    Considering they removed the audio and the officer is calmly talking to her and even smiling at the end of the video when he moves on, I seriously doubt that he wanted to arrest her. The only reason I can think of for removing the audio is if it contradicts the captions.

      They’re arresting 94 year old grandmas I’m quite sure they wouldn’t hesitate to arrest this woman if they could.

        The cops in general are, but if you watch the video you can see that this one literally laughs when he walks away from her. Seems he also thought it was a clever idea.
