Oh bullcrap now you are trying to read the cops mind and play amateur lawyer.
There is no indication, statement, or evidence to show that the cop was being threatened or felt threatened by a cigarette.
Nice try though.
“”For example, a lighted cigarette can be a dangerous weapon if it is used to burn someone;”
Here, once again for the dense.
I never said he was being threatened or felt threatened, did I?
I said a cigarette can be used as a weapon, which is why he told her to extinguish it.
Police will often order people to extinguish cigarettes when they are in close proximity and/ or about to place the person under arrest.
Why should a police officer allow an angry person and/ or an angry person that they are about to arrest stand in close proximity to them with a burning object that is quite capable of causing injury?
Never mind. Don’t bother answering. you don’t get it, because you don’t want to get it.
But it doesn’t matter, it was a lawful order, she disobeyed, therefore she escalated, and now she’s dead, and nothing’s going to be done about, and nothing should be done about it.
Bye.
