Yep. This what sealed the deal for me. Idc about any thing else. Definite DB and not someone I want in charge of anything

Yes, something is really off. Is this the way he reacted in the military when things didn't go his way? He was a career military officer and should be capable of cool, reasonable reflection. This incident shows he is incapable of such. Really disappointing because up to this time I have always liked the guy. It is rather cowardly to go at a public servant whom he knows can't fight back.

Where is the video?

West is nothing but a politician that’s been trying to win the hearts of police unions for years. He’s a snake. For years he has shaken our hands while thanking us and telling us his address and to take a break in front of his house and vote for him. Screw that. He doesn’t get special treatment because he thinks he’s somebody. He’s a sad excuse of a failed politician in multiple offices. His true colors shined this weekend. You’re too blind to see it or believe it. Regardless if his wife is acquitted, that’s not how a politician or anybody else should handle the situation. Lord knows if he was, god forbid, our governor and this happened he would make an absolute [censored] out of himself and abuse his power.

Pretty much. Look up why he was forced to retire.

West was deployed to Kuwait in 1991 and Iraq in 2003. In 2003, West was charged in an incident that involved the beating and simulated execution of an Iraqi policeman, with West firing a gun near the Iraqi man's head during an interrogation. After an Article 32 hearing was held, West accepted non-judicial punishment, was fined $5,000, and allowed to retire as a lieutenant colonel.[7][8] After leaving the military, West moved to Florida, where he taught at a high school for a year and worked for a defense contractor, part of this time spent in Afghanistan as a civilian adviser to the Afghan National Army.

meh, not a big thing at all.

You’re delusional. It shows a clear pattern of behavior.

This was another recent incident from your beloved idiot. Nice job calling a cancer survivor a “cancer”

Got to admit I haven't read all comments or accusations, but if that officer took a drunk driver off the streets, she deserves a medal. I absolutely despise a drunk driver. When my son became a LEO, I told him I wanted him to do 2 things. Number 1 always be honest and number 2 any time you stop a drunk driver, they go to jail. I don't give a damn who they are. F all drunk drivers.

I’m not going to judge a war time incident especially in regards to actions he did that may of saved lives on his team or the whys in general. Rules of engagement have their reasons but the lack of reciprocalness should be noted though

But I expected more level headedness in terms of current situation

totally understandable. It was an unforced error for sure.

I'm at the same place Bobo is. As far as the incident in the military, I think they should be able to do much worse than that to the scum terrorists. I can push that to the side, right or wrong.
I can't get past the way he's acting about the current situation. He's in 100% emotional thinking mode.

I’m not saying I disagree with what he did and why he did it in the military, what I’m saying is he’s left a certain path of behavior that’s unbecoming of a Governor

Press conference at 330PM by DPD Chief.

Is it a public apology at the West house?

With all due respect, so did Trump. I'd still vote for him in a heartbeat.

That is Tuesday.

Anyone have a link to it?

Cliff Notes?

It's on Dallas Police facebook page.

I dont facebook.....

With out context or understanding of the duress I think it’s irrelevant to this. Personally

With that said it doesn’t matter any more. He is retired from Texas politics now.

Well, what happened?

DPD is backing their officer. No apology coming. Chad prather is looking better and better.

The press conference basically said nothing. Very little info. They did show the video of the arrest, but you can't see/hear anything. They did say that the breathalyzer was inconclusive. They said that there was a cup in the car that the officer said smelled of alcohol, but they didn't keep the cup nor confirm the presence of alcohol in it. Everything else was "it's an ongoing investigation"
