[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 281300, member: 1514"] See...here is where I have the biggest problem. I think he was having a bad day. Cops are trained to de-escalate situations. I know she was out of line. I dont for one minute condone her behavior. If she acted like a rational person none of this would have happened. She should have just done what people are told to do which is put your hands on the wheel and stay still and say yes sir and no sir. Problem is this cop could have talked her down if he had tried. She wasnt a threat to society. If he had started having a friendly conversation with her about her grandkids or something I am sure things would have turned out much different. I havent been pulled often...never with me driving but Tony gets stopped often because he works at night or in some iffy places and drives a construction van. He is very good at getting pulled. It never fails that when the cop notices his sheriff dept hat or his marine shirt, they actually look him in the face and the atmosphere seems to lighten up. [/QUOTE]
