It’s tough to reconcile the way the application of certain law enforcement tactics appears to fall along racial lines depending on who the suspect is. In America, when a white man goes on a murderous killing spree, he often lives to tell about it. But when a Black man commits a minor traffic offense, he may lose his life at the hands of the folks paid to protect him.
It was apparently in that same vein that an Oklahoma judge who shot at six cars on more than one occasion during the same day and used his own car as a weapon during a wild road rage episode earlier this month was met with the kind of police response you never hear about when the suspect is Black.
Law & Crime reported that Oklahoma police not only were able to apprehend Judge Brian Noel Lovett of Enid, but they did so without resorting to any force at all despite seeing him in possession of multiple guns after apparently fleeing the scene of the first road rage shooting.
An Oklahoma judge was arrested in Texas for firing a gun at several cars during a road rage incident and slamming his SUV into the back of a woman’s car multiple times. Brian Noel Lovett was released from jail after posting a $10,000 bond. This is what a thug looks like. pic.twitter.com/tRAqw1xQFU

In addition to allegedly shooting at a woman’s car at least five times, Lovett is also accused of ramming the woman’s car multiple times to push her into oncoming traffic. In the face of overwhelming evidence of his guilt, Lovett suggested he did nothing wrong.
