Texas Woman On Tractor Leads Cops On Bizarre Chase After They Wouldn't Let Her Enter July 4th Parade

Texas Woman On Tractor Leads Cops On Bizarre Chase After They Wouldn't Let Her Enter July 4th Parade

A 60-year-old woman in Texas faces charges after leading Rockwall Police on a chase where she sped away from them in her tractor.

Laurie Bostic of Rockwall, Texas, outran three officers on her tractor while also being pursued by a squad car. Apparently, she was incensed when officers told her she and her tractor were not welcome into a local 4th of July parade.


A second video shows Bostic being arrested and placed in the squad car.






Bostic was then taken into custody and charged with evading arrest, a 3rd-degree felony.

She is also facing misdemeanor charges of interfering with a processional, disorderly conduct, and criminal mischief.






Folks were quick to comment on the discrepancy they saw between how this woman was treated, and how a similar interaction might have been handled by the police if the perpetrator was a black woman.






While this video is very entertaining, most folks reacted to its hidden implication that a white woman on a tractor would receive nothing more than a slap on the wrist. That same interaction would not have gone well otherwise.

But it is good to know that once can outrun the cops on a tractor.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
