she refused to sign the ticket, cussed out the cop and drove off. He chased her, when she stopped, he pulled her out of the car, she fought back, kicking and cussing again. He tased her to get her to stop fighting him.

She did all the wrong things and lived.
Enough POC do all the right things and die anyway.
