Don't know which side you come down on -- the cop's or the woman's -- but it's worth noting for the new class of lowinfo's on FR that yelling orders to a mentally impaired person doesn't help them understand any better. They are slow. Officers should be trained how to treat special needs persons. We had a young Down Syndrome man killed by cops here in Maryland recently -- tased and ultimately suffocated under their weight -- because he did not understand you have to leave the movie theater after your show is over and cannot watch the next showing without a new ticket. He just didn't understand.
I also watched police cause two major vehicle multi-car accidents by ordering people to drive with extraordinary skill instead of patience over icy pavement in one case and around a blockage on the Beltway in another; in both cases, they tried to remote-control nervous drivers by forcing them ahead with intimidating arm waving and grimacing. The resulting 12-car smackpiles ended up costing the drivers and their insurers lots of money.

No yelling, nobody died.
It doesn't work all that well on schizophrenics either.
One of the cops who did this:
was caught on video putting on rubber gloves in front of Kelly, who was handcuffed and sitting on the curb, and telling him, "See these hands? These hands are going to f*** you up!"
Two cops acquitted, one charges dropped.
Kelly died.
