Re: Texas Ranger pulls gun on driver who flipped him off
I guess the counter point would be if the Ranger's actions were "definitely illegal" he'd have been fired and arrested.
Unless you guys have seen different articles than I read, I just didn't see much in the way of actual facts. Certainly not enough to make career ending/life altering accusations against LEO.
Again, he may very well have been wrong... my point is only that he deserves to be treated as innocent until proven guilty, just like the rest of us.

Re: Texas Ranger pulls gun on driver who flipped him off
Out of line - I do agree with, but that doesn't necessarily mean illegal. We see a lot these days where right/wrong are used interchangeably legal/illegal and we know they actually aren't interchangeable. (and out of line by the Ranger standards is a lot more stringent than out of line by most others) Not making excuses for him, but I think the calls for his job and prosecution are extremely premature, at least until the all the facts are all out there.Jusme wrote:flechero wrote:Something in the reporting is off, I think.

I won't be so quick to condemn the Ranger. I've seen enough hot heads in traffic to know that most people that flip the bird and swerve aggressively wouldn't bat an eye to lie about the details to stay out of trouble or maliciously get another in trouble.
Lets see..... an admitted hot head (cursing, screaming and exhibiting road rage) and a Tx Ranger in word vs. word. I'll lean towards the side of the Ranger in this one until more evidence is presented, thank you.
Yeah, I would normally agree, but the only incriminating evidence comes from his supervisor, who stated that the Ranger was out of line. They usually won't release a statement, until they have enough evidence.
