I have shown in the law, in the media and in pictures how a cigarette can most certainly be used as a dangerous weapon.
It doesn’t matter at all if you think it’s a stretch.
That’s why he told the irritated woman to extinguish it.
Police routinely tell people to extinguish cigarettes.
It’s a lawful order.
As soon as she disobeyed his order, she was subject to arrest, which she then resisted.
It’s really that simple.
Bullshit
All he had to do is to finish the paperwork,
hand her the ticket, and be on his way.
He is suffering department consequences for
failing to observe stopping and courtesy
policies.
If all the guy is going to do is to give
her a ticket then he should have stopped
provoking her once he knew she was adgitated.
That is part of their training. The cop blew
it and is getting sanctioned for it.
