Anyone upset about a traffic ticket while holding a cigarette is a dangerous individual....Any time an officer has the authority to arrest someone they're in the right. We all witnessed this confrontation, the woman wasn't a threat. Trying to argue and reason otherwise is part of the reason we have this thread. He arrested her out of spite, but then again, he is a police officer, they can do that. Also I should add, a state of affairs where you feel comfortable telling a large group of adults that it is dangerous to hand a ticket to a person with a cigarette, for the officer involved, and they can arrest you if they feel threatened, knowing we all witnessed the exact encounter is very telling about the mentality police have toward the citizenry.
Tell me its probable that the officer was in danger, and I'll be convinced that the woman should have been arrested. Telling us "she was willing to die for her cause" is rediculous, without evidence she was an insurgent operative, not just some troubled woman who was looking for a better life.
