That appears to be a textbook case of poor training in how to NOT escalate a situation.  Maybe the driver would have been defiant in any case, but she asks the officer why she is being requested to get out of the truck and instead of simply saying that your license is suspended so I can not let you proceed to drive, the officer just escalates with "because I am telling you to".  Likewise for any other officers that were present.  They need to be trained to intervene if one of their own is going down a path they know is wrong.  I'm not saying any of that is easy.  Particularly the "our side" Vs "their side" mentality, but it does seem doable.

You seem to miss something:
Do they want to be nice?
There are cops who love the power.  Who joined just for the ability to have this authority over others.  No amount of training is gonna fix that.
Sure, and those (I'd guess/hope relatively few folks) need to be weeded out.

Good luck with that.
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

Police in Columbus, Ohio shot a sleeping (black) man, who was asleep in his own bed, within one second of opening the bedroom door. At 2.30am.

It's reported that police in Columbus have shot and killed three citizens in the last eight days, and left others critically ill after being shot.

Tumeni, for the love of Bambi. Copy the link to the tweet and paste it here. It will display the tweet together with its source, so that people don't have to wonder whether you've made shit up every time you claim to have seen something.

Of course, in this case, you're talking about footage which was released by the authorities, illustrating that the checks and balances in place appear to be adequate. But it would be so refreshing if you provided this information yourself, rather than sending people on a wild goose chase with nothing but inflammatory and unsourced comments you farted out.

Nobody "wonders" that. Not even you.

If anyone apart from you does, just leave them to tell me.

I am unsure if you know what the word, "nobody," means.
To be honest I am getting pretty bored of this place.

Allow me to clarify. While you post here, you will follow basic netiquette. I explained what you need to do and why for your benefit. If you can't follow these simple steps, you will not post here.
