I’ve had bad Monday mornings before, but nothing compared to Bridgett Boyd’s morning.

On the way to work at her job at a local bank, Bridgett’s had car trouble on the Beltway 8 in Houston.  She pulled over and a police officer soon pulled up behind her.  She thought he was there to help.  She thought wrong.  The police officer gave her a ticket for driving on the shoulder.  I imagine she was a tad huffed about that, so the police officer decided to arrest her.  He put her in the back of his patrol car.  Bridgett, who has never been in trouble ever before in her whole life, panicked.

Paramedics were called and they took her to the hospital.  The officer, who appears to never have arrested anybody before in his whole life, followed the ambulance to the hospital and waited until she was released, where he cuffed her and drove her to the jail.

But, it gets worse.  According to the lawsuit she filed —-

To make matters worse, Boyd claims in a lawsuit that the handcuffs were put on her wrists painfully tight – she claims she explained to the officer she had just had surgery on her hand – and that she was forced to listen to Rush Limbaugh “make derogatory comments about black people” all the way to the jail. Boyd is African-American.
