If you have even the slightest bit of honor, honesty and decency, you will watch the video, then come back here and apologize.

Then stop being a smarmy jackass.

Better call CNN:

July 22, 2015
https://www.cnn.com/2015/07/21/us/texas-sandra-bland-jail-death-explain/index.html

"The dashcam video reveals how a Texas state trooper initially pulled Sandra Bland over for allegedly failing to use her turn signal and how the situation then escalated."

I can see what she did, homes, and so can you.

I don’t care what she or anyone “said”, especially MTV “News” or any other national “news”.

I can see her run the stop sign, and then I can see him pull her over right after that.

MAYBE he offered her a lesser charge in an effort to BE NICE to her, even though she didn’t deserve that.

I, me myself, have been pulled over for speeding, but then was written a ticket for a busted windshield instead, which happens to be a non-moving violation.

Well let’s educate ourselves then, PJ, instead of being an ignorant dickwad talking right out of our ass like kiryandil here.

What the heck is wrong with you? When have I ever spoken to you like that?

All I did was say that she said she was pulled over for failure to signal on her video. That is not deserving of the response you gave me.

If you can't be civil with me, then don't bother responding again. I thought you were better than that.

Now, really go watch it this time.

No, she clearly ran the stop sign.

That’s when he got on her tail.

Whatever he chose to cite to her or write her for is his business.

He could have chosen to write her for nothing, doesn’t change the fact that she ran a stop sign right in front of him, and he then pulled her over.

“Back in the 70’s I was a Texas cop.”

Well that sure figures! Bet they told you to make sure that you get the Blacks too!
I worked for a company that had a plant in a “rural Texas town”. When we located it there our president asked the mayor if the town’s “public swimming pool” was integrated. His answer: “ Why sho it is, cose dee ni**ers don’t come cuz dey know dey ain’t welcome!” I thank GD every day that I turned down the “opportunity” to move there to be plant manager.

So first she fails to stop or even slow at a stop sign and just continues out into the street, then after he turns around and follows her, she switches lanes without signaling.

The lane change was the most recent infraction and the most indisputable, but not the infraction which caused the initiation of trailing.

How about the actual transcript from the Youtube video which you posted and refused to watch, and then made false statements about?

He got on her case for running the stop sign.

I don’t imagine that he turned around and followed her for the non-signal that occurred some 60 seconds after he turned around and followed her.

Whatever he cited to her as his reason was his choice, because she clearly ran the stop sign, and she also turned at the stop sign without signaling.

He was justified in stopping her.

I am speaking to kiryandil that way in my post that is also sent to you. “Ignorant dickwad” is directed at him.

I'm not buying it. You specifically referenced me in your slur by inference to others.

Now I won't accept anything other than a direct and unconditional apology.

Yes, yes I did.

I saw all the things that she did, and I know what he told her.

Youtube actually has a transcription function.

It's really great for instances where people won't watch the actual video - even if they posted it themselves...    face with tears of joy

Yes, I am for real, are you for real?

Did you not see her run the stop sign right in front of him and then him begin to pursue her?

So you’re saying that she didn’t run the stop sign right in front of him, and he didn’t start pursuing her as a result of that?
