DEMAND others answer your questions, but never, ever answer theirs. Kinda like Hillary Clinton. It tells me they have ‘an agenda’.
Do you?
Wow... you're feeling a little differently today, eh? Yesterday, you complimented me for "debating this issue intelligently"... today, you tell me I'm like Hillary Clinton?? Now.. THAT is an INSULT!
I've been on FR for quite awhile too... 9 years. I have no agenda. Just discuss a few things here and there that interest me.
I directly answered about 6 things from one of your post yesterday. I've only ask you ONE question:
Was it really necessary to arrest this guy?
I notice, that you are still dodging this question.... I don't blame you.. cause, it's a tough one for your side.
“Was it really necessary to arrest this guy?”
When Massey asked him why the cop said “because you would not sign the ticket”.
I really hope this trigger happy cop loses his shirt.
“Yesterday, you complimented me for “debating this issue intelligently”...
At the time, you were.
” today, you tell me I’m like Hillary Clinton??”
Sometimes responses are meant to include more than just the one poster, especially if they are acting the same.
Also there are sooooo many posts, and so many questions, it is easy to mix one poster up with another. I apologize if that was the case.
“I directly answered about 6 things from one of your post yesterday.”
I’ll accept that and apologize for not having gone back and replied to all of them.
“Was it really necessary to arrest this guy?”
I believe that after adding up all of the non-cooperation, refusal to cooperate, refusal to sign, arguing with the officer, and the possibility that the officer may have told him he was going to take him to jail (there were parts of the conversation we couldn’t hear, but I heard the response from the driver, which was “NO YOU WON’T”, that the officer had the OPTION to arrest him, and decided to do so.
The driver caused the situation to get to the point where the officer decided to take him to jail. Even though the code says the officer is not REQUIRED to take him to jail, it does not state that HE CAN NOT take him to jail for refusing to sign. It is usually decided based on behavior of the driver, which, in this case, was way out of line.
Since it was a ‘simple speeding ticket’, and the driver and his family could simply have gone about their business after he signed the ticket, I ask you, “Why did the driver do everything possible to provoke the officer into taking him to jail?”
Everyone speaks of the driver’s RIGHTS. Driving and the possession of a valid driver’s license, are a PRIVILEGE granted by the STATE. Your RIGHTS are very limited when it concerns operating a motor vehicle, and violating traffic ordinances.
Refusing to cooperate
Giving orders to the officer
are not on the list of your ‘rights’.
