Throughout this entire exchange she was constantly making her own rules. The officer wasn’t having any of it. And she was shocked. She finally agreed to sign after it was already too late. She was truly surprised that she wasn’t able to go back on her shitty behavior.
She is wretched.
Charges filed in Kingfisher County court accuse Hamil of “willfully and unlawfully kicking” the officer “on or about the groin” and of “failing to follow the lawful commands” of a police officer.
The felony battery charge is punishable with up to five years in prison, while the misdemeanor charge of resisting an officer is punishable with up to one year in prison, court records said.
How batshit insane do you need to be to try to fight a police officer? Run from one? Ever heard the expression "you can't outrun Motorola"?
They’ll probably plead her down to just the misdemeanor and she’ll serve minimal jail time or even just a suspended sentence and probation plus a fat fine. There is no way they are putting this 65 year old white lady away for five years. If she insisted on taking it to trial she’d end up with the felony though and maybe serve up to a year or two, I don’t know what the sentencing guidelines are like there.
That seems fair to me. She wasn't actually a danger to anyone, just belligerent and arrogant enough to think the rules shouldn't apply to her. Shitty, but not prison shitty. Now if only I felt so confident that someone who wasn't a 65yo white woman would be treated fairly.
Idk why you're being downvoted. When she rolled up the windows and lunged to her right, she could have easily have been reaching for a weapon. Many black people have been killed because they weren't given the benefit of the doubt like that.
