If you check the video, the your question should be: when did we get to a point in this country that citizens can harass cops over a tail light?

When government fears its citizens, we have freedom, when citizens fear their government, we have tyranny.

The cop should have asked her nicely for her information, if she didn't provide it, book the license and issue the ticket and go on his way. He escalated it because she wasn't supplicating enough.

Oh, she definitely wasn’t “supplicating.” Again, LOL.

No.
He gave her a legitimate order to exit the vehicle.
I counted at least 12 SEPARATE ORDERS to step out of the vehicle.
He was not being rude and I think was very professional with her.
He gave her multiple chances.
She was refusing to comply with anything he said.
During a traffic stop a cop can ask you to step out of your vehicle at any time they wish.
A traffic stop is not the time to get an attitude, ignore a lawful order, play with your phone, etc.

I know some people hate cops. I know they have genuine reasons for how they feel. I understand there are often Constitutional issues involved. But this is not one of those times according to the video I just reviewed.
