Now, Officer Martinez could have escalated that situation.
He could have let his emotions get the better of him, but he didn’t.
He remained professional.
At 4:49 p.m., he issued her three citations.
numbers 2428847, 24-28848, and 24-28849 for reckless driving, excessive speeding, and creating a public hazard.
He documented everything properly.
That is what good police work looks like.
But here is where this case takes an even more disturbing turn.
After receiving her citations, she posted on her Instagram account, username Madison Thornton, which has over 47,000 followers.
These posts
have been submitted as evidence exhibit C through G.
She posted videos mocking officer Martinez.
She made fun of him.
She called him names including Rent a cop and powertripping nobody.
She used her platform to try to humiliate a public servant who was simply doing his job.
