ANOTHER REASON PEOPLE DON'T LIKE COPS

Once he said "no" to needing help the cops should have offered a ride home or left. The cops after that point are full of shit and should be arrested and charged for kidnapping.

Gary, you should know better than to come up with crap like the cops "should be arrested and charged for kidnapping." That's absolutely absurd!

On the other hand, I tend to agree with Reese when he believes the call that brought officers to the scene and his subsequent arrest were based on the color of his skin. Plano is a high-dollar community and only eight percent of its residents are black. To some and to the arresting officers, Reese probably seemed out of place.

BGB, I realize it won't happen because no one will charge them, but it's not crap it's what should happen. There was no reason for this.

If the police start being criminally charged for doing stupid and illegal stuff then it'll stop.

The DA won't even charge the cops with false imprisonment which is the least charge they should receive.

Trey said...

The least charge that could have been received is failure to identify upon investigation of a crime. That crime being a class c misdemeanor for standing in the roadway.

Trey, You can't possible believe what you posted. If the cops wanted to issue a citation they should have said so, they never did.

There is no such thing in Texas as "failure to identify upon investigation of a crime".

Trey said...

Just look up "Failure to Identify." 38.02. FAILURE TO IDENTIFY. (a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally refuses to give his name, residence address, or date of birth to a peace officer who has lawfully arrested the person and requested the information. ... (2) a Class A misdemeanor if the offense is committed under Subsection (b).

Retired LE after 42 years. I know a thing or two about a thing or two. Have a nice day.

Right, he was detained not arrested.
He was arrested after he said no to giving his information.

I'm a retired citizen who also knows a thing or two about a thing or two. Have a nice say as well.
