They probably coulda hit her.

It is beyond me...

...why people want to push cops so hard. I mean, the LA guy was on drugs and drunk so, OK. But this woman was just running a little late.

Let the guy do his job. Sign the damn ticket.

SOmeone once had a siggy line: "Stupidity should be painful" Well, I guess it is huh?

She's lucky I'm not the cop that stopped her - I'd have drug her out of that car and kicked the crap out of the itch and gladly taken my punishment for it.

Then they sit and bawl - "All this over a little ticket!" like they had absolutely nothing to do with the way it escalated. Yeah, you stupid broad - all that because YOU wanted to give the cop a rash of crap instead of simply signing the ticket.

(From a ex-fed investigator) Seems they got into that grey area. Maybe the article doesn't reflect what actually ensued, there may be more to this story than we read. This is a case where you sorta had to be there.

Yep...

...he's hispanic, she's apparently black as Elaine is sniffing out and so we have the makings of a race and sex issue.

Yep, just as I suspected, there always is a "rest of the story." We'll make Elaine an official Formite Jr. G-man.

Yep, just as I suspected, there always is a "rest of the story."

And, of course, Johnny Chochran (er, um,) the lawyer will play this up big in the run-up to the lawsuit. What better way to arm-twist the city into writing a big check?

Remember, we're only hearing her side in the press and it MAY be just a little bit biased. (on a subconcious basis only, doncha know?)
