Definitely not the smartest thing he could do, but we don't know what was said to him, which made him get out of the car in the first place. For all we know it was some white guy dropping saying racist things. It could also be as simple as the guy yelling for him to slow down, but I highly doubt that.

His driving record is far more concerning than this incident...


He needs to slow it down before something very serious happens to him, or somebody else.

I understand he's young and we all drive fast at times. This pattern of tickets is happening way too often though. It's not just a ticket or two, here or there. It's multiple violations within days and weeks of each other.

Come on  Eric.  You cant have it both ways.  You admit you have no idea what the guy said to make Fowler get out of his car.   Dante has a horrible driving record as you pointed out but it must have been a racist comment.  SMH!

  That is NOT what he said.

Acknowledging the possibility of a racist catalyst to this incident (which is what he did) is NOT the same as definitively stating it was a racist incident (which is what you SAY he did).

He indicated there may have been any number of things that led to this incident.  He just listed two possibilities.

It also probably wasn't as heavy as racism either, but it was obviously enough to make Fowler get out of his car.

It was probably something in between those two lines. You never know though.

Whatever it was, it didn't warrant Fowler's reaction, which is why he was arrested and the victim wasn't. You seemingly search for absolution for Fowler, but there is none.

How can you admit that you don't know exactly what caused the incident, but demonstrably state it didn't warrant Fowler's reaction?

There are any number of subjective factors that could lead up to the decision to arrest or not arrest in a given situation.
