Texas Arrest

Oh and also arresting her for no reason, following her out of the emergency room to re-arrest her, and refusing to investigate.

Bridgett Nickerson Boyd is writing a new take on a famous N.W.A. song. The Texan is suing her local police for defamation, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, assault and battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. According to reports, after arresting her for driving on the shoulder, police forced her to listen to Rush Limbaugh, who was making derogatory remarks about African Americans. When Limbaugh was informed of the incident, he discussed it on his radio talk show, insisting that he only makes derogatory remarks about Liberals, and that the woman was lucky to have an opportunity to listen to his wisdom.
