Please Fire The Cop’: Actress Asks Obama For Help In DUI Case
CBS) ^ | June 6, 2012 9:24 AM

Posted on 06/10/2012 11:01:49 AM PDT by BenLurkin

BEVERLY HILLS (CBS) — Actress Amanda Bynes is asking for a little legal help from the Commander-in-Chief.

The 26-year-old actress pleaded not guilty Wednesday to a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs stemming from an April 6 collision in which her BMW allegedly struck a sheriff’s patrol car in West Hollywood.

Bynes’ attorney entered the plea on her behalf because she was not required to appear in Beverly Hills Superior Court, and a July 18 pretrial hearing was set.

But Bynes did ask President Barack Obama on Tuesday to intervene on her behalf on Twitter.

“Hey @BarackObama, I don’t drink”, said Bynes in a Tweet to the Obama campaign. “Please fire the cop who arrested me. I also don’t hit and run. The end.”

The DUI charge includes the allegation that Bynes refused a peace officer’s request to submit to a chemical test.

Bynes was taken into custody about 3 a.m. April 6 after the black BMW she was driving struck a sheriff’s patrol car at the intersection of Robertson and Santa Monica boulevards, sheriff’s Lt. William Nash said.

The patrol car was stopped while northbound on Robertson Boulevard, preparing to turn right onto Santa Monica Boulevard, when Bynes allegedly attempted to pass to the right, according to Nash.

She was subsequently arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, the lieutenant said, and released later that morning.

Sadly millions of people actually believe obama has the authority to fire local cops. And I’m starting to wonder myself.

Even more sadly, many, including Obama, seem to think there are no limits to what a POTUS can and cannot do just by fiat.

Sadly Obama would probably try and do this if this actress was a Wealthy “A lister” and could help him fundraise or if she was the “right color”.

Obama didn’t have the authority to fire the president of General Motors, but he did so.

I have contended for some time that if the president of GM had held a press conference and said, “Mr. President, you do not have the authority to fire me, only the stockholders can do that. So you can KMA!”, the whole Obama presidency would have been changed.

Wasn’t she one of those “young Hollywood” actors that just paid to have breakfast with Obama?

Seems to me that there might be a good case for influence peddling here, or perhaps attempt to bribe a public official.

I think she was one of the idiots who paid big $ to have breakfast w/ 0bummer, so we’ll see if he takes any action and whether that constitutes ‘influence peddling’, a crime. If he interferes, like he did in that other “stupid police” (his words) case, it would be a PR disaster. He won’t. He’s screwed-up so badly lately, that he/libs are now *re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic*. (He’d do it thru a throwaway surrogate, anyway.)

No, but earlier in the week, she (LL) tried to pull a Jayne Mansfield, or since she’s from LI, a Harry Chapin. Or maybe a James Dean, because she was in a Porsche...

“charge of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs stemming from an April 6 collision in which her BMW allegedly struck a sheriff’s patrol car ....”

When driving drunk, it’s best to avoid hitting cop cars.

Sadly millions of people actually believe obama has the authority to fire local cops.

He fired thousands and thousands of car dealership owners, and millions of GM bond owners.

This womans mistake is that she asked for only one policeman to be fired, not the entire department. One policement is too sympathetic a figure.

I read earlier today - and now I can't find the darned article - that 0bummer's support was/is "Upstairs/Downstairs". The writer claims that the vast majority of his votes and financial support came/comes from rich Whites and poor Blacks/Whites/Hispanics. He has very, very little support base in Middle America, or so the article's writer claimed. Based upon what I've seen him do to us, over the past 3½yrs of hell-in-America, I'd agree with that.

Sorry, honey. There are 150 million other people in front of you in line for free stuff from Dick Obama. And 12% of them are black. What you are supposed to do is cut in front of them and say, “Don’t you know who I am?”

You're right. But in a PC society FEAR is the WHOLE POINT of the various exercises of Political Correctness, rather than the claimed point of ‘equality’ or ‘fairness’.

Those exercise have been going on for two generations, leaving the ‘leaders’ in our society well trained. Any dismissal of PC will come from the “ignorant rabble” of this Nation NOT any sort of official ‘leadership’. Hence the Tea Party.
