Are you referring to what we call DWB (driving while black)?

Kids are just as squashed at 20mph as at 32mph.

Your child's life depends more on your teaching him how not to run into the street.

And when he isn't near the street, there is no reason to creep at 20 mph.

Please tell me you don't have school age children.

"Belligerent Woman of Color Syndrome." Basically, it consists of a women who is non-Caucasian arguing vehemently with the police on every single damn point of procedure. The volume of a BWOCS sufferer's argument is inversely related to their veracity and accuracy. Inevitable prognosis is that the BWOCS sufferer will end up in the lockup.

(BTW, I am a Kumeyaay, and am most assuredly non-Caucasian--and I've seen Kumeyaay women do this. It's embarrassing as hell to watch.)

Everyone is racist. The question is always "to what degree?"

"Poor rhetoric."

Rhetoric? It was a question. Care to answer? How often do you drop your kids off at school?

"Dropping moppets is not needed to comprehend traffic engineering safety principles."

No, that's true. So how many hours have you spent studying school zones so you could know that it was perfectly safe to travel faster than the posted speed limit in a school zone?

"Are you referring to what we call DWB (driving while black)?"

Not necessarily the same. DWB is a more nebulous cluster of symptoms. BWOCS is easily diagnosed by volume, belligerence, and inability on the part of the BWOCS sufferer to de-escalate.

Seattle fire medics examined Brooks, confirmed she was pregnant and recommended she be evaluated at Harborview Medical Center

They had to confirm a pregnancy at eight months????? Perhaps the lady in question is a tad overweight which is why it took two policement to push and pull her out of the vehicle.

Driving 32 mph is seen as dangerous only by wussy little mamma's boys.

Pardon my intrusion but, I am astounded at that statement. It's very unbecoming of a freeper.

"Nazi's suck..."

That and more. Their existence today amongst here should be alarming to everyone. Still, when we should be screaming aloud at such outrageous and grievous police brutality, best I can do is out a nazi here and there.

I guess that's better than doing or saying nothing.

Now THAT is impressive rhetoric. The only alternative to tasering expectant mothers for not signing tickets is to abandon all rule of law.

I can't process that statement. Let's just all pick and choose which laws we obey and which we don't.

Boy do I agree with that one, with one caveot: Kids can dart out from behind parked cars.

I watched a dog do that once. As soon as I saw him move towards the street from the sidewalk in front of a parked car, I saw the car coming and knew he was as good as dead. He was, and the twenty or so kids who were playing with him and got him wound up in the first place got to witness it.

Grade school kids can also be wound up after school. I am no safety first advocate, to say the least, but when it comes to young children, there have to be some sort of safeguards in place. I think it is why most of the elementary schools I have seen have been on very low traffic or cul-de-sac type streets.

Why? The statement is true. Perhaps you could instruct me on how to state it more eloquently?

Well, I suffer from BWOCS, when my husband doesn't mow the lawn as promised or my kids haven't straightened their rooms and I have asked them 3 times. We all have a little BWOCS inside of us all..... accept your inner BWOC... ;-)

No, that's POMS (Pi$$ed-Off Matriarch Syndrome).

BWOCS is an oppositional-defiance psychosis triggered by the presence of a police officer.
