If that was really over tinted windows , seems to me the whole thing was out of whack unless the ded guy came back with a dangerous history
Traffic citation , escalating to this ?
If I knew I hadn’t done anything , might have been a little hard for me to accommodate his ego too .
Police around here just ask god DL
and registration
Run it , write ticket or don’t write it

You know what there Hero, yes the cop had the duty to deescalate the situation WHEN WARRANTED!
The private citizen also had the duty TO FOLLOW LAWFUL ORDERS!
Perp got out of the truck and wouldn't follow orders! NOBODY GETS OUT OF A VEHICLE in a traffic stop unless ordered to do so by law enforcement! Probably the most common known thing out there!
Dude got out of his truck; what s the cop supposed to do Hero? Get back in his car and leave the traffic stop?
Ok, so he didn't leave and decided to use his AUTHORITY to regain control of the stop. He orders the perp to the back of his truck and to put his hand on the truck!
The perp wasn't having any of that!
So again Hero, the cop should have just gone back to his cruiser and left the scene?
NO. He has a situation now that instead of a simple traffic stop, it has escalated to having to put the guy in cuffs until he can investigate as to WHY the perp was not following LAWFUL ORDERS!
At this point the cop needed to subdue the perp, not only for his protection but anyone that may become involved!
What's in the truck that the guy didn't want the cop to witness?
Does the guy have a warrant out?
There are numerous things that could be going through the cops mind at this point.
But the number one concern for the officer is to get the guy out of traffic✅
Then to get him to comply with commands✅
This could have been avoided ONCE AGAIN Hero, if only the perp WOULD HAVE FOLLOWED ORDERS!
So GFY with saying you wouldn't "accommodate" his "ego" either.
This all clearly happened AS the stop was being made! No prior back and forth from the perp or the cop.
GOOD FUÇKING SHOOT!!!!
