You’re wrong. As I said, you can’t follow the simple facts of the case.
You can’t even follow a video with everything that happened right in front of your eyes.
Firstly, the request to extinguish a cigarette is not ILLEGITIMATE. A lit cigarette can cause injury and can be used as a dangerous weapon.
Secondly, he did NOT then threaten her. He ordered her to step out of the car, which she then refused to do. He then repeated the order and told her that he is giving her a lawful order, and then explained that he has the right to do so. He then pointed his taser at her, because she was not complying with his lawful order.
And he never DRAGGED her sorry carcass out of the car AT ALL. She got up out of the car on her own without him touching her at all.
And he threw her in the hoosegow, because she allegedly assaulted him, you cop-hating hippie licker, and yeah, I can tell you’re a drunk, it’s really easy considering that you watched the video but don’t know anything that happened in it.
Good Lord, have we become so thoroughly pussified that a small burn is considered life-threatening?
Go hide under your bed and let the adults talk here. It's quite evident that you need momma government and her mindless authoritarian drones to protect you from the realities of life, since all you seem to be able to say is: Cops always RIGHT, civilians must obey!
Here's another clue, sunshine: the cops are NOT supposed to be some paramilitary force. They are nothing more, nothing less than FELLOW CITIZENS entrusted with aiding the rest of the populace with enforcing the law. In fact, because they choose to wear the uniform, they are morally obligated to act in an exemplary manner towards their fellow citizens, to provide an example to our youth and to act in a manner beyond reproach.
While nobody can possibly be like that at all times is one thing. For the egregious and rampant abuse of citizens to be such a constant in the last two decades speaks volumes about where our society is going. That your ilk actually SUPPORT this kind of horrific behaviour is a stain on all civilization.
When one gets out of line, they should be fired, prosecuted to the fullest, and spend HARD time in prison. Even the suspicion of wrongdoing should cause relegation to either a foot beat or desk job until the suspicions are cleared. If an officer is dismissed for cause, there should be a nationwide ban on their ever wearing any uniform with more authority than a security guard at a food court, where they can pick up scofflaw's trays.
The public did not start the "US V THEM" game that the police have been playing, but since WE are the ones who pay the bills, guess who's got the short stick?
“Firstly, the request to extinguish a cigarette is not ILLEGITIMATE. A lit cigarette can cause injury and can be used as a dangerous weapon.”
FINALLY! Someone nailed the cigarette issue on this thread.
