Charges should be filed against 'Sharita', her lawyer and that white dude who claims to be black, Shaun King.

Lawyer apologizes for falsely accusing trooper of rape



DALLAS - An attorney is apologizing for spreading allegations that a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper sexually assaulted a woman during a traffic stop and arrest in North Texas. The apology came hours after DPS released two hours of the trooper’s body camera video.

Around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, a state trooper pulled over 37-year-old Sherita Dixon-Cole on suspicion of drunken driving. She told the trooper she was coming from Downtown Dallas and heading to her fiancé’s house in Waxahachie. She said she only had one drink.

During a field sobriety test, the trooper pours out two bottles of alcohol he found in her back seat. He places her under arrest and asks her to sit in the front seat of his patrol vehicle.

That’s the point when Cole said the trooper offered to let her go in return for sexual favors. But that exchange is never heard in the body camera video.

Cole also accused the officer of fondling, groping and sexually assaulting her on the way to jail. But those claims are also not supported by the video.

Hours after her arrest, well-known civil rights activist Shaun King wrote on Facebook and Twitter, “This woman was kidnapped and raped by a Texas State Trooper.” King included a detailed explanation of the claims as explained by Cole and her attorney, Lee Merritt.

King's posts accusing the state trooper of sexual assault were shared on social media nearly 80,000 times. They have since been deleted.

DPS responded to the accusations late Tuesday night by releasing the video in full. The only parts that were blurred or rendered inaudible were those where personal identification information is shared. That information is considered confidential by a state statute, DPS said.

“The Department is appalled that anyone would make such a despicable, slanderous and false accusation against a peace officer who willingly risks his life every day to protect and serve the public," the department said.

Cole’s attorney apologized early Wednesday morning.

“It is deeply troubling when innocent parties are falsely accused and I am truly sorry for any trouble these claims may have caused,” Merritt wrote on Facebook.

Merritt said he does not believe the video from DPS was edited or tampered with in any way. He watched it in full and does believe the trooper acted professionally during the stop and the arrest.

Dressed like that, she looks like a whore and apparently, that's the only place her tiny little brain can go: "You want to screw me because I'm so sexy".

Oh, and a hyphenated last name. It seems like disproportionate number of these "women" Roll Eyes have hyphenated last names.

Just curious about putting her in the front seat. Seems odd. Or maybe there was some reason for it, i dunno. But that, in and of itself would seem to create some suspicion, no?

Except Sharita didn’t apologize - her lawyer did. Where is Sharita’s apology? It will never come.

She should be charged with as many offenses as they can drum up, from slander to obstruction of justice.

Wow, I would never have figured "I'm not really white because I feel black" Shaun King would have hopped on this bandwagon Roll Eyes

It's often taught for DUI arrests. Easier to observe for signs of intoxication.

I think we all know any apology would’ve been insincere as hell regardless the source and she’ll never see the inside of a cell.

here is the BS before the dash cam evidence


https://thegrio.com/2018/05/21...pulled-over-for-dui/

Her family contends that not only was Dixon-Cole not drunk, but she passed a breathalyzer test as well.

The family also alleges that the trooper who pulled Cole over at 1:30 a.m. on May 20 in Waxahachie, Tex., said Dixon-Cole could go home if she agreed to have sex with him. Details are sketchy as the story continues to develop, but according to Dixon-Cole’s statement, when she declined, “she was taken to Hubbard’s cruiser and forcefully groped, fondled and vaginally penetrated during a prolonged arrest that included assaults outside and inside of the police vehicle.”

Shaun King wrote on Twitter about Dixon-Cole: “I’m not trying to play respectability politics here, but Sherita is a widely respected fully employed human resources professional. She has a BA from @UTAustin and her MA in Human Resources. She has a son in college. I refuse to accept any attacks on her character right now.”

He should be disbarred from practicing law in Texas. His apology doesn't overlook the fact that he jumped to conclusions. At the very least I hope he is sued and punished enough for his business to fail. Best would if he served some prison time.

And that King guy, he needs to go away like that white lady Rachel whatever her name is. He needs to fade into oblivion. Fucking race baiter.

Isn't this what all the cop haters and race baiters and black lies matter crowd wanted? They wanted dash/body cams on officers and now isn't it strange how the officer is shown to be on the truthful side of an exchange majority of the time? When are the assholes going to say that dash/body cams are a violation of their right? Roll Eyes

Seems to be all the rage these days. You know, to show everyone how they're independent (or confused). I don't understand the shit myself.

I am not buying it.

I am not saying he did anything to her. I do not know what happened or did not happen.

I doubt he would of done the same thing to a smelly old man who he pulled over and placed in the car "on suspicion" of drunk driving though.

Do the field sobriety test and then let them go or slap the cuffs on them and place them under arrest and put them in the back and haul to jail.

Anything other than that with a honey like that is troubling in my mind as far as the officers conduct is concerned.

So her family that wasn't even there knows more than the camera footage?

This little asshole king "refuses to accept any attacks on her character right now" yet does that to cops constantly?

Who in their right fucking mind is going to listen to or "follow" this guy when he's a white guy so confused he thinks he's black? That's like trusting Brad Manning to teach me about whether someone is male or female. Really productive there, guy. Roll Eyes

There are articles and forums that state that it is standard practice in many jurisdictions, especially ones where the vehicles do not have cages in the back seat.

Hopefully the officer sues him and cleans out his malpractice insurance and he gets disbarred.

Bitch should be in jail.

This dates back many years, but there were agencies using vehicles without cages which mandated transporting prisoners in the front seat.

More info, specifically on Texas state troopers:

quote:
In a Chevy Tahoe there isn’t a whole lot of room in the back seat because the partition is positioned so that the officer can have more space and ability to adjust their seat. However, other cars may have more space. For example, Texas State Troopers do not have a cage in their car, so if they arrest someone, they ride up front (assuming they aren’t being combative, if they are combative then they request a transport from someone with a cage).

Enough with the cage/sitting in front seat stuff. It's a non-issue.

Body cameras are going to be the doom of these leftist bimbos.

And the left are the ones who demanded body cams. Sweet isn't it?
