This is one of the more ridiculous that I have seen. Lady gets stopped, gets out of car to approach the police vehicle, doesn't follow officer's commands and "she's scared". So she picks up her phone and dials 911 instead of complying with the officer, while the officer patiently waits. Yet somehow the Officer did something wrong.

The woman was probably in the wrong, but we can't tell from this video.  If the officer really did threaten to arrest her just for a traffic offense then he was wrong.  However, even if the woman was wrong the police officers have to learn how to handle these type of situations better.  He should have waited for the other officer and avoided this big mess.

Citiens have a right to complain about police behavior.  Police have to understand this.  they have to let the complaint go through proper channels to be resolved.  They can't get upset over the request for an investigation.  In fact, if they have done nothing wrong then they should welcome the investigation to prove they were right.  the worst thing to do is arrest someone for trying to complain about their behavior.  That just makes them look guilty.  If this officer had done nothing wrong then why did he act this way when the woman tried to complain about his behavior?

This must be another one of those officers who insists that it is impossible for him to make a mistake that would lead to a wrongful arrest.  We all know that type don't we.
