Things I don't hear from the left that I usually do.....

-Pulled over for driving while black

-they could of let her go

-it was just a minor traffic violation, why pull her over

If you don't see this AND OTHER reactions as political affiliation, you're not paying attention....

I’m sure TVC will have the answer, but even though she failed a field sobriety test, don’t they still have to administer a BAC test for the record?

 If she indeed was  driving while intoxicated with her grandchild, she should also be charged with child endangerment, which is a serious offense.

My opinion?  She was drunk.  Or at least belligerent as she could possibly be.  

I'm fairly informed on political matters and I wouldn't recognize his wife if she was in a lineup.  I highly doubt that the police office we're talking about had any idea that she was THE Mrs. Allen West. 

That doesn't mean that the media is being biased by not reporting on it like they do every OTHER time an AA in a position of power gets pulled over.

We get body cam footage of everything else, where is any footage of this arrest? 

Hopefully soon to put this to rest one way or the other.  Innocent or guilty I really don't care. If this was a DUI due to a prescription and not being abused, I don't see this as a big deal....

Still having the left v right debate eh? Brainwashed sheep. You’ll never catch up at this point; you already lost

when you're looking for a "reasonable response" from the right, hippy is one of the guys you usually go to.  I'm another.  Hippy has a point here that I happen to agree with.  The media absolutely would've reported this differently if it hadn't been Allen West's wife, but instead an African American democrat's wife.

That's really my only point.  The assumption of guilt from the left and media because she is a Republican's wife.  

As for Allen's voice on social media, he should have kept his mouth shut, although I get him trying to protect his wife's honor.

I don't think it's really an assumption of guilt as much as a lack of interest.  Where had this been Al Sharpton's wife, and had Sharpton been screaming the same nonsense that West was, there would be a movement of support for her and claims of racism by the media and other activists.  But I do agree with you for the most part.

I see the point of your thread and it is a point well taken. The only reason for my questioning guilt or innocence was Mr. West producing receipts for evening. I would like more proof than a field sobriety test. I failed one in Vegas years ago. I explained to the officer that I had worked a double shift and was exhausted. It was the truth and he believed me and sent me on my way.

I'd like to see some bloodwork or a breathalyzer.  If she's innocent, she wouldn't be the first person who failed a sobriety test for reasons other than inebriation, like the example you gave.  But there are also plenty of closet drinkers out there who hide their alcoholism and drinking from those closest to them.  Perhaps this could be the case with her as well.

Here is footage released by Dallas PD.  Two things I noticed, she didn’t follow directions very well and at times she did seem sorta confused. She also mentioned she had never been ticketed for anything before,  which could explain her stopping in the middle of traffic and maybe being overwhelmed with the entire situation. I’ve been drunk before, more times than I car to mention, and to me, she was not intoxicated…..was she on some prescription drug🤷🏻‍♂️

She was driving like she was drunk.  I'll admit I didn't care enough to watch the whole video.  I'd guess she was probably texting or something.  

I agree, I just posted the article because it showed the end result.  There seemed to be reason to stop her by her driving, she was acting strange, maybe because she had never dealt with something like this and was very nervous.   I didn't see the cops doing anything insidious as Allen West claimed.

She did some weird things like stopping in the middle of the road, and not being able to follow some simple instructions.  I'm not going to second guess the officers, I mean the could of been saving lives.....

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.

      Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
