He impolitely decided that she was being rude because she wouldn't put out a cigarette she smoking on her private property. You know, most folks...even most anti smoking nazis....would have had her sign the ticket and muttered "azzhole" as they walked back to the squad car. But "failure to comply" gave him the right to impolitely grab her to pull her out of the car. I also recall reading in eolsens post that a lit cigarette "might be" used as a "weapon"...and blowing smoke at someone is "assault". There's no limit to the offenses you can make up to justify assholish behaviour by a law enforcement officer.

Okay, ma’am. You okay?
[Sandra Bland:]
I’m waiting on you – you – this is your job. I’m waiting on you, what is you want…
[Brian Encinia:]
Oh, you seem very irritated.
[Sandra Bland:]
I am. I really am but I feel like it’s [crap] for what I’m getting the ticket for. I was getting out of your way for speeding up. Tailing me… so I move over… and you stopped me. So yeah… I am a little irritated but that doesn’t stop you from giving me a ticket. So, what’s the ticket [for]?
