Pretty unprofessional behavior by the LEOs there. Stupid if they knew that they were being videotaped.

I’ve been given a pass a couple of times where if they went by the book I’d have a record now.

less bias in this case than the Trump witch hunt.

Affirmative action strikes again.

I live in Georgia.

ALL GEORGIA LAW ENFORCEMENT ARE NOTHING BUT GLORIFIED REVENUE ENHANCEMENT AGENTS.

IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. NOT JUSTICE.

Far more fair that FBI or Justice Dept. Justice.

The correct thing to do from a legal perspective was to arrest the suspect. The coin flip was a chance for the suspect to escape arrest. So the suspects claim that her fate was decided by a coin flip may be true in some sense, but it is also disingenuous. The coin flip event was actually a chance in her favor not against her. When an officer makes a decision on what action to take it is often like the flip of the coin anyways. The mood and emotions of the officer are human and ever changing.

[Revel]

Another way to look at it.

The chance of her arrest before the coin flip was 100%.

During the coin flip it was only 50%.

Clearly this event favored the suspect.

It’s called judgment. GA has a super speeder law. Most tickets are up to LEO discretion.

Besides the lack of professionalism in their actions, one is compelled to ask if it is prudent to be putting firearms in the hands of people stupid enough to do this on camera.

Unfortunately, law enforcement is an attractive job for petty people who enjoy having power over others. Having power over others can easily be corrupting. This is why we have an obligation to hold LEO to a higher standard.

Anyone holding a position that gives them essentially dictatorial power over others must be held to a higher standard and watched carefully. There are 535 people in Washington, DC that are a perfect example of what happens when we don’t maintain control over them.

Well they could have shot her.

[Midwesterner53]

Diversity hires. At least the employment books look good.

[Springman]

Bump for later.

[Oscar in Batangas]

Justice is blind.

...and random, too?

[dfwgator]

Reminds me of an old Cosby routine.

One of my long time friends, a former Miss Little Rock got pulled over once when I was in the car. Swear to God she rolled down the window smiled at the cop and said "was I bad?" He told her to slow down. That's it. 😀
