I don’t get it either. The bottom of shoes is no different then the bottom of feet. They both have tracked through the same things. If your shoes are protecting you from the gross floor (and I don’t think floors are that scary, or grass, or patios, etc.) why worry?

Regardless of hubby’s looks, she was smart enough to pick the saner/nicer of the two men. If the cousin is better looking I bet this makes him even more enraged.

I used to say “white trash” more, and casually (and I’m in California) until a friend told me how classist it was. Basically it’s not respecting them for being poor and/or uneducated. I still find I say redneck, but that seems reserved for a certain in your face, Confederate flag waving type.

If she was on suicide watch, here she is kept alone on purpose and they are waking her up by intercom every f’ing hour to check on her rather than look in on her, after they had been in trouble for this before. So this depressed woman is not even allowed to sleep for more than an hour uninterrupted. That is sick and…

I think it’s more likely that they never have been called out for stuff before. Just like the examination of Sandra Bland’s hanging was a Justice of the Peace who walked in, said he saw, saw marks on her neck, saw a bag hanging from “something” (his words) so it was obviously a self inflicted hanging. Move along. Two…

He was also marginalized. Looked crazy, was homeless, so it was assumed that anything could be done to him. Not typical “white”. And F that jury for letting the murderers off the hook.

Well, look at her saying cuss words AFTER being thrown to the ground and threatened. Not very lady like, was she....said no SINGLE person EVER with an iota of empathy.

I want to “like” your post about training, but I’m not, because training wouldn’t help this cop. He was a bully and cost her his life one way or another. And he had no problem lying about what happened and making sure her charges the higher “assault” vs. “resist”. He can rot.

Oddly enough, the Texas DPS has put the cop on desk duty. We haven’t seen the video, but they have. They said he violated rules. You say she “kicked” the cop, we have his word and the video.

Your ex doesn’t want you to be happy. He wants to be the best thing you ever had, even if he’s an ass. Don’t listen to him.

I’m okay with young men not noticing me anymore because I’m kind of leery of young men, especially groups of young men, even though I have always been in male dominated jobs. I like being old enough now to not get their notice. It happened somewhere between 45-50. I also am weirded out when a young guy does flirt…

I don’t know how she was treated, but I know she didn’t belong there in the first place and being there is what caused her death.

Sorry to hear that. That sounds awful.

Some news. the cop that pulled her over is on desk duty and it looks like there were violations. Plural. http://www.kbtx.com/home/headlines…

Don’t forget, they sais they weren’t going to ticket her...just issue a warning. Yeah right. That’s why she needed to get out of the car. There are calls out there for the dash cam video, I’d like to see them myself.

According to DailyKOS, the police have her logged in as having posted her bail and been released. That’s weird. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/07/…

Someone on twitter posted a pic of the trash bag liners outside the cells. The cheap, flimsy, small kind. I assume they probably didn’t have different kinds and if they did, probably didn’t give prisoners the more expensive industrial kind.

Even IF (and that’s a big, big if) she did kill herself, I’m still furious. She had everything going for her, was down there for a good job, gets pulled over for something that is routinely ignored, gets roughed up, ends up in jail facing a serious charge and could have her life ruined. Over nothing. It’s sick and…

She defended it hard. “Stories don’t need an upside. Not everyone has to feel good about the truth. If it’s true, you publish.” Outing someone, who’s married with kids, who was being blackmailed by a nutjob escort? Yep, that’s fine. By this logic we should see the pics from the creeeper, because hey, it’s news.

The escort was promptly outed (the leg pic is a standard one of his) and his real identity, too. The guy is flat out crazy, Obama is the anti-Christ and Sodom & rainbows are bad kind of fundie. I now doubt the story is true, which would make this even more of a disgusting piece.
