[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again,  the best you can come up with is to insist someone must white... as if that would advance your argument somehow.

The driver's behavior was a textbook example of how to turn what should have been a total non-event into a real confrontation.

He argued, insisted he didn't have to get out of the car, and then resisted the officers when he did.

You want us to believe he was too dumb and scared to understand what he was being told to do,  but he was arguing and resisting. [/quote]

You will see.  The officers did virtually everything textbook wrong.  They made a traffic stop, they did not confirm that the reason that they stopped the vehicle, was clearly and evidently wrong (missing license plate which they admitted was clearly visible once under the lights).  At every turn they escalated the situation instead of deescalated the situation.  They made absolutely no effort to communicate with the person, other than to bark orders that were contraindicated by the situation.  The driver was not violent, the driver was asking for information for why he was stopped.  At any point they could have communicated with the him.  The only thing they did correct was order him to put his hands out window.  Once he complied, they had no reason to continue to escalate the situation.  And despite your assertions that they barked commands at him, he gave a clear reason why he was not pulling his hand inside and rather than talk to him they just continued to bark the one order to exit the vehicle.  At the point where they maced him, there was no justification for it.[/quote]
