VIDEO: Woman who threw speeding ticket toward Hurst Police officer brings complaint to city council @FOX4
...
HURST, Texas - A Hurst woman and the local police department are telling different sides of a story involving a traffic stop and a thrown speeding ticket.
On Jan. 16, Taneisha Thompson was stopped by a Hurst police officer after allegedly speeding in a school zone.
Hurst Police released body camera footage of the incident on Tuesday. In the video, an officer issues Thompson a traffic citation after a brief conversation.
Thompson is seen throwing the ticket back at the officer, who then placed Thompson under arrest with the help of another officer. Officers pulled Thompson out of her car and onto the ground before arresting her.
Thompson's child was present in the passenger seat of the vehicle at the time of the incident.
Thompson has hired civil rights attorney Lee Merritt as she considers legal action against the Hurst Police Department.
She says she suffered a black eye, a lip injury that required stitches and several bruises on her body from the incident.
Thompson read a statement to reporters on Tuesday evening during a press conference before sharing her story with Hurst City Council.
"I am here today because this is bigger than me—this is about all of us. It is about ensuring de-escalation, about prioritizing the safety of every citizen, so that no one else endures what I did. I am deeply grateful for all the support I have received from around the world—this is a call for justice, for humanity, and for safety. I will not be silenced," part of Thompson's statement read.
Merritt answered questions during the presser.
When asked about Thompson's throwing of the ticket, Merritt said: "I tell my clients, I tell the public in general, it’s not best to litigate a case on the side of the road. If you’re upset about a police encounter, hold your peace, hire an attorney, file a complaint with the police department later."
He also stated: "I let the public know, just because this is the law, that you actually have every right to be rude to law enforcement. Not best practice, but you have every right to be rude."
Hurst Police are standing by the officer.
"Corporal Morgan acted in full accordance with the law and with our department’s policies and the department stands firmly behind his actions," Hurst Police Chief Billy Keadle said.
The department conducted an investigation into the incident after Thompson filed a formal complaint claiming excessive use of force. The investigation determined the claims were unfounded.
Alex del Carmen, a criminologist at Tarleton State University, viewed the footage and said the officer's actions were lawful.
"What I said after reviewing the entire footage was that the woman was very disrespectful of the office during the entire exchange. Further, that the officer, up to the point of handing the ticket to her, was very respectful, professional and showed restraint," del Carmen said.
"However, when the woman threw the citation out the window, the officer had the choice of either giving her another citation for loitering, ignoring it, or asking another officer to step in. Instead, he chose to issue a verbal command for the woman to get out of the vehicle, and she refused."
"At that point, the officer used physical force. Although this was awful, it is lawful, for the woman refused to get out of the vehicle and ignored the officer’s commands."

@Chal_oner24 @xdabluesfan @GinoHard_ are pictures easier for you??
look at the ones from the side of the net, not 500 feet away
English

@xdabluesfan @johnref59 @GinoHard_ So when he literally drifts right, carrying the puck away and further from the net that is toward the goal line, got it.
English

@xdabluesfan @Chal_oner24 @GinoHard_ I stopped talking to them.
Just gave them the rule number, if they can't comprehend it, that's on them.
English

@Chal_oner24 @johnref59 @GinoHard_ It doesn't need to move towards the goal, but actually towards the goal line....important distinction.

@KensPoint @WallStreetApes been happening for generations and getting worse!!

@WallStreetApes Holy @#$!
She's way too young to be on EBT.
How the hell has this been normalized!
English

YES ‼️ American shows the EBT junk food ban is going into effect in Florida
She’s at Walmart trying to buy a share size bag of Reece’s peanut butter cups. She scans it and is shocked the price shows up as not covered on the screen
All her other groceries are free but the Reece’s is rejected
It looks like this Walmart may have implemented policies early because Florida’s SNAP junk food restrictions are scheduled to begin on April 20, 2026

Rule 24 – Penalty Shot
English

@johnref59 @worldhockeyrpt The PLAYER must continue forward motion. Read up, big m.
English

@mad_baboon @5150Inprogress @GinoHard_ HE doesnt, the puck does need to keep moving toward goaline. the slow motion side view shows it, moving forward toward goaline
English

@5150Inprogress @GinoHard_ Not a former goalie but last I checked, he had to be moving forward with the puck before the shot.
He wasn’t. SOG shouldn’t have counted.
English

@WakeUpRef @GinoHard_ "Former Minor Hockey Ref"??
towards the goal*line. as it states in the rules
English

@GinoHard_ Puck was clearly not kept in motion towards the goal. Should have been disallowed. But I’ve never seen NHL refs call this infraction
English

@GinoHard_ how do hockey fans not know this by now??
The Shot: The puck must stay in constant forward motion toward the opponent’s goal line.
which Panarin was doing
English

@xdabluesfan @Chal_oner24 @GinoHard_ *puck, is still moving towards goal line. thats all that matters
English

@JaniceT93912546 @worldhockeyrpt but still moving forward, toward the goal line, the puck did not go backwards, which is a stipulation in a penalty shot
English

@worldhockeyrpt Last time I checked sideways was not forward motion but this the nhl...that's embarrassing.
English

@worldhockeyrpt good goal!!! puck was still moving forward!!! never stopped moving it!!
English

@JoshMorrill24 @GinoHard_ ohhhh poor cuck boy has to block people!! lol lol
English

@JoshMorrill24 @GinoHard_ You just became a fan of whatever shitty team you follow.
Welcome to hockey cuck!!
What's trump got to do with anything?? You have severe TDS too!!!

Penguins commentator Phil Bourque went OFF on the decision 😳🗣️
Gino Hard@GinoHard_
The Penguins have their 2nd goal waved off for goaltender interference 😬
English

@dpansportscards @crosbyfan8777 @GinoHard_ I agree, inconsistency. They know video review will back them, even then, they blow calls.
But this one is interference, no one puts him there and goalie in blue
English

@johnref59 @crosbyfan8777 @GinoHard_ I am a ref as well. The inconsistency across the whole league has been abysmal we are criticizing every call because they don't know what they are calling. If the ref thought it was interference and he's standing right there calling a good goal what's the point of the official??
English

@crosbyfan8777 @GinoHard_ I'm a ref. That's goalie interference, if you keep this dumbness up, you'll get 2 for unsportsman
English

@johnref59 @GinoHard_ No it’s not because the league doesnt even know what it is now.. they’re not even making the calls consistent across the board.
