NONE of the many, many thugs killed in recent controversial police shootings would have received the death penalty for their perceived transgressions. They have wired officers to bio-telemetry equipment and put them in real world typical pull over situations. Whenever a majority of officers pull over black drivers, their telemetry readings go off the scale. Nothing about the African American driver, not their age, their gender or their deportment varies the response. An officer cannot think clearly when their heart rate has hit 200bpm. They are in a virtual fight or flight situation just from having viewed an African American. I think all officers should be tested during their training for their involuntary responses to African Americans and those that display these panic reflexes should not be deployed where they can possibly encounter African Americans while they are in an enforcement capacity.
Where is this special place? If they have panic responses to seeing black people, they shouldn't be public servants!

What you wrote is nonsense. Hispanic isn't a race it is an ethnic group. He was a white Hispanic. It really isn't that difficult to understand. SMH.

Another way he could have handled it?
Give her a ticket instead of the warning he was trying to issue or keep his mouth shut and bow down to her.

He decided to start a cause of his own, the fight for his belief in respect for authority.

Before I thought her suicide was probably because she lost the job but now I'm wondering if she just decided to "take one for the cause".
He could have handled it the way that his department requires him to handle it. How about that. And as for your last sentence there, what complete bull s h I t.

Why put yourself in a situation that will most definitely not end well for you?? Why verbally fight the ass hole cop?

From all of the recent stories of police brutality, you should KNOW that this will not end well for you. Is it worth it to mouth off to a cop and possibly end up dead? ...or is it better to get away from this situation alive, so that you can legally and safely fight this ass hole cop?

People need to think about self-preservation and stop being so damn reactive. I'm tired of hearing stories about black people getting killed in these situations.
So you are basically supporting illegal search and seizure. Wake up call. The police role is not that of judge, jury and executioner. The system is broken and needs to be fix. You make as much sense as the people who go around saying a woman bears the responsibility of being raped.

I am so sorry. I thought I was responding for KathrynAragon's post. This is a good reason for me not to try to add my 2 cents from a cell phone ... lol.

When you're being asked if you're Hispanic or white, I think there's a difference.
Actually, if you look at most forms, especially federal, state forms or other forms from companies, schools, or other entities that submit this information to the feds for "civil rights" purposes, the designation for a caucasian is "other" these days.
