Oriana Farrell was terrified.

The single mother of five recalled an October 2013 traffic stop, when officers wrestled her out of her minivan along a New Mexico highway, and then shot at the vehicle as she tried to flee with her children inside. Video from a police dashboard camera captured the seemingly-routine traffic stop devolving into a tense incident.

“I started thinking about children who have been shot, families who have been shot,” she said in her first television interview that appeared today on “Good Morning America.”

“I started thinking about Trayvon Martin.”

“I started pulling out slowly, like we do from any traffic stop,” she said.

That’s when the officer chased her down, trying to pull Farrell out of the vehicle as her children screamed.

For Farrell, confusion gave way to fear when the officer tried to arrest her. Her son Zeke – thinking his mother was in danger – got out of the car....

What a load. I guess if she had been smoking a cigar, she would have thought about “the gentle giant” or Jack and the Beanstalk.

“Farrell says when the officer walked away from the car without giving her a ticket she drove off, assuming she wasn’t getting one. “

COMPLETE AND TOTAL LIE. The officer told her to TURN THE VEHICLE OFF.

The only time she thought about TRAYVON was when ABC told her they would pay her if she said she thought about Trayvon.

I’ve seen that video.Over and over.My verdict....10 years for he woman for having endangered so many people (including kids in her own vehicle) and 5 years for the punk teenage boy who assaulted the cop.

BS...BS...BS! You can *clearly* hear the cop tell here something like "wait here,I'll be right back".

She's a filthy liar...in addition to being a felon!

It would appear the "other than LIV" population is not fooled by the MSM take on this story.

The problem is, the "other than LIV" population is not even close to a majority, and with every passing day, we are more outnumbered.

And don't turn a possible traffic ticket into a chase and a firefight.
