SJB, having watched the video from the start, this officer was very professional with the previous stop and with her AT FIRST.
Unfortunately, as is prone to happen with some folks who wear the race chip on their shoulder like it’s everyday jewelry, she did not even give the officer time to say he was giving her a warning, rather than a ticket.
Some police departments encourage the officers to let the motorist vent some, he was doing that. However, he was well within his legal authority to demand that she step from the car as she was still detained. He would still have to articulate why he did it. His mistake was not clearly articulating to her that if she did not step from the vehicle he would arrest her for failure to comply with/obey the legal and lawful order of a police officer.
He did call for backup which was good, he did call again saying he had a resisting, that too was proper.
Extracting a motorist is tricky, because you can’t use mace, they are effectively blinded and will drive off, you can’t use a Taser deployment because they lose the muscular control to operate the vehicle if it happens to be in drive. Thus it’s almost always hands on if they won’t get out voluntarily.
He could have used the drive stun component of the taser to force her out. He did move her to the sidewalk, you don’t want to arrest or do any business between the cars.
Ideally, the officer should have just interrupted her and said this is warning, not a ticket. There would have been a small chance that she would have turned into sunshiny goodness, but I seriously doubt it.
He would have gone back to his car resolving to give everyone a ticket now, because some people with really bad impulse control have to eff up a good thing.
That woman committed suicide herself, sad but it was not murder as some keep alluding to. Now there will another GD riot when the officer is not indicted on some trumped up “social justice charges”.
Wait till I see the next young person that wants to get into law enforcement, I am going to so Gerber slap them so hard it will make their nipples stiff.
LMAO!!!
Here’s this very patient freeper describing everything in precise detail and I’m impressed with his calm demeanor...until the last line. Good response. Thanks.
He pulls a U-ey after the first traffic stop, then zooms up on her tail.
She gets out of his way when they come to a double lane section of road, but fails to signal (probably nerves, like any of us).
Then, he pops her. I submit that was his plan all along.
