This is a video of Rosemary Lehmberg. Who is Rosemary Lehmberg? Rosemary Lemberg, Democratic head of the Travis County DA’s Office(Travis read: only liberal part of Texas, Austin) was arrested for DWI. She fought, cursed and threatened the officers. She thereafter refused to step down, because that would have allowed Rick Perry to appoint someone else to the position, possibly someone who wasn’t a Democrat.

It is a common practice of law enforcement to video uncooperative prisoners to protect themselves and to record possible issues.

So rather than have this woman who threatened officers in a position that actually requires integrity, Perry said he would veto funding the the Public Integrity Unit which was under Lehmberg’s command, until they got their ethics straightened out and did something to resolve the problem.

The Public Integrity Unit’s response? Indict Rick Perry. That’s his “big crime”. According to the Statesman, many Republicans have said the Public Integrity Unit has unfairly targeted their party for prosecutions. The Travis County District Attorney’s office has for decades been led by Democrats, including Lehmberg.

That’s some public integrity, there.

Here’s dashcam of Lehmberg’s arrest:
