Lets talk below.

When I saw this video, I thought to myself how quickly this conversation will get lost in the drama of the video. For me, this is the single best reason to eliminate Stop and Frisk Laws. Had that car been full of white kids and the crazy lady inside their white mother, I wonder if in fact Wyatt Earp attempts to take out the tires or his sidekick break out the windows? At some point widsom told the police to allow this idiot (I will rename her when a better description comes to mind) ride herself to whatever end she eventually rode herself to- without all the taser, tire-shots and broken glass nonsense that might cost someone a job(she was eventually arrested).

I might be reaching a bit, but law enforcement in New Mexico faces the same challenges everywhere. Lawlessness. We always knew we needed police officers. This lady is simply one of the many examples of why. What we do not need is authorized vigilante's. The spirit that causes some people to put principle above human life is prevalent in all walks of life. When it makes its way in to a police uniform it needs reasonable restraint. If stop and frisk was a policy that caused a couple of New York's business professionals to get randomly frisked like jury selection, than poor folks might not protest this law. Of course, if everyone was getting frisked the law would have already been challenged.

The American promise of freedom will erode at Stop and Frisk eventually, but what hope do we have to keep keystone cops from shooting at a van full of kids? Dashboard cams help, but is every action of law enforcement caught on camera? We should end Stop and Frisk today......and stop using mini-van tires for target practice. With five kids in the car it rides too low to get a good shot in anyway......SquareBiz (you can "see it" on the video).SEE IT: New Mexico state troopers shoot at woman in speeding in van with five kids
