3. But does this negate what will happen to her? She is still in Jail isn't she?

I can't believe the one who broke the glass in the Children's face isn't in trouble

4. that was valid

it happened after the cop was assaulted and after the chase.

6. I perfer the way DC does tickets. A camera takes your photo you get a ticket in the mail

No akward side of the road moments LOL
I know they do the conventional way, but all my tickets have been mailed to me. And I have learned my lesson

[Niceguy1]

8. I rather try to talk my way out

Sometimes it works, lol

16. I learnt the hard way too...I take the metro now..

One thing DC does effectively is make sure you get ticket if you deserve it..

5. No, it doesn't change her bizarre behavior

It is possible for more than one person to be doing wrong at a time.

She endangered those children with her driving every bit as much as the cop did with his shooting.

7. True I watched the entire video

If she had just waited the whole thing would not have happened. but it was so disturbing watching how quickly a routine stop could go side ways.

I have been stopped for speeding with my children in the car.

Befire the police get to the car. I explained to my boys, Keep a smile on your face apologize for speeding, know where your license is, but don't reach for it until the officer ask.

You want the officer to know immediately that he is not going to have a problem with you.

9. I have seen that video over and over on Lawrence O'Donnell

I think the women and her family were way out of line, I commend the police for their
restraint. I don't know how any COP could keep their cool after that fiasco. Fleeing the police, resisting arrest assaulting an officer.

14. Cops are bullies with a badge

[doc03]

15. I agree with that sometimes. In this case I think the COPs were justified,

that lady was endangering her children and everyone else on the roads. I commend the COPs for their restraint in this case. If that was a man instead of a women driving that car the guy
would have been tazed, probably had the crap beat out of him and he would be in jail on a dozen different charges and nobody would care..

10. I thought he was said to be suspended with pay...

[Ranchemp.]

13. He was, and then he was terminated.

[arthritisR_US]

17. I didn't know that, thanks! I'm glad he was sacked because all I saw him doing

was escalating the situation, setting her into confusion and panic. He is supposed to be the professional and should have deescalated the whole thing, IMO.

11. This is a good first step

The other police officers were also wrong here

12. There wasn't a single ADULT present throughout that entire incident!

But it really pisses me off that the police officers are being paid to carry weapons WHILE acting like children!
