"Sovereign Citizen" makes an ass of himself, cop reacts correctly...

1. I'm glad that the driver was nothing more than a clueless drone

Because some of these soverign citizen types are violent.

[Buzz Clik]

2. Justice can be so unkind.

"Officer, I am looking for trouble, and begging you to oblige. Please, sir!"

[Jack Rabbit]

3. An fine example of a cop doing his job right

No nonsense. He didn't even have to do a barrel roll.

[valerief]

6. The driver was white. However, he was only going 10 miles over the speed limit.

Seems like a waste of time.

7. If the driver wasn't an asshole, he may have not even gotten a ticket.

4. Well there are good cops in Texas after all

The cop showed more restraint than I could have on this tea party (most likely) puke.

[CanonRay]

5. What an idiot. n/t

[jberryhill]

8. He should be arrested for vertical video

9. Driver apparently learned Texas law while drinking beers at Tea Party HQ. nt

14. Reminds me of the stoners you'd meet at the beach in California.....

They remind you of this guy:



Classic "stinkin' thinkin'" saying things like, "If you've got an open beer all you have to do is put your thumb over the opening and there's NOOOOO WAY a cop can make you move it without a warrant."

[on point]

10. If they are not citizens of USA, they should be deported right away! ;-)

12. Wow.

So it is not illegal to exceed the posted speed limit in TX? And you don't need a license to drive a non-commercial vehicle?
Would love to the argument for that one. And, if true, the Legislature will take care of that in a rare instance of bi-partisanship.

13. Did you know that speeding isn't illegal in the state of inebriation?

[citizen blues]

15. Never forget!!!!!

If a black man acted like this, he could very well end up dead. At the very least, the officer would have had his gun out. So while all of you are congratulating this cop on his restraint, NEVER FORGET: this is what it looks like when cops pull over white people.

[rep the dems]

18. Many officers probably would have done just what you're saying for a black man.

However, you have no way of knowing whether this man operates differently for black people vs. white people or whether he's simply good at keeping calm until the situation warrants more action. Not every police officer behaves the way you've described.

[Farmbrook]

16. Ahhhh something about White privilege

If that was a black guy, they would have schooled him in how to behave when approached by a Police. In fact he would have been killed in a New York minute.

Has the Cruz donated?
