Driving while brown: KY prosecutor ripped for saying being Hispanic is probable cause for arrest
Driving while brown: KY prosecutor ripped for saying being Hispanic is probable cause for arrest
Soooo, what did he say?
fta:
Assistant County Attorney Travis Combs can be heard saying the defense claims Martinez was “stopped because he was Hispanic.” Carter, who was standing next to Combs, can be heard adding, “That’s probable cause.”
“I’m going to act like I didn’t hear that,” Martinez attorney Dawn Elliott immediately interjected.
“I am too,” Judge Wheeler said.
**WOW, seems cut and dry....That is unless you ignore everything else and prefer to have people TELL you what they MEANT instead of thinking for yourself.
fta: Carter, a Republican who has been the Oldham County attorney since 2011, claims he was not talking about the man’s racial background, stating, “I never made any reference to the ethnicity of the defendant. And you won’t find it anywhere on the tape.”
OOOOOHhhhh no way. All he said was the guy was hispanic and that was probable cause. WHAT?!!?! Ya'll are tripping if you thought he meant what he said, you guys are awful![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
FTA: Defense attorney Elliott disagrees, telling reporters, “Clearly he had an opportunity to clear that up on the record over 24 hours ago, but now there’s buzz about it. My reaction and the judge’s reaction speaks for itself. We certainly interpreted him talking about probable cause for my client’s ethnicity.”
Yeah, well, thats only if you listen to words and speak english and stuff
