[quote=Anonymous]The cop was out of line and he escalated the situation.  Cops are taught to de-escalate situations and he obviously did not follow his training.  He does not have the right temperament for this job.

However, I don't think this was a "racial" incident.  From the video,  I couldn't tell that the driver of the car was black.  After officer pulled woman over, she was upset and "pissy."  Cop asked her why she was upset - which was his first mistake.  She explained that she was upset she was getting a ticket for such a minor infraction when she was only trying to quickly change lanes to get out of his way (as we are all instructed to do - get out of way of emergency vehicles.) Cop didn't like her answer or whatever and then he escalated it by asking her to put out her cigarette. He was clearly pissed that the woman was talking and talking and not complying with his requests.  He lost his temper big time.  He was wrong for being so bossy.  He should have written the ticket or given her a warning and moved on.  She was wrong too for being a bit disrespectful even though she was in the right - he had no reason to make her put out cigarette, exit vehicle, or arrest her.

However, there is no proof whatsoever that this woman was murdered in jail.

The arresting officer could not have predicted that she would die in jail.  So we can't pin that on him. [/quote]
