See there you go again making assumptions. I am not racist in the least bit. You are the one that played the race card and claimed that the cop would be a target for blacks. I merely pointed out that in TX the mood is against the behavior of the blacks in these situations and against blacks rioting. It doesn’t fly here in TX. That is true and doesn’t mean I’m racist.
You’re also a hypocrite. You claim a few bad apples make all cops evil, but you claim racism when it is pointed out that a majority of all crime is perpetrated by blacks despite their much smaller populations. Yet you don’t understand that those bad apples also ruin it for the entire group.
I’m sorry you a bad experience with a cop or your husband did. However, none of that makes a difference in this case except demonstrating your own bias. This cop did not violate the law. He may have been rude, but that isn’t a crime. Regardless of her attitude, Sandra did violate the law...several times. That is the difference. Had he violated the law then I would be on your side regardless of his or her attitudes, but he didn’t.
You also need to understand that the public may pay his salary, but that doesn’t mean that he acted improper. Most of the public, here in TX, that does actually pay his salary, sides with the cop and not the criminal in this case. He works for all of them and not just the one that he happened to pull over so he has to base his actions on the group priorities and not the individual. Just like you complain about him enforcing traffic laws. Yet, the public that pays his salary has hired him to do just that. Just because you or Sandra didn’t like it has no bearing on the situation.
You don’t have to vote to increase taxes to support the cops since you are clearly discriminating against all cops. However, you also don’t have any right then to complain when the cops are slow to respond or have budget restrictions that prevent them from being effective against crime. Also, the next time you are the victim of any crime, please don’t call a cop. I’m sure they have much more serious matters to deal with than your petty problems.
Well, as long as I pay their damn salaries, they better come. I also expect to be treated with respect, or a letter goes to the governor, chief of police and my local state senator.
“He may have been rude, but that isn't’t a crime”
He violated the courtesy policy and is now riding a desk. pretty soon he will be riding the unemployment line. Too much bad publicity ( even Donald Trump weighed in on his behavior today) to keep him on as a cop.
“he has to base his actions on the group priorities and not the individual”
That sounds like communism. He bases his priorities on the person he is currently dealing with, not some abstract public.
“It doesnt’t fly here in TX.”
I guess Texans are not independent &question the government people like I thought. They fall in lockstep to authority figures.
