She explained in an annoyed tone why she was upset. She did not shout.

Sounded like shouting to me. Both were shouting but the police officer was mostly issuing orders, Sandra was half asking questions, half throwing out insults and foul language.

Even if she shouted at him, it doesn't justify him threatening her if violence, asking her to unlawfully get her out of the car. Not saying why she's being arrested, and slamming her head onto the ground. Then the Police department editing the dashcam video for an unknown reason.

When talking about threatening violence, I imagine you mean the taser. I agree, it seemed excessive. I've heard from a lawyer named Peter Schulte that a taser is used for active resistance, not passive resistance. What makes for active and passive resistance I don't know. I have no legal expertise. I go off of people who study law and they disagree on a number of aspects but all pretty much agree that you should get legal expertise and take a dispute to court, not out in the street.

Seriously, how are you defending this?

Both sides played their role in escalating the situation but some portions of the public focus solely on what the police officer did and seem to ignore what Sandra had done.

Sounded like shouting to you? You heard her shouting then he slammed her head into the ground. That's shouting.

She escalated the situation expressing why she was annoyed? He could've simply given her a ticket for this mild traffic offence and been on his day. He's the one threatening her. He's the one dragging her out of the car. He's the one with his tazer out and he's the one smashing her head into the ground.
