Don't give them any ideas.
Who am I kidding. The staff meeting for that one has already occurred.
They'd stoke a nuclear war if it meant higher ratings.
I've heard (don't remember where) that their was a "problem" with the camera.
I could be wrong with some details but I saw the end of a news report and non police investigators were not able to pass, slowly walk or crawl past the camera without it recording.
jeez, i just noticed this was on front page of CNN. So pathetic they are using her sad situation for financial exploitation. Completely unnecessary coverage.

This is like Bigfoot is real coverage
They must have a autobot news filter for white cop arrests black person stories and feeds them into a generic What if? What do you need to know? Who is? format.
There is proof, she had been arrested for it twice before.
If this woman had just cooperated she would have been on her way. Her desire for a confrontation like so many others is the direct cause of their exits from society.
If this cop had just let her smoke (like she legally had the right to) she would have been on her way. His desire to confront her like a power tripping asshole like so many other cops is the direct cause of many exits from society.

I'm having trouble understanding why a traffic stop turned into a 3 day jail stay, I know she was rude, I know she probably kicked the cop but 3 days imprisonment for that did they charge her with any crime?
I also believe when the police remove someone's freedom they are now responsible to keep that person safe this includes safe from themselves.
I find the whole Sandra Bland case sad and strange, and I am gratified the DoJ is investigating it. I wish she had never been arrested in the first place. She and the officer each could have handled this situation better. She could have simply politely cooperated, and he could have given her more room to express herself without escalating the situation.
Agreed. It's actually like I watched a totally different video than most on this forum. All he had to do was write the ticket and move on. Did he want a Thank you from the woman for writing her a ticket? Part of an officers job is mitigating situations not escalating them. I'm sure he's had enough traffic stops to realize people aren't happy by them.
Both were rude; but 1 of them is trained, and even licensed/certified, for this encounter.
This video shows why people do not like police as much and their likability is dropping all the time.
He gave her the ticket and that should have been the end of it. Instead he tells her to stop smoking, nothing illegal there, and then escalates it even more. His actions and demeanor show he should not be a cop. But of course he will get a slap on the wrist, some paid vacation, and be right back at it.
People forget that the fact you drive away with a ticket for a traffic violation is a luxury, not a right.
Did that for sure happen?
If so, he is screwed as far as ordering her to do anything. And don't be so sure about the punishment, almost every story we've had lately where the officer messed up criminally, they were fired or even charged with a crime.
She wouldn't have even made it to jail if she just listened and complied.
Are you fucking kidding?
"Oh thank you massuh! Thank you fuh only givin' me a ticket instead of shootin' me in the head massuh!"
You boot-licking cop-worshiping fascists are disgusting.
If this woman had just cooperated she would have been on her way. Her desire for a confrontation like so many others is the direct cause of their exits from society.
In a way, she also confronted him like a power tripping asshole.
Her exit of society was nothing but her own choice, how could you blame anyone else but her?
Why not blame the person who gave her that sour attitude before the cop showed up? Why not blame the mental health society for not effectively treating people with power tripping personality disorders? Why not blame the US government for having laws to enforce, thus creating these confrontational meetings between government officials and citizens?
How about we just lay the blame where it is, with the person who really has the only choice. The person themselves.
You are so delusional. Committing a crime puts you in court. A ticket signed is your promise to go to court. Have you never been pulled over and given a ticket before?
If you don't sign it, the cops will usually tell you that they will have to arrest you because they don't have your promise to go to court.
But since any compliance = "shootin' me in the head massuh!", I bet you just hammer down the gas on your unregistered car because then you would be bowing down to "boot-licking cop-worshiping fascists"

Let's review what you just said, numnuts: "A ticket is a luxury."
Do you even listen to yourself? Do you realize how insane you sound?
