you wrote “She’s resisting arrest and interfering in police duty.

When placed under arrest a professional who knows she is right cooperates and goes with the police knowing she is in the right.”

Truth be told if that was me I would have decked the guy cop or noit. What he did was unlawful and the way he was acting was unhinged. I would have feared for my safety if I had let that cop handcuff me.
If i was prosecuted for hitting a police officer so be it...BUT i would still stand up for my rights

You also mentioned she was arrested for interfering in police duty...she did not, and hence the basis for the false arrest. She was well within her rights and the law for refusing the officer..just because one has a badge on doesnt mean one is God and we bow down to them. If they are wrong they need to be stood up to. In a polite way at first if possible.
A case in point for me happened last week. I was driving into a parking lot in a driving lane and a police cruiser was coming at me perpendicular BUT NOT driving in a lane but rather thru empty parking spots using them as his “lane”. He cut across several lanes of traffic (no oncoming traffic for him to worry about and he wasnt speeding). He never stopped as he crossed those lanes. I saw him and figured he would stop when he saw me driving in. He didnt. I braked hard gave him the horn, gave him a what the hell were thinking stare, shook my head and drove on. I parked my car. He followed me to my space, turned his lights on was getting snippy with me and accused ME of reckless driving. I told him he was not driving in any lane since he was driving thru parking spaces, that he didnt have the right away and that I did. He was going to give me a ticket till i mentioned I had a dash cam that I would gladly show to his supervisor documenting HIS driving if he made an issue of it and wasted more of my time. I also mentioned I had already uploaded it after I parked and saw him follow me. He quickly dropped the issue and gave me a “verbal warning”. Sometimes you have to deal with stupidity!!!!

Emotional reaction, consistent with liberalism and leftism.

I understand it’s human nature and we all can feel that way, but that us exactly what conservatism and bring civilized us about - to rise above or baser natures.

Stuff like this is why I stick an old smart phone on my dash and record as I drive.
