Cop Gets Chilling Threat After Traffic Stop, Chief’s Response Makes The Driver Instantly Take Back His Words
No one likes getting a ticket, and it can spark an intense emotional response, even when the ticket was justified. However, there is a right way to respond and a wrong way, and a man in Sealy, Texas, chose the latter.
During the initial stop outside Selman Elementary School, everything seemed normal. In an interview with KTRK-TV, Police Chief Chris Noble explained the situation surrounding the incident:

Sealy, Texas, Police Chief Chris Noble.
“There were a few comments made toward the end of the traffic stop by the driver, but nothing, nothing outlandish or anything of that nature,” he said.
Later, however, the man took to Facebook to unleash a profanity-laced rant against the officer, and even went as far as wishing grave bodily harm against him:

With the escalating tensions nationally between law enforcement and citizens, such a statement could rightly be perceived as a threat, with potential legal consequences against the person who made it.
After the post went public, it eventually made its way back to Noble, who handled the situation in a way many would probably not expect.
Noble explained that although the post was disturbing and threatening in tone, he desired to be gracious and change the man’s heart, rather than punish him:

“When activism or something like this confronts you, you run towards it, not away from it. And you take the high road,” he told KTRK. “I truly meant everything I said…, because if his day is better, then the other people around him, their day will be better too.”
According to KTRK, the man issued an apology, saying his post was rash and never intended to hurt anyone, or even for his post to get out to the public. In the age of social media, however, it is important to watch what you say, lest you face serious consequences. As Noble put it:
“The audience you think you’re reaching, may not be the one you’re going to get.”
Luckily for the man, the audience he reached was noble, indeed.

So much angry people since obama the sodomite took over the land.
Yeah, Slimy. The US was a happy, wonderful place, until Obama showed up. It was a year-round love in, and Unicorns roamed the land. PFFFT
This article is incredibly manipulative. First of all, wishing someone ill is NOT the same as a threat by any means.
“With the escalating tensions nationally between law enforcement and citizens, such a statement could rightly be perceived as a threat,”
And I really don’t like how the Police Chief associated “activism” with hate speech.
“When activism or something like this confronts you, you run towards it, not away from it.”
Are you a disinfo shill?
the 13th amendment forbids BAR members from holding office and making all these ridiculous policies, statutes, rules, codes, permissions to drive and live and everything else these communists call the “law” but is not. These traitors need a hanging rope. Not a single thing these BAR traitors say is true.
Extorting money from people in the way of a fine whilst wearing a badge is the worst type of theft, Obey & Pay is criminal no wonder people lose the plot.
What threat?
