford to pay $80. -- nm - David May 22, 15:13 4
    - What is the list price on that giant pickup truck these days? 50 60k? I think she could afford the $80 bucks -- nm - Jovian May 22, 15:16 3
      - I had a friend who was 22 and bought a truck that he later realized had car payments exceeding what he earned in two weeks. -- nm - David May 22, 15:25 1
        
        The loan officer got a vacation to Hawaii. It’s like Marcy D’Arcy loaning Al Bundy the money for the shoe God told him to make. -- nm - Will Hunting May 22, 15:32
      - You’d be amazed at how many redneck-mobiles exist that worth more than the person clears in 2 years. -- nm - Will Hunting May 22, 15:18
This is literally like arguing with my five year old (minus the tasering) - Reagen May 22, 14:27 3
- Yeah, but it's also probably a needless police escalation. There are better ways to handle this. -- nm - pmb May 22, 15:12
- "You have twenty seconds to comply." "I can count to one hundred." -- nm - Max May 22, 14:40 1
  - have you bugged me? -- nm - Reagen May 22, 14:41
I don't have speakers, what was the reason she was pulled over? not wearing a mask or a traffic vio? -- nm - zeitgeist May 22, 14:21 2
- I’m guessing driving on expired tags for six months. - Will Hunting May 22, 14:23 1
  - "busted tail light" where that means the entire back end was crushed in. -- nm - Reagen May 22, 15:01
Karen woke up in a free country. Karen's going to bed in a jail cell in a free country. -- nm - Max May 22, 14:09
That escalated quickly. -- nm - znufrii May 22, 14:06
A black person would not have survived that confrontation. -- nm - TWuG May 22, 14:05 1
- I dont believe that is true, but the stereotypical thing would be that you are right. -- nm - tRuMaN May 22, 14:16
SHOOT HER -- (edited) - JaxSean May 22, 14:03 1
- She got stunned at least lol. -- nm - Shaun May 22, 14:04
