From the bodycam footage, the daughter was initially cited for reckless driving, failure to yield to an emergency vehicle, and driving on a suspended license, while the father (Bill Walker, a former Arkansas state senator) was briefly detained for obstruction after interfering with officers and resisting commands during a vehicle inventory search and tow attempt. Another male family associate was also detained during the scuffle. However, after the father called the police chief (who then involved or informed the mayor), the chief arrived on scene and ordered all citations voided, the tow canceled, and everyone released without further action. No formal charges were ultimately filed against anyone.The father called the mayor (and police chief) during the confrontation to leverage his personal connections and political influence in an attempt to halt the police proceedings, get his daughter released, and prevent the vehicle impoundment or any citations—essentially pulling strings to make the situation go away. Officers noted his status as a former senator played a role in the quick de-escalation and dismissal.

The first thing they always scream is, why are you touching me, I didn’t do anything. 🤣😂🤷🏻‍♂️

No, we need to have mass repatriations. The time for talk is long past.

Segregation makes sense.

She needs to resign She is unfit for duty

She gets her “dindu nothings” and her “I can’t breathes” out of the way in the first minute.

Man! That's why I study every single day and also study law quite frequently. Ignorance of the law (as well as police procedure, knowing and understanding it) is Black Americans' achilles tendon, generally and collectively-speaking. When a car is being impounded, it is police procedure pursuant to statute for the car (items inside it) to be inventoried; additionally, to make sure there are no open containers (alcohol), contraband, and/or weapons. Arguing against established policy (and procedures) makes us look very bad, very ignorant, and unnecessarily contentious. In fact, it unnecessarily complicates things. Anything disagreed with can be addressed at the administrative impound hearing (which must be requested in writing and submitted to the agency authorizing the impound) and/or in court during the trial or at a preliminary hearing before the scheduled trial. If Black Americans want to be successful playing this game called Life in America, it will take or require wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. There's no other viable way to play and win at this game. Emotionalism is an impediment, a liability. It only exacerbates matters. It is not helpful.

So what would you call it if you can get away with committing crimes cause your father knows the chief? If I didn't know better, I'd say that sounds like "privilege".

Stay safe out there

The fact that we have any good cops still showing up to work after dealing with this 💩 is only by a miracle.

The time for a conversation is over and time for segregation to begin.

WTF? The dad was obstructing the vehicle search, had the keys when he said he didn't, and refused to back up when instructed. How was he let go?

The police chief and the mayor of Little Rock are corrupt pieces of shit @SarahHuckabee you need to get your people straight this is disgusting.

White woman shows up and starts with the Racial justice BS.

Total corruption: He calls the chief of police and mayor and is released, totally undermining the rank and file.

They need help.

I’d tell that chief and mayor both to stick it up their asses! And go find a better department to work for. Where you are appreciated and leaders that have your back!

Fucking black people are so stupid

The whole family… nothing but a bunch of criminals!

Why are those who are confrontational with police always on their phone?

No. They need to be held accountable for their behavior.

She can't breathe, but she can scream, yell and fight the police 😤

I think we’re headed to a demographic divorce.

Faking the victim once they are the problem.
