3. Good. One would think the arrest should have came first....

by responding police. The article doesn't say, but I wonder if KOA or the couple had to issue a complaint regarding the firearm.

if she had one.

7. Took long enough ...

If an African American had done that, they would have been arrested, or worse, in 5 minutes.

10. In the South with an older white woman, the cop would....

just amble up to her and ask for her pecan pie recipe.

Where I live now, if there's even a mention of "gun" in a call to police, they pull up and make everyone standing around hit the ground and you don't dare move. That includes all bystanders.

You are quite right - if it had been a black lady with a gun and a white couple, there's little doubt the outcome would be different.
