Ok...so you are beginning with the premise it's a duck because she was pulled over and was black. So it's probably a duck until it chirps instead of quacks.

What I want to find out is if the woman he pulled over before Sandra was black. Did you watch that? Routine stop, went back to his car and checked then went back and gave a warning.

BTW...the officer shouldn't have asked Sandra what's wrong. Which he did well before it escalated. If her attitude sucked leave it alone and only ask that question when it might be related to health.[/quote]

Here's what you're saying: Not everything that walks like a duck and talks like a duck is a duck. Therefore, we shouldn't assume that it's a duck just because it walks like a duck and talks like a talk. Instead, we should assume that it's not a duck until an ornithologist confirms that it is a duck.

So, unlimited benefit of the doubt for the police officer; no benefit of doubt at all for the citizen. Why?[/quote]

NO...I am saying we don't even call it a duck until we see evidence it is. And the benefit of the doubt belongs to both the police and the citizen. Now, if we knew the officer has a history of stopping those who DWB...that's a different issue. But how can you call it a duck? Cause the officer was white and the driver black? Not enough there to start waiting to hear the quack.

BTW...just so you know...while I am white...I am a part of a multi racial family, a champion of civil rights from the time CRA was signed and abhor racism in any form.

Also...did you watch the WHOLE video? The one from pull over on? The officer made mistakes....but so did she.

Look, all of us who are pontificating on this tragedy, and her death is tragic, will ever know all of it but there is more to learn that will come out in time.[/quote]
