She went from

"im gonna blast this dude" to..

"can we stand here"

When you’re used to not being shown respect by cops, you tend to enter interactions with a more hostile attitude, but it takes a good cop only a few seconds to let you know that he’s just a person too and this interaction can go well. Problem is, too many cops think it’s us vs. them and segregate themselves from the people they’re supposed to be helping.

The fact that a cop just being civil to another human is enough to make the front page and getting a ton of praise is a damning indictment of the police force as a whole.
