If we're being honest the cop shares in the blame here. Yes, the driver was obnoxious and needed to cooperate and has nobody to blame but herself. The effort on the part of the police to de-escalate and take control of the situation before it got to that point was not enough. She was in cuffs within 2 minutes even though there was never any physical threat. Sometimes the cop has to take extra time to make sure things like this are avoided. He was arguing with her and speaking over her even though what she was saying was idiotic.
Its true that the officer failed to control the stop from beginning to end and the woman was a jackass who nobody would feel sorry for. Equal fail. Hopefully she never made it to the station and somehow the cop found a way to let cooler heads prevail.
first off let me say that i am not anti-cop, i am in no way a "defund the police" type person... but i am very very critical of cops/police..... the old saying usually goes something like this "sure there are a few bad apples that give cops a bad name"... well BS... it's the other way around, most are bad apples and there are very few good ones but things are changing slowly and that is ONLY because of the bodycams, car cams and people recording with their phones... finally holding the police accountable...
but i have no idea what video you watched, or if you are drunk or high...??? first off the cop isn't even out of his car and the lady is out of her car and in the street... everyone knows you don't just get out of your car without being asked to do so by the police.... he told her what her violations were.... running/not stopping for 2 stop signs.... he asked for her license about 6 times... she now must id cause he stated what the reasonable articulate "suspicion" she committed a crime/traffic violation.... she refuses 6 times, she had her chance 6 times, about 3 more times than she was entitled to, she got exactly what she deserved in this instance and i thought this cop showed more than enough patience with her, i will be the first person to point out when a cop does bad.... this isn't it bro.... not at all...???
