Man Fails in His Attempt to Deal Hurst the Race Card

Willie Hudspeth is mad at the Hurst Police. The Star-Telegram says that the Denton County man claims he is a victim of racial profiling by the Hurst Police Department. He says he was pulled over because he is black. Not so says HPD, which says officer C. Collazo made the traffic stop because Hudspeth was driving 55 mph in a 45 mph zone and because he had improper license plates. The officer says that the license plates on Hudspeth's pick-up were not readable and belonged on another vehicle.

Thankfully for officer Collazo the traffic stop was recorded by the dash-mounted video camera. You can view the whole thing here. While we can't tell how fast Hudspeth was driving, one thing is clear from the video. You can't read his license plate or even tell that he has one.

Despite clear evidence that he was breaking the law, Hudspeth is attempting to play the race card, claiming he is the victim. Puhlease. The S-T says he was let go with a warning. I say he got off easy. He deserves to be pimp slapped.
