“How you doin’?” said Davis. “You got an ID on you, ma’am?”

Cooper began to look for her identification as she politely replied with a soft voice, “Why am I giving my ID?”

The tone in Davis’ voice was audibly different as he replied, “Because I asked for it.”

“Because you asked for it,” echoed Cooper, prompting Davis to say, “yes ma’am.”

Cooper then stated that she no longer felt comfortable because she didn’t have a problem.

“OK, well, I’m asking for your ID, and if you don’t produce it, I’m gonna take you to jail,” said Davis. As Cooper asked her mother if she heard the conversation, Davis said he wasn’t going to ask her again. Cooper then tells her mother she wasn’t being told why Davis wanted to see her ID and referenced being arrested.

“These people could kill me, Mom,” said Cooper.

Davis told Cooper he would give her one more chance or “and then I’m gonna pull you out of the car.”

Cooper replied that he would not be pulling her out of the car as he reached over and opened her car door. She could be heard asking why he was being so aggressive.

“Sir! Please! Why are you being so aggressive?”

Davis pulled Cooper out of the car and tackled her to the ground as a tussle ensued.

“You’re not gonna fight me what are you doing?” asked Cooper as Davis appeared to be trying to hold her hands in place while yelling, “Stop! Stop!”
