[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know how to say this without sounding like a real c*nt, but I'm saying it anyway.  When he asked her to put out the cigarette, why was she so pissy and disrespectful?  Did I miss part of the video, was he hateful to her first.  We all know most cops are arrogant assholes.  But we don't have to be belligerent back.  Just do what they say and no one gets hurt.[/quote]

So it's okay for the police to attack you for smoking in your car.  Wow. WTF has happened to people in this country?[/quote]

It's always the initial action that the defenders revert back to.  NO, it's not ok to be attacked for smoking in your car.  NO, it's not ok to be killed for stealing a bag of chips.  But, she wasn't attacked for smoking in her car.  She reacted in such a hostile way, she escalated everything.  Do you actually excuse (and endorse) the blatant disrespect and anti-authoritarian stance she took?  [/quote]

He is a trained police officer.  No matter how much of an ass the citizen is, he should be capable of restraint.

If my kid is an ass to his teacher, I don't expect the teacher to beat him, no matter how much my kid is "asking for it".  Trained professionals are expected to maintain a higher standard.

He should have written her a ticket for the failure to signal and sent her on her way.

By your logic, anything the cop asks you to do during a traffic stop, you should just do, because it's not worth getting killed over.

Cops are not God.  We have a right and even a responsibility to stand up for our rights.  We should not have to cower before policemen because if we don't,they might kill us.

It's not illegal to be hostile or a jerk or disrespectful.  I agree, it's not wise and I don't endorse it.  But average citizens should not end up dead for being jerks.

Cops should be better than that.

Frankly I can't believe people are actually excusing, and endorsing, a citizen ending up dead because she was (you say) nasty to a cop.  [/quote]

The thing is, whether or not she should have been arrested, she was arrested and brought to jail.  She wasn't killed for anything she did or didn't do at the traffic stop.  She died 3 days later, either at her own hand or someone else's.

I get that she wouldn't have died in a jail cell if she hadn't been arrested.  But most people who are arrested, and go to jail, pay bond and leave the jail cell.  She died [i]in the jail cell[/i], not getting arrested.[/quote]
