We need more police officers like this guy. Even in the face of an idiot, he kept his cool. He realized his life was not in any immediate danger and there was no need to pepper spray, taser her, or shoot her. I suspect a lot of police officers would have used excessive force with this idiot driver. That's the problem: Many cops not having the ability to differentiate between situations that are truly dangerous, as opposed to ones that aren't. Now, of course any situation can turn to shit. I get that. But a 17 year old female driver is most likely not carrying around an AK-47 in her trunk. The cop should still be on guard and vigilant, but that doesnt mean cracking skulls either, until it warrants it.
Kudos to this cop. He probably had a good laugh about it.
