Trip to the Rio Grande turns sour after a traffic stop escalates into a wild scene involving a high speed chase and gunfire.
What started as a routine traffic stop quickly descended into a maniacal scene with a 14-year old kid rushing a cop, a dangerous high-speedchase, a cop smashing a window with his baton and another firing at the back of a minivan full of kids....
The heated incident began outside Taos where Oriana Ferrell was pulled over for going 71mph in a 55 mph zone having travelled to New Mexico from Memphis for an educational trip. Looks like they learned a lesson or two about cops.

Laughable.

A fuller local account.
Holder’s people in Memphis have a strained entitements mentality. They are not ‘Americans’ don’tchaknow.
Doesn’t matter. Police became the primary danger to the kids in this case and I say that as a “Badge Lapper” as the libertards like to say.
They found drug paraphernalia after the arrest and search. Taos is about 300 miles from the border. It looked like the cops did what was right, until the third fired at the minivan. It looks like he fired at the tires though...can’t tell.
““This trip was supposed to be part of an educational experience for her kids who are home schooled,”
Yep!
>> the COPS are in trouble?
Yeah, I enjoy those “jackbooted thug” bashing threads as much as the next FReeper... but I come down on the side of the cops on this one.
Reminds me of that Chris Rock “how not to get your azz kicked by the police” video.
As my wife put it, she found out her Memphrican attitude did not cut it out of the city.
The cops did the right thing, up until they started shooting.
14 year old comes out and throws off his skull cap like he is going to do something. He arse would have been mine.
Thanks.
Yeah because that minivan was going to outrun the cops.
IMO the original cop failed big time by not getting control of the woman when she was outside the vehicle.
She caused the whole damn thing.
Watch the video. She was given multiple chances to do the right thing.
How did they know that the kids were hers? She took off at high speed. Maybe they were dealing with a kidnapper?
They didn’t know. All they knew is she peeled out, and then resisted arrest. And the big brat got out and got into it with the cops.
About the only thing questionable was the guy popping off at the tires. With the kids in mind, maybe that wasn’t so swift. But it’s not unheard of, and if she’s something bad - transporting kidnapped kids, a trafficker, whatever - it would not matter.
Just another opportunity for SeeBS to play WhackAWhitey with a fake injustice against the Sacred Race.
>> They are not ‘Americans’ don’tchaknow.
They couldn’t wait for reparations to be granted by the gubmint; instead they have embraced the concept of “self-serve” reparations.
The police had the license plate numbers and her driver’s license number because they had already issued her a citation. When she drove off the policeman shot at a van with children in it. This was a warranted response because?
Apparently she had to either pay the fine on the spot or go see a judge immediately to contest it.
“IMO the original cop failed big time by not getting control of the woman when she was outside the vehicle.”
Agreed. It seemed like he was shocked.
“How did they know that the kids were hers? She took off at high speed. Maybe they were dealing with a kidnapper?”
So you shoot the kids?
Maybe they were aliens from mars.
