School teacher killed by police for rolling up her car window

[Christian Liberty]

Ain't much there. You'd be bored to death. Unless you wanted to take courses at Liberty University. Which would still pretty much bore you to death.

I'd be curious to hear from some of the vocal Christians here as to their opinion of that college. I don't know enough about it.

Harmon-Wright, a former U.S. Marine, who served a tour in Iraq, covered his face with his hands as the verdict was read, and one female juror wiped away tears. The former Culpeper Police Officer was then handcuffed and escorted by three Culpeper County Sheriff's bailiffs to the Culpeper County Jail, adjacent to the courthouse.

I didn't know he was a vet. While this doesn't negate what he did, I have to wonder what effect the war might have had on him? He'd very well may have seen "checkpoint shootings" with the tragedy level going both ways.

Doesn't that almost make it worse? Killing people is still disgusting even when done in uniform, whether military or police.

Not likely, being a former cop he will get protective custody and special treatment in prison. And -- more than likely -- the lightest possible sentence. The JustUs system takes care of their own ...

:sad:

I don't know much about it either, but recently there was a student from here who was attending Liberty University who (allegedly) lured a campus cop into his dorm room and attacked him with a hammer -- and he ended up being shot and killed.

I kind of wonder if hearing about stories like this (the teacher) or others involving cops behaving badly maybe drove him to do that? Or maybe he had a bad personal experience with the police ? Or maybe he was just a cop killing thug -- but I can't imagine your average straight-arrow Christian university-type wanting to attack a cop for no reason ...

Admin's plz put this story where ever you think it belongs. 2 sides of the story here. I'm kind of biased myself. The 54yo unarmed woman kind of made it so. It's just another disgusting example law enforcement members not living up to the oath they took. More to write my congressman about, city council members, county board members, etc.

Un-fucking-believable.

Ms. Patricia A. Cook had the right to keep her window closed after providing her DL and proof of insurance.

But even if she did not provide those items the penalty is not death.

Police officers are pissed of because of the Salinas v. Texas case and are determined to force us to waive our Miranda rights.

Now you see why Russians insist on having dash cams.

Actually, she didn't have to provide them at all.

Please elaborate.

Please elaborate.

Cop had no probable cause. Read this thread from the start and you'll find a more detailed answer.

Here in Texas we do.

Do you have a link supporting your assertion?

The operative word is FREE, but we live in a police state.


"Appellant first contends that, since the traffic stop was based only upon violation of a traffic law by the driver, the officers had no authority to request identification from him initially, as a mere passenger, absent reasonable suspicion to extend the scope of the investigation to him. We disagree. During a routine stop for a traffic violation by the driver, officers may question the driver; request his license, insurance papers, and information on ownership of the vehicle; and ask about the driver's destination and the trip's purpose.*fn35 And the court of criminal appeals recently noted that "the detaining officer may also question the vehicle's occupants regarding their identities, travel plans, and ownership of the vehicle."*fn36 But the court in that case was addressing the scope of an investigative detention of a driver, not a passenger as to whom the officer had no separate reasonable suspicion of criminal activity."

Perhaps he didn't.
Maybe he just grabbed the hammer to defend himself from an assault.

History is written by the victor.

Maybe I'm misreading your thoughts, so do you see your mental conundrum and it's resolution? (Just in case my question is misinterpreted, no, I'm not being degrading)
