Why are we not hearing of Asian, Hispanic, White, Native-American, Hawaiian-Polynesian etc etc suspects. It's all frigging blacks.....and usually it involves the suspect NOT LISTENING TO COP'S DIRECTIONS! (running, come forward, not shutting up etc etc)
In Texas, cops are allowed to arrest you for simple traffic violations. They have the option, and exercise it constantly, to give you a "promise to appear" in the form of a ticket in lieu of taking you to jail.
(A peace officer who is charging a person, including a child, with committing an offense that is a Class C misdemeanor, other than an offense under Section 49.02, Penal Code, may, instead of taking the person before a magistrate, issue a citation to the person that contains written notice of the time and place the person must appear before a magistrate, the name and address of the person charged, the offense charged, and the following admonishment, in boldfaced or underlined type or in capital letters:
If you CHOOSE to **** off an officer while pulled over for a class C misdemeanor, you may very well end up with that officer choosing to arrest you.
If an officer arrests you over a simple traffic violation, he's being a jerk; however, if you act like a jerk first, don't be surprised if he acts like a jerk as well.
You are fee to exercise your freedom of speech to the cop if you choose, but don't forget, that cop has the OPTION of writing you a ticket or warning or taking you to jail.
If the cop was retarded, we can't blame him for his behavior. We have to blame the person who hired him. But if that person was retarded too, we can't blame him either. We have to blame the person who hired that person. But what if the retardation/blame goes all the way up? It could go all the way up to Obama. So the real issue in this case is not whether anyone falsely arrested anyone, or whether anyone murdered anyone. The real issue is whether Obama is retarded.

It's a badge of courage in some cultures to defy any requests from a police officer. Defy, reject, fight back, use foul language, resist, run, anything to not comply. It boggles the mind that some people can't figure out that a police officer can and will arrest you if you act like an idiot. They should put ">Insert Name Here<" did not comply on their grave markers to honor their stupidity.
What argument? Someone asked about data showing deaths in police custody. Since the original title of this thread is about a person dying in police custody in a local jail cell I found data about deaths of people in local and state jails and posted it.
Don't even bother with him anymore, he is hopeless. I understood perfectly why you posted that and how it was relevant. In case your wondering, you proved your point beyond a shadow of a doubt. Some people just seriously lack the intellectual capacity to understand anything beyond 2+2 or are so stuck on their pathetic agenda's that they purposely ignore statistics that obviously prove them wrong.
And for all those people screaming "this was murder" without even a shred of proof here:
The autopsy ruled the death a suicide, just like the coroner. Now her family wants another autopsy. I guess keep getting autopsy until autopsy until you get the results you want. Now please lets stop with the almost conspiracy theory like suggestions that she was murdered. It was always obvious it was just a suicide. And now there's really no room for argument regarding the cause of death.

Do people actually get pulled over by police in Texas for failing to signal when changing lanes or turning?
Personally I think it is really rude not to signal, yet at least 75% of Floridian drivers do not signal. I have never heard of or seen anyone being pulled over for it even when there are cops all over. I think cops do it only if they are targeting someone and want an excuse to pull them over.
Is it common practice in Texas for cops to pull one over for not signaling?
It's hard to say. If she had suddenly cut over into another lane right in front of the police car, and he had to brake to avoid hitting her, or he saw her do that to someone else, or do it multiple times to get around cars, he might have stopped her for that- but that would have been careless driving as well. I thought she said she had changed lanes because she saw him behind her an wanted to get out of his way, but didn't signal first. That is entirely plausible, I have done the same and I might not have signalled either.
I don't know if this is reported anywhere in any of the media or if he's just talking traffic enforcement protocol, but my husband says the cop most likely would have not ticketed the lady, would just have let her go with a warning had she not started the altercation. After she did, all bets were off.
