Ras. I sometimes agree with the things you post. But that is one of the last videos you want to post because of that guy. He is "preacher" out in Arizona. He is batsh!t crazy.

I've seen a few of his videos. He didn't appear to be out there. Seemed pretty reasonable, for him to be a preacher.

What is he hiding there by the side or underneath the car? Why did he lead them on a pursuit? A lot unanswered here.

Florida Man Awarded $37,500 After Cops Mistake Glazed Doughnut Crumbs For Meth

As Rushing drove away from the convenience store, police pulled him over. The officer said he had been driving 42 miles an hour in a 30 zone and had failed to come to a complete stop before entering the roadway.

But Riggs-Hopkins had noticed some crystals on the floorboard of the car, and when officers used a field testing kit, the white substance tested positive for methamphetamine.

Rushing said that was impossible: "I've never even smoked a cigarette," he protested.

The officer showed him the substance in question, and Rushing was aghast.

"That's glaze from a Krispy Kreme doughnut!" he explained. "I get one every other Wednesday."

But officers weren't buying it. Rushing was booked on charges of possessing methamphetamine while armed with a weapon.

As he sat in jail, he asked himself, "Lord, what am I doing here?"

Are we supposed to feel bad for her?

You're welcome to feel however you want. Pretend like he's an NFL player escorting a groupie off his property. Now how do you feel?

My take is that police officers shouldn't be able to use any little excuse to escalate violence. If the average Joe did this, there would be charges and they would stick. Police are public employees and they need to be held to a higher standard than the general public. I understand that they must escalate sometimes in self-defense, but that excuse does not fly here.

I would be against a regular joe being charged for this.

There was an college football player a few years ago that had to deal with a drunk skank and the public outrage around that situation was far different than what I'm seeing after this incident. I think deep down, America has a perverted fetish for men in uniforms... particularly state authoritarian uniforms. A cop or law enforcement officer can do anything up to murder and a soldier that was probably washing dishes in Germany still gets a "thank you for your service" from the majority of people.

Also, this will surely result in a settlement. The officer probably won't be punished by the legal system, but the people will.

That's fine and all. In fact, I may actually agree with you. The simple fact is our regular Joe would be cuffed, arrested, taken to jail, have to post bail, and be on the cover of Just Busted the next day. He would then be charged and almost certainly convicted of aggravated assault.

Probably so, it may just be that lately I've developed a real low tolerance for drunk *******s of either sex.
