She lost her life, he lost his job. Seems legit.
Fired? NOW this is a tragedy.
Just a gun slinging bully who somehow got a badge he NEVER should have been entrusted with. One of the worst moments was when he tricked and bullied her into extinguish her cigarette, deliberately misleading her into believing he had the right to require such. Such an abuse under color of law!
Found it on YouTube: “Do you mind putting out your cigarette, please?” Syntactically just a polite question, but the intent is to deceive the driver into believing it is a lawful instruction and she has already done something very wrong. Routine goon squad tactic, gauged to exacerbate the situation, and humiliate/antagonize a law-abiding motorist. While sinisterly maintaining his angle to later falsely claim it was just an innocent question.
