[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I am astounded that people can't admit that she should have kept her flippin' mouth shut.  Believe it or not, one can RESPECTFULLY stand up for his rights.  Hateful comebacks and outright refusal to comply with a normal request is not standing up for rights, it's just being aggressive to rebel.  I totally agree this cop is a creep.  He way overdid it - and however she died, it's a horrible, horrible and undeserved result.  I can admit he went overboard, but unfortunately when you push and test your limits with an a-hole, you're going to get sh*t on.[/quote]

I can admit she should have kept her mouth shut.
And that does not in any way excuse the actions of the cop.

The kid in MD. recently should not have stolen birthday cake.
and that does not in any way excuse the man who beat him to death.

With great power comes great responsibility.  Armed, trained officials need to manage THEIR emotions so that responses are proportional to the offense.  [/quote]

Are you really so naive to compare a grown woman to a child?   [/quote]
