First off, if the cops let everyone go that resists them, then the standard would be to resist regardless of the charge. Once she drove off it became a lot more than a simple traffic ticket. Had he not pulled her out of the car she could have simply closed the door and took off again potentially running into someone or another vehicle. Waiting to negotiate with her and her son at a later date is simply ridiculous and a waste of time. What if you show up to her house to arrest her and now she has a gun?

Graham vs Conner is good case law to read up on if you are confused about use of force. It also touches on reasonable standard which ignorant people that want to live in a lawless country are attempting to take away. You have to be a fucking troll if you excuse this lady’s wrongdoing just because she is a lady. Also defunding the police is the wrong thing to do in a country full of addicts and wealth inequality. Sure putting someone who is crazy on meds and talking to them works for a few days, until they go off their meds.
