And Finally, Very, Very Foreseeable Consequences is brought to us this week by Ex parte McGuire, in which a police officer spotted Faya Rose Toure, “removing a campaign sign from property adjacent to Tabernacle Baptist Church.” Officer McGuire, “pulled his patrol vehicle alongside Toure’s vehicle, and asked her to return the campaign sign she had removed. Toure told McGuire to ‘go to hell’ and drove off, running a red light in the process.” Predictably, Ms. Toure made a bit of a fuss upon her arrest. Not only was she aggrieved regarding her treatment, she was furious when someone mysteriously released her mug shot to the press, which ran it on the front page of the Selma Times Journal. When asked, the chief of police stated that he, “could not recall who had released Toure’s mug shot.” Dang memory loss. In hindsight, perhaps prudent to simply return the campaign sign? Discretion, valor, and all that jazz?
