No.
He knew she was irritated. He initiated a
power struggle when he unnecessarily told
the irritated woman to put out her cigarette.
He added fuel to the fire when he got into
a loud pissing contest with her, demanding that
she exit the car. From her perspective the only
reason he ordered her out of the car was because
she refused to extinguish her cigarette. It sure
looked that way to me.
That the officer thought he could be jammed
with a lit cigarette is kind of a stretch IMO.
I have shown in the law, in the media and in pictures how a cigarette can most certainly be used as a dangerous weapon.
It doesn’t matter at all if you think it’s a stretch.
That’s why he told the irritated woman to extinguish it.
Police routinely tell people to extinguish cigarettes.
It’s a lawful order.
As soon as she disobeyed his order, she was subject to arrest, which she then resisted.
It’s really that simple.
