Perhaps you should read my earlier posts. I actually cited the legal statutes for you. The cop, under TX law, gave her reasonable, lawful orders. She refused them. She broke the law. The cop did not break the law at all. It is that simple.
Nothing he said or did can be proved as racist. You can assume it all you want, but it has to be provable ‘beyond a shadow of a doubt’.
Your ‘torture’ comment is kind of silly because there is a huge difference between torturing someone and being rude to them. One is illegal and the other is not. If you don’t understand that then there isn’t much hope for you. No law in TX allows anyone to torture anyone else.
The feds can only get involved if the cop violated her civil rights or violated the law. He did not! The traffic stop did not cause her death so there isn’t much of a case there...and before anyone starts claiming ‘false imprisonment’ or some other fed charge, please actually read those laws so you’ll understand why none of those can apply in this case (hint: look at the ‘intent’ part of the elements of the offense).
The feds could get involved if the jail failed in some legal obligation that led to her death, but even that is doubtful if there was actually a crime committed and the State punishes the responsible parties. I would not put it past the feds to try and make this a racial issue, but without any evidence, they will probably fail just like in all of the other cases.
Wrong again, it was obvious the lone female non- threatening driver was not a threat as he even turned his back on her to walk to his vehicle. No?
She was on her way to her first day on a job.
The traffic stop was all but over. The cop sat in his car and wrote the warning ticket, walk back to her vehicle to give it to her the ticket and suddenly tells the female to put out her cigarette who sitting waiting to leave, in her own vehicle.
She sitting in her own private vehicle, the traffic cop already COMPLETED the warning citation walks up and demands she put her cigarette out?
LOL...That was clear intentional escalation of the incident? All he had to do was give the ticket to her, say thank you mama and leave...
That didn't happen. ☺ Whoops... And because of this intentional intimidation while he used his badge to escalate the situation, she ends up dead in a cage?
The cop clearly was fishing and hoping he could cage the female. And she ends up dead while in their custody?
These folks down there in Texas will be jack hammered over all the lawsuits....bet the rent.
And I will ping you first when it happens. I might even ping you ten times. ☺
Thanks. I read your earlier posts, but still, it seems to me that *just* because something is written in a state law it doesn’t mean that it allows a police officer, or anyone, to violate the rights of a citizen. That’s my point.
-BTW, you may have me confused with someone else claiming the cop was racist, I didn’t. However, racism these days does NOT need to be proved beyond a shadow of a doubt, at least WRT the media and the real world repercussions.
I must say, respectfully, that if you think the cop was being reasonable and lawful (or that the laws under which said cops actions would be considered reasonable is just)you have a very different view of the role of police and the State than I do or would want to; I see a thuggish A-hole who gives all cops a bad name and a really good example of why so many citizens do not trust cops these days.
Respectfully..
