THIS AGGRESSION WILL NOT STAND - The Dude

A few things on this, as I live in DFW and this has been talked about heavily today. It angers me immensely, but there was something that stood out to me as odd about the whole thing.

The husband had paused at the light, had his hazzards on, and the other car at the intersection waved him on. I don't believe he was pulled over for speeding, just for running the red light.

Now, from the police officer's perspective, I'm sure he has heard every excuse in the book, from 'my wife's pregnant', to 'my Mom's dying'. Naturally, he didn't believe their initial story and was trying to be a bit careful in this situation, but when the wife got out of the car, frantic, yelling incoherently that her Mother was dying, perhaps he suspected drugs or something. I don't know, but I do know that in her distressed state, I couldn't tell what was going on, and I doubt he could.

I'm not taking his side AT ALL, I'm just suggesting that the initial minute or two were possibly justified in his opinion. After the situation had been explained, common sense and basic human decency should have taken over and he should have let them go. Especially after the story was corroborated by hospital staff, after that he was just being a . . .a you know what.

Also, it's not surprising. We have a lot of power-tripping cops all over Dallas and Plano, with nothing better to do than to pull over people doing 5 miles over the limit.

A police officer had made me feel this way once I can't even explain how I felt because I was grew up thinking that cops were the good guys....

I heard a news interview today with a witness, and the newscaster said the same thing. You're supposed to stay in the car when pulled over. So yes, when a frantic woman gets out screaming, I could see him getting defensive, and then the husband got out, which I'm sure made it worse. But as you said, after being told several times a woman was dying, he should have been able to tell by their demeanor that they were telling the truth.

It also showed the police chief apologizing for him, and saying he was on administrative leave. Someone else said he might lose his job.

I would really like to know which part he thought was 'unexpected'... because, in my book, running a red light, refusing to pull over for an extended period of time, and then all 3 people jumping from the car as soon as it parks, definitely warrants a gun being drawn by the police.

I'm interested to find out where it is that this red light running took place, because to me, it is odd that a Dallas PO pulled the car over in Plano?? LTP, any insight??

A friend of mine dates a Dallas PO, and just like a policeman anywhere else, they all hear some type of excuse when you pull someone over about 5 out of 10 times (from his words)... however, IMO, this policeman crossed the line when he began making personal remarks and even worse when the nurse came outside to plead their case.
