I didn't realise the US was an authoritarian regime.

Yeah, well I don't know where you live, but go ahead and try acting like Bland did with one of your cops and see what happens. Try out little compliments like asshole and mother fucking pussy on them, let me know how that works out for you.

I'd have trouble complying with your instructions here, because I'm damned sure one of our 'cops' would never threaten to drag me out of my car during a stop for a traffic violation.

As for the compliments, they happened precisely because he was acting like an asshole.

That you think his behaviour was warranted, and that he actually had a 'responsibility' to use force is sickening.

You said that she behaved irrationally. Please tell us what she did or said that was irrational.
