I don't care if she did argue. Words are no excuse for what happened to her.

NOTHING she did on video warranted this. Even mouthing off the cop doesn't warrant this.

Now if we don't cooperate with screening fully - will this happen? *rolls eyes*
Unless the words she used were "You guys are pi$$ing me off. I'm getting my gun out". Or "You keep poking around like that and I'm setting off the bomb". Likely this didn't happen, but until the audio is available, or witness accounts of her words are released, it is curious why the cop acted like he did.
