Not sure what happened prior to the officer/s extracting the man from his car, but I'll say one thing. If you act like a disrespectful fool for a minor traffic stop, then you will get treated like a disrespectful fool. I myself have been stopped numerous times and this is how it usually goes...
I'm asked to pull over which I do. I roll down all my windows and shut off my vehicle. When the officer/s approach I nod my head and say "how are u officer". They usually respond with "I'm doing well. Do you know why I pulled you over?" I always respond "no officer". He or she will then proceed to tell me what traffic law I broke and ask me for my license/registration/insurance card which I hand over with no problems. They'll go back to their vehicle and come back within 5 minutes with either a ticket and explanation of it, or let me off with a warning. Off I go to live another day. Mind you I'm not a white male but instead a hispanic minority. Some people just go off on a tirade once pulled over despite the fact that they may have indeed been pulled over for a traffic law that they broke. I dont curse the cop out, try to flee, tell him to go F off, refuse to give him my name, etc....
What anti-cop movement are you talking about??????????????? Are people going around harming/killing cops???? Don't think so. The most people are doing is speaking out against police brutality.
Just because some people here seem to be obsessed with "bad cops" doesn't mean the general public is out to get your precious cops.
I think a cop should only use force when they're being attacked, really. If someone is running off at the mouth, you don't have to bash their head in. :\
Why not just write the man a parking ticket and move on? Why was it necessary to remove him from the car? Being rude to a cop is not a crime.
Neither you nor I know what happened before the guy was removed, because the video is edited to cut out what transpired beforehand. We are just guessing at this point . . .

Mhhm, I agree with your previous post. The woman was shouting "he can't breathe" meanwhile he was acting like a fool and refused to get in the car at the end. This is nothing like the Eric Garner incident, or any other incident where they used too much force.
The crowd gathering around the cops shouting at them didn't help either.
I'm tired of the cop bashing. Let's get back to cracking skulls with nightsticks! the end result will be the same, but the complainants will have valid complaints.
I don't really bash cops, but it makes me mad all the stuff they do to people. You turn on the news everyday and hear about a cop who raped a woman, assaulted/murdered somebody for racial reasons, violated a persons civil right, etc. This alone is enough to **** me off, but then I come to find out the grand jury refused to charge them! As the old saying goes: "A grand jury will indict a turkey sandwich ... but never a police officer."

maybe the cop ran the plate and there was an issue with the insurance....maybe the cop suspected the driver was under the influence....can we go on with the dozens of different possibilities. I think your response could be the crux of the issue....why do you feel the need to debate it? If a police officer asks you to do something, DO IT!!!! is it your contention the the officer walked up to the car, didnt say a word and just pulled the guy from the car? is that what you are really going ot assume?
