Buddha,
I am with you on this one. This is just one more example why we should ask Texas to secede from the Union.

Well we all know the best way to get 12 opinions on economics is to put 10 economists in a room together.

I was just checking to make sure you all were on your toes. A friend of mine sent that to me and I had to laugh because she has a PhD in economics.

So from that I will now acknowledge the superiority of those minds in the legal profession to those of economists.

AY,

You still wonder why I loathe your home state so much? It almost has to be something in the water that makes dipsticks like Sgt. Raul Ramirez.

But you’re okay . . . for a Texan. Did you get those Flying Monkeys I sent?

Going to the full story link I was interested by the comments. A rough guess is that 50% supported the officer, with the usual answer being that you must quickly obey a policeman’s direct order, without questions. Given that Texans supposedly pride themselves on their independence, this rough, unscientific study leads me to believe that too many Texans are enamored with the need to follow authority. Perhaps the Texan strain of independence is a myth that covers up the inability of many there to question any kind of authority, thus making them excellent fodder to feed totalitarianism.

Sig Heil, Sig Heil. This guy outta be buried.

This reminds me of a case in Detroit that just found a Newspaper journalist guilty for Resisting and Obstructing an Officer. She went through a police line and took pictures. She was arrested and he camera was erased. If memory serves me, she was working for the Citizen Journal out of Wayne County, MI.
