@willcain Just stop, man. You’re not an idiot. I’ve heard you speak for years. But this is unacceptable for an LEO to escalate to this level for a traffic stop. Do you understand that you are perpetuating the problem?
There is some nonsense going on in Caddo Parish (Shreveport), Louisiana.
Black man and white man run against each other for sheriff. Black man wins by 1 vote. He's the first Black sheriff elected in this majority-Black parish.
There's a recount, as you'd expect. He wins that too, again by 1 vote. The election is certified.
*After* the recount, *after* the certification, the losing white candidate sues and says there were illegal votes. There is no evidence that any illegal votes leaned one direction or another — and no *actual* evidence of even a single illegal vote being cast in the sheriff's race.
White candidate finds a sympathetic conservative judge, who declares the election null and orders another one. Again, *after* the recount, *after* the window to challenge votes had passed.

The Black candidate appealed the judge's ruling. The appeal was heard by a five-judge panel: 3 white judges and 2 Black judges.
Today they agreed to throw out the last election and give the white candidate another chance, 3-2. (You'll never guess how those votes split!)
