Related: About this forumOfficer tackles Ohio woman for not coming to a complete stop
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/03/13/officer-tackles-ohio-woman-for-not-coming-to-a-complete-stop/Becker can be heard denying that she ran the stop sign and using an expletive towards the officer before he asks her to get out of the car. Only seconds later, Keene throws the woman to the ground and handcuffs her, while her four-year-old daughter screams in the background.
The video seemed to contradict portions of a police report (PDF) filed by Keene later that day.
The subject had to be forcibly removed from the vehicle, due to her failure to comply with lawful orders of law enforcement, he wrote. Upon doing so the female pushed the arresting officer and was at that point taken to the ground in a manner to better control her for the safety of both her and I.
After reviewing the video, Hamilton County Assistant Prosecutor Julie Wilson told WCPO that the charges against Becker had to be dropped.

FYI
Never get out of the car on your own after being pulled over - it can get you killed
Women walked out of car with cell phone in her hand =cop said thought it was a gun and shot her
Never come out of a car on a pull over
stay in your vehicle
This was bad but at least the hot head didnt shoot- dont give them a reason to shoot
