I never heard of that “sop”, and have rolled the window up during traffic stops. And said “sop” sounds completely made up since once the cop walks away he can’t see in the car either way. And he was NOT combative until the cop started demanding he keep the window down for no good reason. And you CAN see through the window just fine. They had no NEED to pull him out of the car. Or to cuff him. Or to slam their knee into his back when he was on the ground and cuffed.
The cops turned a simple traffic stop into a pointless confrontation. He was cooperative until they got stupid.
Look at the video, he is telling the cop what to do and putting up the window while the cop is making initial contact.
He was cooperative until they got stupid.”

Not what I saw:
“Don’t tap on MY window”...
Did you miss the part where the first thing he said to the cops was “don’t bang on my window” repeatedly? He was combative and dismissive from the get go.
