May later said he was out of line.

Escambia County Commissioner Lumon May has become the subject of considerable backlash since video of a confrontational traffic stop involving him and a Pensacola Police officer became public last week.

The video shows the commissioner yelling at the female officer to call her supervisor after she pulls him over saying his license plate number doesn't match his vehicle. May later said he was out of line.

"Should I have allowed myself to escalate my voice? Absolutely not," May said. "But should I have been detained? Absolutely not. I've got to be more sensitive and, and they've got to be more sensitive as well. If you make a mistake, you admit it and try to move forward to a solution."

May told the officer he did not have his registration or an insurance card when asked for it, and refused to give her his driver's license.

"I'm not giving you anything until you get a superior here," May says in the video.

I already posted that and Oats is denying it. Clearly there is something else going on w/ him. His meds or whatever. I don't think there's anything more to be said.

Yeah he's like a dog with his favorite bone...racism....

He's like his littl Brother Boards and anti-religion

This is hilarious......if you say something a great many times it becomes the truth.   Sorry.  It does not.   Nowhere has May said....."I was out of line"

What he said was that the officer made a bad stop.  His intent was clear to quell the mob, but how can you apologize, or say "I was out of Line" when you are quoted in the paper as saying the officer was wrong........

I love when people make chit up from thin air....and use their wishful thinking to fill in the blanks.

He is clearly irrational denying something that is in black and white. I think part of it is his meds and the other part is his personality. He see's himself as one lone righteous voice against a mob mentality. Shades of delusions.

Yeah he's like a dog with his favorite bone...racism....

This stop has nothing to do with racism.  This stop has nothing to do with sexism.   The mob reaction however has everything to do with the same.  It is particularly ironic that a person for years who has posted on the abuses of police  now believes that police throwing out the constitution is totally acceptable.  This really is a threshold question of what kind of country do you want to live in.....one with almost half of local municipal budgets going to police, or one which has half that much being spent.  I personally think this case clearly accounts for the rapid increase in the criminal justice system budgets.....it has been made crystal clear by the mob reaction to a citizen standing up for their rights.......which is fine if they are white guys at a checkpoint, or who are stopped because of their guns.......dog whistle clarity.

He is clearly irrational denying something that is in black and white.

So then it should be easy to prove that I am irrational.  Please show me the quote by Mr. May: " I was out of line".......you imply that this is in black and white and that I am irrational because I do not accept your interpretation or anybody's interpretation, but the truth is that you are lying......he never said "I was out of line", and my calling you on the carpet for your lie has made you angry........I do consistently get you angry, is it because I am irrational, or is it because I am right?

You need to take it up w/ the newspaper who reported" May said he was out of line." You need to call them and say May never told you that because I say so. You are irrational and wrong.

" May said he was out of line."

Clever putting quotes around a statement in the newspaper to try to disguise that nowhere in any article does the newspaper quote Mr. May except where they put quotation marks around his statements. Are you able to comprehend the difference of an interpretation of what someone said and what he actually said. In journalism it requires a quote......there was none, because he NEVER said those words. Mob hysteria......find a tree.

So the newspaper made that up and you know that? Right?

Mr. May was a COMPLETE gentleman. He was patient, accommodating, soft spoken, and he gave the officer accurate information.

How is that, Seaoat?

"May yelling at the officer demanding she call the police chief. He says now he realizes he was out of line. "I certainly elevated my voice and I probably should have lowered my voice and been able to talk in a reasonable way," said May."

Eat crow,Seaoat.

I've been following this back and forth. May did not himself say "I was out of line". That is clearly a blurb added by whoever wrote the article.

May said what he said in quotes. The author of the article interpreted that as him saying that he was out of line, though May himself did not say that.

Dreams now only post part of the so called apology.....which was not an apology and we have had the full quote of what he said for over a day, and unable to find the quote which never happened( I was out of Line), takes only part of his quote to distort the truth.....it was a bad stop.....How is that an apology......geez Dreams I have had to eat crow many times over the years, but you just handed me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and called it crow.....yep it must be the meds.......no citation, no arrest, and no apology.....it was a bad stop and that officer will have a slip in her personnel file.

This country does not need gentleman and soft spoken sheep. This country needs patriots who stand up for the tenets which our forefathers fought a revolution not to have arbitrary and capricious seizures of our persons without arrest warrants. The Supreme Court and particularly Justice Scalia has said enough with expanding the exceptions to the fourth amendment which this officer failed to properly verbalize and resulting in the need for a supervisor....... and but for the lynch mob who has racial issues which have NOTHING to do with constitution and the efficacy of this stop, this would be filed away as just one more bad stop in the growing litany of the same.

No... we need progressive (enormous govt solutions and controls) social activists to steer humanity.

Well, I'm not crazy. I saw the quote " I was out of line" in the second days article but it is not showing all the articles on the PNJ website. I am going to call the article writer to clarify this and if the article was an interpretation I will admit it but regardless of that May,according to the article apologized. Unless they are making that up too, I think it's clear May admitted his behavior was bad and he felt he was profiled and Seaoat is denying that too.

We've gone over and over this. The computer told the officer that and May himself believed he was profiled which you repeatedly deny. The supervisor issue is not relevant. You keep bringing that up. What is relevant is May's behavior of which he did apologize. If the computer had erroneous information it does not make it a bad stop w/ all your fourth amendment crap. The officer is not at fault for a computer error and acted appropriately in the face of the situation. You,however, erroneously think it is proper for a citizen to behave in the way May did when May himself said he was not appropriate. The video speaks for itself and you are clearly in left field.

The computer told the officer that and May himself believed he was profiled which you repeatedly deny.


I imagine you as Jimmy Stewart talking to Harvey the invisible rabbit.....you seem to be the only one who can hear harvey.......so help me.... go back and listen very carefully and tell me where you heard him say he was being profiled........I mean Mr. May....not Harvey who apparently regularly whispers in your ear.

You're a looneytoon, Oatie.
