But before [the deputy] could get very far with his explanation, Ms. Thomas held up her right arm. There was no phone in it. There had never been a phone in it because she has no right hand.

    I saw the bodycam footage of this. The cop says “I saw you holding a phone in your right hand.” She holds the arm up, showing the stump, smiles and says, “you wanna just call it?” And he just digs deeper; “no I don’t want to call it, I saw you doing uhm…” blablabla excuses excuses citation.

    Fucking ego on cops. Could’ve just said, “hah, clearly my mistake” I stead of power tripping and ending up all over the internet. Although bet it won’t affect his police career any.
