She was nearly doubling the speed limit while completely drugged out, and drove away when he asked her to step out of the car for a sobriety test. He instinctively reached in to protect other drivers from this woman by trying to grab the keys from the ignition, but was too slow to the draw. The officer identified a threat to public safety and reacted appropriately. The woman would've sped away regardless of whether or not he reached into the car.

and my comments are obtuse?

Second, the stuff you have mentioned regarding her record, im even more surprised that the officer did what he did when im sure he sees most of that on his system. I mean trying to reason/force with someone whos brain is not functioning? Ill say it again. Should have called backup. Maybe have a cruiser block her way and not try and reach inside someones car. As we can see what happens when you do so, specially with someone out of there mind. at the end of the day im not criticizing but I can be right about one thing, some people in an authorotative position think they can handle things themselves, i feel bad that his daughter had to see him get hurt, that shoulder will never remain the same.

last comment is in regards to people not making dumb decisions like her and drinking driving/etc... and realizing whats important in life.

best to always ask before coming to a conclusion.

we are quite lucky to live in North America, lets keep it civilized. There are many places out there that wished they had proper rules/regulations.

but if it makes you feel better, you win sir!!
