Just implying it's a tense dangerous situation.
There's a legit reason cops get overzealous when faced with defiance in those situations, because ones like the incident I posted happen. 

Totally get it.

I brought up bland earlier as an example of how sometimes officers can get a bit out of hand and rather than start a whole new thread continued the info here.

In the Bland case the defiance came because the officer wanted to know why she was "irritated" and then he got what seems to me on a power trip because she wouldn't put her cigarette out.  Everything after that was a direct result of the officer deciding that compliance was more important that cooperation.  And then he told a different story after the event.

But I will let it drop now.  As you said we've gotten way off topic.
