An @ArlingtonPD officer in Texas tells a Puerto Rican man his Puerto Rican license isn’t valid in Texas and writes him a ticket for having no valid drivers license
I called the police department and they acknowledged the officer was wrong and they dropped the ticket.
Luis Angel Alvelo Gonzalez was recently cited by this Arlington police officer for:
Stop, Stand, or Park on Sidewalk
No Valid Driver’s License – Unlicensed (Now Dropped)
Improper Window Tint or Material Obstructing Windshield or Side / Rear Window
What is surprising is that the officer did nothing to look into whether or not the license was valid, despite Luis’ repeated polite, insistence, that the ID was valid. The officer dismissed it and said you can fight it in court. I called the police department and they acknowledged what we know: Puerto Rico drivers licenses are valid in any state in the United States. A Puerto Rico drivers license is as valid as any drivers license in any state in the United States of America.
The LAPD murdered Keenan Anderson. A beloved high school English teacher and father who FLAGGED THEM DOWN FOR HELP after a car accident. He was a threat to no one. He needed help and it cost him his life. The LAPD must be held accountable for this at all costs. #KeenanAnderson
New records obtained by WFAA show Gov. Greg Abbott’s plan to bus migrants out of the state has cost Texans more than $20 million, as of October. https://t.co/kyR6nL16Rn
Whose choice?
Texas women no longer have a choice to make their most personal decision. This is wrong! Texans need to fight back and vote for Democrats this November and vote against TxGOP. Vote them out!

I can warn you based on our patients.
BA.5 may be the most dangerous strain yet or the reinfections are becoming more severe. But young people are getting pretty f*cked up from it.
New York came close to making it illegal for people with domestic abuse convictions to purchase guns, but the police unions successfully lobbied against it, for completely normal reasons I presume.
It’s worth repeating. A mom drove there. Got handcuffed. Got out of handcuffs. Hopped a fence. Went inside the school and walked out with her two kids. All while 19 officers waited outside the classroom where the gunman was. #UvaldePolice#Uvalde
For 20 days, 8 African miners have been stranded more than 500 meters deep in a zinc mine operated by a Canadian company in Burkina Faso. why on earth isn’t there more outrage on this? Or is Solidarity just a privilege that remains for those who live in the west and are white 🤔
What’s one thing you are constantly recommending and won’t shut up about? For me it’s Libby, the free audiobook app you access through public libraries. Why would anyone with a library card pay for Audible?!“Libby is literally FREE!” I shout at strangers.
