I watched the video. The gal was stupidly provoking I thought...and the officer was too easily riled...but police today have the extra worry that some nut case is gonna’ blow them away, and she was acting like a nut case. Also, I think under this administration some blacks feel they have some sort of right to be provoking. Nobody in their right mind, when they commit an infraction, and are pulled over by the police, needs to take the offensive. My husband and I have been stopped for being slightly over the posted speed limit, acknowledged same, treated the officer politely, and he in turn treated us the same way...in fact, ultimately let us off with an admonition. Since this girl’s traffic offense was not too serious, she may very well have been treated with courtesy if she had treated him with courtesy. Maybe even avoided a ticket...instead, sadly, she is dead.
Of course, the officer didn't get to the point of giving her the "warning" gift, but somehow felt the need to solicit her thoughts on why she might be upset.
Her thoughts were legitimate thoughts, if you listen to her reasoning, then go back and view the beginning of the full video.
He spun a U-ey, then zoomed up behind her like he was on the way to a call. They got to a place in the road where there were two lanes in their direction, so she got in the slower lane, like you're supposed to. Of course, probably anxious, she forgot to signal.
Then he popped her, probably exactly as he planned.
He was a Texas state trooper. Why was he cruising campus, and pulling over girlies?
