Not sure I get what you're driving at- would you clarify? If you were insinuating that Jackson was calling his own personal wild card, I would too if I saw that the odds were stacking up against me and my career as indicated in the article. There was an awful lot of people turning against him at the scene.

Typically modern police departments have the capability to video record all traffic stops, and to transmit audio via a microphone on the officer, to the video recorder in the cruiser. If this had been done, we would have been able to hear the entire exchange between the officer and the driver. I find it interesting if there is no official police video with audio/video/time and date stamp.
2) After the driver attempts to exit his vehicle, which is apparently the first sign of distress from what we can tell, another officer shows up within 8 SECONDS and two others within about 15 SECONDS! This is fast. Abnormally fast. Stupid fast.
On your first point- in the article it says that they don't have cams in the cars. Odd, I know, but evidently legit.
Your second point- Yes, I agree. Like Jimmy Johns.... Freaky fast! The only explanation I can come up with is Jackson made some kind of radio request prior to getting out of the cruiser to talk to the driver. Pure speculation though.
