  1. TVC184, if the officer here didn't do something wrong why was he placed on administrative whatever it was for not following protocol?  Would it have been too much for him to hand her the warning and just say have a good day ma'am?  I understand all of the tactics and questions policeman use, but it just seemed to me she hated the police and he could've handled a bit different.  She posed no threat especially considering that illegal lane change she did.

  2. ​Even if it did, would only prove she hit her head during a legal arrest.  She was alive when she went in the cell, and she hung herself. It seems pretty cut and dry. 

    Wasn't the arresting officer put on administrative duty or something for not following protocol or something like that?  Another thing, is it illegal for the second person that was way away from the scene that was videoing it?  The policeman points at him and says you need to leave.  Why?

  3. ​I disagree.....

    He was nice at first and she had an attitude and was rude which set him off. He asked her to put out her cigarette and step out of the car and she at first refused. In my opinion, she deserved to go to jail.......

    Just so you don't think I'm one sided......If that was my Son in that video and he acted like that to a cop, I would let him sit a couple days in jail before I bailed him out. I probably would not have minded a little taser action to teach him a lesson. This country is going down fast, and this lack of respect for officers needs to end. Officers are people and are not perfect, nor can they read minds. This could of ended up much worse than it did, and I mean the traffic stop. Her committing suicide to me is a separate issue.

      

    She was definitely looking for somewhat of a confrontation in my opinion, but the stop was over.  He didn't have to continue in my opinion.  When I've gotten pulled over, I say yes sir and no sir, but I haven't been having a bad day or frustrated at something else.  God I hope I'm not if getting pulled out of the car like that is part of it.  

  4. After watching the dash cam video my thoughts are this:

    1. She was rude as heck during the entire traffic stop.

    2. That policeman just seemed to be out looking for the smallest of infractions to pull people over in my opinion for it to lead to something larger.  (Boy did it ever) looked like he was at or near Prarie View A&M so was he profiling? Liked to see who all he pulled over during his shift.

    3. He seemed to escalate the situation himself.

    4. It's really sad that a violation that was going to be a warning ended up with a woman dead in a jail cell.  Who knows, whether or not this would've happened if she weren't there, but she didn't need to be there.

    5. Still a lot of stones to turn over in this case.

     

  5. ​I honestly don't understand that. If we can't trust them with a gun, then why let them join?

     

    It comes with the accountability of the weapons/ammo.  It's not just handing everyone a weapon, I wish it were that simple.  Then there is the training that has to take place and that is also costly.  There has to be a way to have someone armed though, and not publicize nobody at the recruiting center is armed.  We give out too much information.

  6. ​I agree......and I think everyone in the Military that wears a uniform should be trained and armed. At minimum a service revolver.......then maybe a locked gun safe with a few semi-auto rifles.....

    It's a difficult thing to pull off arming everyone.  Believe me, there are a few you don't want armed.  There is a better answer than having no one armed though.  The enemy has changed tactics and we haven't changed ours.  That's why I've always said, better to fight on their turf than ours.  Military members know when they take the oath that their life is part of the contract, but to go out like that is painful and heartbreaking.
