Don't you just hate people who think laws do not apply to them?

Rick Perry for president 2016

[Smitty Mcfarland]

Where is the original video unedited where he is cussing her out? Your video is obviously edited to block out his real tie-raid where he demeans her and shows his true colors?

I'm not a big fan of Perry, but any trooper ought to know who their boss is (even if he was "just" Lt. Governor at the time), and anyone knows you don't write up your own boss. Whether you agree with that or not isn't the issue. She's not going to endear herself to him or to his subordinates, i.e. her bosses at DPS. In any event, I couldn't see giving the driver a ticket. He was following the orders of the top law enforcement dog in the state.
