No, I dont think its her fault.  But Sandra had an opportunity to be the better person. [b] And like it or not, she did break the law.[/b]  She also killed herself, until it is scientifically proven otherwise.  Did the cop handle it well, heck no. But being an egomanical cop doesn't mean her killed her either.

Not sure how you stretched to an innocent female getting raped...[/quote]

Yes, she changed lanes without putting on the turn signal. How often have you done that? When you do that, do you think to yourself, "I am breaking the law!" How about driving faster than the speed limit? Do you think "I am breaking the law!" when you drive faster than the speed limit?[/quote]

Absolutely, I definitely think to myself, "I hope there are no cops around" when I exceed the speed limit, roll through a stop sign, fail to use a signal (which I actually never forget to do, huge pet peeve of mine), etc. [/quote]

OK, next -- if there were a police officer around when you exceeded the speed limit/rolled through a stop sign/didn't put your turn signal on, and the police officer pulled you over, and you were having a bad day and therefore responded with some attitude, would you think it was reasonable for the police officer to respond to your attitude by pulling you out of your car and threatening you with a Taser, given that, after all, you had broken the law by exceeding the speed limit/rolling through a stop sign/not putting your turn signal on?[/quote]

If I was pulled over and started acting agitated/nervous and refused a simple request to put out a cigarette (knowing that most non-smokers are bothered by smoke blowing in their face), I would not be surprised if the officer asked me to get out of the car. We can't see exactly what she was doing or how she was acting in the car, but I don't think it's unreasonable for the cop to request that she get out of the car if began suspecting that something else might be going on (hiding drugs, etc.). And when I refused and got extremely belligerent and combative, I would not expect him to just say, "okay, never mind, be on your way then." [/quote]
