Past a certain point, I started to feel sorry for her.

Her behavior is child-like.

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
