Pulled over for not using your turn signal could land you in a jail cell? I see policeman all the time do it! I do it!

I'm 41 so I wasn't around for the same timeframe. I'm referencing my life experiences, high school and Navy, etc. you go on the mess decks on a ship, you'll have groups of Sailors eating together. Phillipinos eating with Phillipinos, Hispanics with Hispanics, Whites with Whites, Blacks with Blacks. There's absolutely no segregation there, but that's the way at is. The question is why? I grew up in a small town in Virginia. South Hill where there isn't much, we were a 2A high school. There is a movie theatre there that had to shut their doors because the owner refused to let 4 kids in who were flying the rebel flag on their truck. So there was going to be a rebel flag rally there this weekend. So in my town where I grew up, no race relations aren't any better. It goes back to the people who wouldn't make the cake for the gay couple. The right to refuse service to anyone. Discrimination is discrimination any way you cut it, people hide behind the "it's my religious beliefs". I can't speak for the PAISD statistics, I don't know them. I would be willing to bet though that there are the same numbers in other school districts that are reversed. How do we as communities fix that?

He made his living at ESPN by being somewhat controversial his entire time. He basically puts his two weeks notice in because he's going to fox and gets canned by ESPN. This way they can say they got rid of him.

I'm sure some will disagree with me, but I feel like "thug" is the new "n" word. To me race relations aren't any better because it is only discussed during times of tension, after some crazy event.

They could always pull the ole okie doke! Bad PR for the NFL though. Need to let them give the speech.

Because they probably want to talk about brain trauma and the NFL wants no part of that.

My ex mother in law was staying in Lafayette last night and was too tired to go to the movies. She had bought tickets for today instead, to that movie theatre.

I think often times people come(jump) to conclusions without educating themselves on the issues. I would agree with a lot of what you said, but I would also say the respect thing goes both ways with policeman. It's the arrogant all mightier than now policeman that really make it difficult for the good ones. I also agree that our country is more divided for whatever reason(I personally think both sides just can't find common ground). There is never enough dialogue and you can't have a conversation about differences without it becoming personal or just a plain ole argument. I think people in our country need to have more respect for each other regardless of what sex, religion, race, or whatever. That seems to be lost in our culture. We've agreed on some things Hippy and we've disagreed on some things. I'd have beer with you though (if you drink), I'd probably learn a thing or two.

Call me crazy, but I absolutely agree with him on this one.

Uh oh, another death in jail, HPD investigating a death in jail in Houston.

Besides that show he was on, I haven't watched MTV in years.

My son was on MTV last year, those shows are 100% legit!!! Ah hem!!!!!

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.

I don't think he caused her death either, but if he hadn't broken those policies, would she have died in the jail cell?

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?

Watching the video I thought it was interesting that when she was pulled from the car they ended up just out of camera view. I'm interested to see if the autopsy reveals any head trauma she may have suffered from getting taken down.

Why is there a 60 gallon trash bag in the holding cell?

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.
