Driver's actions made traffic stop worse
It's too bad that the editors of the Daily Herald didn't get a chance to see the video down in Texas when Ms. Bland was stopped for not using her turn signals. What I saw was an adult woman acting like a petulant 6-year-old who had just had her favorite toy taken away.
Had she been contrite and acted like an adult, I suspect that she would have gotten off with a warning and let go. It wasn't a major crime, after all.
But acting like she was above the law made her look very childish and immature.
It's certainly unfortunate the way this turned out, but she was responsible for the problem that led to her arrest.
