Gordon, GA – A citizens group in an East Georgia town that wants the removal of their mayor has posted a video showing a confrontation between the mayor and a police officer making a DUI arrest.
The group “Concerned Citizens of Gordon, Ga.” posted the video on their Facebook page, showing the exchange between Gordon Mayor Mary Ann Whipple-Lue and the officer.
The group says they obtained the video recorded on Monday night, March 16, by a body camera on the officer through an Open Records request.
The arrest took place in front of the mayor’s property. Read more at http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6e6_1427069459#FZedOfDfuSRfk5d3.99

No disagreement, but I have to ask, what would 'appropriate political correctness' look like?
Oh yeah...
No doubt at all.
Never argue with a woman with a hyphenated last name! /s;)
IMO, a small amount of politically correct speech can be tolerated in the name of good manners, for example when you're a guest at someone's home and they use a PC term, it's not required that you inform them of your preferred blunt, direct term -- it's often "appropriate" in that context to be polite to your host.
In other words, despite our general disdain for politically correct speech, it actually is not -always- necessary to call a spade a f**king shovel. :)
I guess my reply to that has to be bifurcated:
Personally, I think that if we are going to have interest in statistics of crime by race, color, ethnicity, sex, political party affiliation, sexual preference, or the type of car they drove, we should just be up-front about it and not try to whitewash it with pseudo-humorous ironic misdirection. So to speak... :)
Black = Lib. Call them out as lib rats.
Didn’t take long for your thread to be highjacked by posters who are obsessed with skin color.
Point granted.
So okay, let's see, color doesn't matter. Okay, she just as easily could have been an obnoxious white or brown or other color mayor.
But now, really, her sex doesn't matter either. Consider Rob Ford of Toronto, now there's an obnoxious mayor who's a white male.
The main thing was the obnoxious, entitlement mindset behavior. We all agree on that.
But then what, if any, characteristics of the mayor in the subject article -ARE- fair game for discussion?
This is why bodycams are a good thing for honest officers.
People from Gordon do not like being lumped together with that Honey Boo Boo trash from McIntyre. They would prefer to be known as the home town of Jim Williams of “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” fame.
For many years the whites have been in control, and now God has allowed me for such a time as this, to become mayor of the city of Gordon,” Whipple-Lue said.
Of course....Sober, too it seems....it’s that power and sense of entitlement combined.
He just sounded like plain ole Georgia boy to me. Is there something somewhere that says he is black?
Do not give in to PC. That’s one of the reasons we’re in the shape we’re in today.
“Black” or “Negro” comes directly from the Spanish language. Do we have to change the Spanish language? I can’t wait to hear the first illegal alien call a black man “sin crema”. That will certainly be received well./s
By what authority does a mayor, who works for and serves at the pleasure of the taxpayers, exclude taxpayers from a public meeting?
Well, she’s an a-hole. I wonder what her relationship with the drunk was? Oh, and expect group protests, bussed in from other states, and paid for with shakedown money, or by George Soros:
