The alternative? Roll down her window and avoid all of that nonsense.

What a civilian can do to avoid a bad situation with an officer is a valid conversation, but it shouldn't be used to excuse shoddy police work at the same time.

What was shoddy? She needed to get out the car. She was non compliant at that point. He was calm until she tried rolling the window back up on his fingers. The lengths some of yall will go to always criticize cops is comical.

I agree.

However, as I've gotten older, I've realized that 1) Bad and unfair situations arise 2) I can only control my own actions.

If an officer asks me to do something, I may be well within my rights to decline. However, my exercising of my rights is going to cause more headaches than if I had just complied with his request.

It may not be fair, he may not be justified in taking action against me, but it's the situation that life has presented to me, and I'm willing to accept that and make choices for myself that keep me out of trouble and avoid confrontation with law enforcement, even if I'm well within my rights to do otherwise.
