He is issuing her a ticket for a routine traffic violation. Suddenly he orders her out of the car.
Why? What was the probable cause for ordering her out of the car?
None.
What was the reasonable suspicion?
NONE.
All he had to do was issue the stinking ticket. THE COP ESCALATED and had no reason to order her out of the car except to be a Dictator and throw his weight around. To command a person who was not treating him with respect just to DEMAND respect from her. You know the game.
People say she was resisting arrest. Well, what cause did the idiot cop have for arresting her in the first place? Because she wouldn’t sign the ticket. He never gave her a chance. He went straight to “put out your cigarette”. Because like any power mad dictator, he gave her a command just to control her.
Dictator cop was completely out of line and escalated the situation. All he had to do was drop the ticket in her lap and say “good day mam”.
Done. End of story. Instead dictator cop goes on a power binge. Why? Because he can and he knows a lot of people like you support his abuse of power, just out of your respect for police generally.
Maybe you need to be enlightened. After he returned to her car, there is no doubt he was still concerned about her behavior and allowing her to continue driving. As we know now, he was accurately assessing her behavior and she was compromised because of “substantial marijuana in her system”. So what did you want him to do as he was observing her erratic behavior, turn her loose and let her kill a family? He asked her to put her cigarette out, because he was preparing to ask her to get out of the car and he no doubt didn’t want his face crushed with a burning cigarette. Thai is ridiculous, the gal was not complying with his orders, she was obviously out of control and needed to be subdued.
The cop didn’t do anything other than take an obviously unstable woman whom he alleges assaulted him to jail.
You not liking his attitude matters as much to me as my not liking her attitude matters to you, and either way, none of it matters.
He didn’t kill her. She killed herself three days later, and that has nothing to do with him, so the entire subject of him and the arrest of her is moot.
She is the cause of her own death, so go argue with her about it if it bothers you.
