You should watch the video. Early in the video, before he started to approach the citizen, lawfully video taping him on her own property, he turned his back on the suspect (who apparently turned out to be innocent as well) and started looking at a speaking to the woman. The suspect was within about a foot of him at the time.
But your statement about the suspect being in the patrol car further undermines the bully cop’s claim that he felt endangered by the woman. The most potentially dangerous part of the traffic stop was over by the time he started shining the flashlight in the woman’s face and bullying her on her own property.
I have great respect for police officers, but this particular one is a bully who lacks the intelligence, courage, integrity, and most of all, respect for the law, to do the job.
The woman, after the officer placed the suspect in the car, and continued talking to the woman about his concerns, then moved the camera to where that officer was standing - the lights from the patrol vehicle obscurred the officer until he walked up to the front of the vehicle. In the video it is quite clear that the woman was NOT in her yard, but was on the sidewalk (public domain, and near to the police action, not private property).
Even after the woman was removed from the area in the patrol car, the people, who continued the video, are clearly heard speaking about the fact that the woman was standing on the sidewalk (again, not private property, and clearly too close to where the officers were performing their jobs).
Your, and other's, reaction to what this officer did is puzzling to me. The woman was clearly too close to the the police when they were enacting a stop and search of the suspect. She argued with the officers after the request to remove herself from the area. She continued to argue, and did not step back onto her property (clearly discerned in the video) until just before the officer decided to arrest her for interfering. Your lies will not hide the truth shown in the video.
