I was hoping for the typical "git back in the vee-hick-ull sir!" and then a prompt tasering of Perry. One can always dream.

@lobo25usn just because of who he is doesn't give him a free pass to break the law, that's whats wrong today, people think they are above the law...

Ya know what? I would have a heck of a lot more respect for Perry if, instead of; "I regret having got out of the front-right seat," he would've said; "I am sorry for my rude and insensitive response to officer _______ (he should neme her personally). We shouldn't have been speeding, and should have followed the posted speed limit. I ask for forgiveness from officer _______ and the great people of the state of Texas for my impatience and rudeness." THAT'S a quality I'd want in our president.

I remember seeing another video where a middle aged mother in a traffic stop who got out of her mini-van and the police officer ended up using a taser on her. So when I saw the guy get out of his car, I thought "This is not going to end well."

I'm surprised Perry got out of the car twice and even questioned if the aide was getting a ticket. If you get caught speeding, you know your are going to get a ticket. I'd count myself as lucky if I just got a warning instead of a ticket.

What's funny is, he knows how to get that ticket dismissed as well as I do. But if he does that, he let's Pandora out of the box. He reminds me of the politicians that wrote the sex offender laws. A lot of them, and a lot of their friends, ended up being prosecuted by the very laws they wrote.

Now that's poetic justice.

@666audire My thoughts exactly, But like I'd said, if this individuals have the balls to disrespect the Governor, then you and I have absolutely no chance, please God, a little help, just a little.
