Here is the longer video of the cop and his interactions with this "model parent". You can see how she is being stubborn from the beginning and debating with him on everything he says.

He issued her a ticket for going 71mph in a 55mph zone. He was nice, but firm, as cops are) and he did NOT give her a ticket for having an expired license! He gave her a break on that and she wanted to continue to debate with her over signing the ticket and whether to pay it or go to court over it.
After a few minutes of this, after explaining her 3 options over and OVER, he told her he was not going to stand on the side of the road and continue the debate. If she refused to sign the ticket, she would have to be arrested (it's like that in my state as well, standard procedure). He told her that MORE than once, explaining it to her and giving her a chance to make her choice. She blah blah blahs, that she has never been in trouble before (Umm yeah, that a lie as we know she has prior arrests for driving while intoxicated. So she is no naive innocent woman with no clue of how being pulled over goes.)
She kept it up and he finally told her to turn off the vehicle while he returned to his car. As he turn to go back to his car, she took off. How freakin stupid is that? She should have just taken her ticket and gone on her way, and gone to court if it was unfair, like everyone else.
He pursues her an about a mile or so later, she pulls over again. He tells her to get out and she refuses. He reaches in to turn off the car and pull her out and she struggles with him. She refuses to get out of the car, is fighting him and one of her sons gets out the car so the cop lets go of her and turn attention to the son and orders him back in the car and he gets back in. (That's the FIRST time he gets out and he does it again later) .
Cop then continues to tell her to get out of the car and she refuses and the conversation goes on for another 5 minutes.
Finally cop has enough and tells her to turn around and then she resists and goes to get back in the van. The cop grabs her arm. One of her younger kids ( age 8,9 10?) gets out the driver side and tries to get in the middle, in the middle of the street which is dangerous, while the son gets out again and so does a teenage daughter (from the passenger side).
The cop lets go of her because a young child in in the middle of it so she takes the chance to get back in the car while the cop turns his attention to the menacing son who has put his hands on the cop,getting physical with the cop. from. So the cop pulls the tazer and orders the son to the ground.
Meanwhile the van has all the doors open, including BOTH sliding doors and people are popping heads and bodies in and out and the cop is in a dangerous situation, no knowing where the next attack will come from.
The son refuses to get on the ground. The mom and kids are screaming and the son refuses to obey the order and dashes back into the van. The family shuts all the doors, locks them and the cop orders the son out and he refuses.
At that point, the backup units pull up. There are now 3 cops surrounding the van. They are ordered to open the door and refuse. So the cop pulls the baton out and swings at the window. Then the van pulls off again. The cop who had just pulled up is behind the van and he is the one who shoots at the
tires of the fleeing van.
Then it is a 5 minute chase, going about 100 mph (the speed is on the dash cam) and she hops into a one way lane (going the wrong way) to cut into an intersection, in front of other cars (at a red light), without stopping and turns. She then continues at a high rate of speed, passing cars in front of her by passing them on the left in the turning lane and flies thru another intersection.
The pursuit continues (now 18 minutes into the video!) and they pull up in front of a hotel and are ordered out and gunpoint and finally comply.
My final judgement after carefully watching, rewinding and watching bits in slow motion? This mother is an idiot who endangered her kids, traumatized them and is NO "model parent" !! Oh and she home schools her kids too? Yes she does apparently. Well what a lesson mom has given them today on how NOT to behave.
I am now more firmly in support of the officers. I have family in LE and people like these are a nightmare to deal with. People could have died because of this foolish woman and her actions.
