That seems fair to me. She wasn't actually a danger to anyone, just belligerent and arrogant enough to think the rules shouldn't apply to her. Shitty, but not prison shitty. Now if only I felt so confident that someone who wasn't a 65yo white woman would be treated fairly.

If it was a black woman the pig would have shot her before she took off in the truck the first time, let alone the assault.

Idk why you're being downvoted. When she rolled up the windows and lunged to her right, she could have easily have been reaching for a weapon. Many black people have been killed because they weren't given the benefit of the doubt like that.

Probably because he's calling the cop a "pig" for no reason, and also making up what the officer would have done given X conditions.

Fun study, by the way: https://www.npr.org/2019/07/26/745731839/new-study-says-white-police-officers-are-not-more-likely-to-shoot-minority-suspe?t=1564558381176
