Well, like I said, cops are more likely to get shot on a routine traffic stop then on a drug bust. It's the single most dangerous thing they do, because they never know who they're pulling over, and they're all alone. The criminals know this and figure, one shot, and I'm free again....
As far as extracting her from the vehicle, what if she had a knife and plunged it into him when he reached in to take her out? Is it your contention that the police officer must place themselves at risk of harm in order to spare a resisting arestee some discomfort?
Look, I'm no fan of a police state, and I'm a big believer in civil liberties. But you guys need to find a better cross to nail our cops to than this case. I find your poster child to be rather unsympathetic, in my eyes.
