Pandering to these people doesn't work. It's like 'affirming' a child having a tantrum. Note how her behaviour escalated whenever the cop starts accommodating her. First she has no physical problems, then she has some mental problems, then she's going on about her gender identity or lack thereof. When he plays along with that she immediately starts escalating to 'intergenerational trauma', PTSD, intersectional grievances.amd any other buzzword she can remember. Her behaviour degenerates to yelling and non-compliance.

One wonders how things would have gone down if the cop had taken an authoritative approach from the start, told her not to argue with him, that he wasn't interested in her life story. I suspect she would have acted more like a functional -albeit drunk- adult.

On the plus side, it's easier to try and pretend these people can get out of it through identity politics, considering how "people yelling sexual assault or rape to try and get the officer to let them go out of fear is a very common tactic used at police stops." Better to make them think the 'Get out of Consequences Free' card online can work.
