Why isn't she to bear responsibility for participating in the escalation?
Because she did nothing wrong. And you still have not answered it. The only reason why there was a "lawful order" was because his manliness was bruised. The escalation was entirely on him. She had every right to refuse to put out the cigarette and to be annoyed with the situation.
'I've spoken of the Shining City all my political life. …In my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.'" Ronald Reagan

Really? That must be some small **** when somebody's refusal to put out a cigarette hurts your manliness. And you know what? Even if his **** was that small, his request was pleasant.
Being annoyed didn't give her the right to not obey lawful orders.
I did. The fact that I agree that he performed miserably doesn't seem to be registering with you.
Because time after time you excuse it.

You know...she was arrested on a Friday and Judges don't work weekends. Which probably answers comics original question of why she spent 3 days in jail.
Also, if you're unstable enough that you kill yourself in jail after being there for 3 days then something is wrong. News is reporting she had depression, PTSD and tried to commit suicide once before.
This is an excuse. She did nothing wrong until he ordered her out of the car. Which he did solely because he was a prick. He is totally and completely to blame.

I think the arrest was a bit overblown but she did act very sh!tty to the cop which set off the whole incident.
The incident was set off when he tried to goad her into a fight. What, she is supposed to be happy about getting a ticket? Keep in mind the reason for her lane change was because he was riding her ****. This whole mess was one of his creation.

Yes it is. There is no reason to ask the question especially when he knows the answer and then the "Are you done now?" further escalates the situation. He could have just handed her the ticket and said be on your way. If you admit he is baiting her, why are we even talking about this? It is completely on him.
Tell me what is wrong with this sentence, other than she failed to genuflect to his awesomeness.
Bland: I'm waiting on you. This is your job. I'm waiting on you. When're you going to let me go?
He asked if she was okay and she answered. She did not call him a name, she simply wanted her ticket and to be on her way. A perfectly reasonable response.

Unless you spit in his first. Sometimes it takes one, sometimes it takes two. The transcript showed this was two.
You can tell me all day long that it was his job not to rise to it, and that's fine, but there's no way the transcript indicates she was sitting there just eating her cereal. No freaking way.
Actually you and I must be reading different transcripts. Jesus even Donald Trump agrees with me.

He took the bait and gave it back. How do you know there was no reason to ask if she were OK? She could have been scratching her face, pulling her hair, gouging at her wrists or doing G-d knows what. The woman apparently just committed suicide, after all.
What bait? She was just sitting there waiting for him to hand her the ticket.
Okay you tell me why he was asking her if she was okay and even then her answer was perfectly reasonable. She did not call him a name, she didn't even argue about the ticket, she wanted him to finish his job and let her go. But apparently she is not allowed to express herself in your opinion.

We just came to it. I think asking "You OK?" is fine. You think it's baiting.
And her answer was fine.
I mean it wasn't yassa massa, eyes be okay with yo ticket and eyes completely in the wrong. But there was nothing wrong with her answer.

Her answer wasn't fine. If you talked to your dad like that, he would have slapped you in the mouth.
And fwiw, he didn't swear at her or call her a name - if this is now the acceptable level of discourse. Maybe she was excessively irritated. She killed herself.
Not if we are both adults, he would not. I guess your problem is that she was assuming they were both equals. He is not her Daddy. And she did not swear at him or call him a name. She requested that he give her the ticket so she could move on with her day.

It was not contempt. She told him honestly how she felt and that she wanted him to let her go as quickly as possible. She did not raise her voice, she did not call him any names, she just wanted it to be over and for him to hurry up. There is no contempt. And pissed in not a reason for asking her to exit the vehicle. You still have not provided that answer other than some lame excuse that he feared for his safety. Please.

What I want to know is are we just questioning her arrest or her death? Did she hang herself or ???
Also, if you're unstable enough that you kill yourself in jail after being there for 3 days then something is wrong. News is reporting she had depression, PTSD and tried to commit suicide once before.

This is the part you fail to comprehend...I'm assuming on purpose.
I don't excuse it, but she bears blame as well. Two people can both have contributed to their cars colliding.
Her arrest.
I don't think being agitated and pizzed about the ticket should lead to being arrested. He baited her..

There should be no bait to take.
An adult freaking deals with it.
Here's where it all goes bad:
Encinia: OK, ma'am. (Pause.) You OK?
Bland: I'm waiting on you. This is your job. I'm waiting on you. When're you going to let me go?
Asking someone if they're OK is baiting them? Who talks like this to a cop? If anything, Encinia took the bait.
Tell me what is wrong with this sentence, other than she failed to genuflect to his awesomeness.

Equals treat equals with respect. Contempt of cop may not be a crime, but contempt of cop isn't behavior we should applaud either.
If this thread makes it to day 3 we should all hang ourselves.
