Why Does No One Ever Ask 'What's Wrong With Her?'..?

After ordering Laurent out of the car McNichol grabs her by the arm and twists it behind her back and pulls her to the ground, all the while she screams 'I'm pregnant'.
As McNichol pins Laurent to the ground, her partner Hardy can be heard saying: 'She's six months pregnant, what is wrong with him?!' to another officer.
I mean, isn't it racist to assume that black people will always act like screaming toddlers when faced with authority catching them doing something illegal?
Henry tells McNichol: 'She doesn't have to give you her license', while Laurent can be heard saying: 'If you arrest me now and put me on the ground and I am pregnant, you are going to get charged.' For the next two minutes, McNichol continues to tell the two they will be arrested for not cooperating. Henry can be heard telling the former officer: 'Don't touch her, she is pregnant.' McNichol tells Laurent: 'I'm going to lock you up', to which she replies 'I don't care.'

Why didn't she care? Well, Reader, she's not unfamiliar with arrest situations, it's fair to say: 

Boca Raton Police confirmed that Laurent was charged with resisting an officer and was issued a citation for not having a valid license. She had also been arrested for an active warrant out of Palm Beach County for failure to appear.
Hardy was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer.

And yet people are still defending her.

I'm sure the father was very concerned and it was nice of him in the car with her to also express concerns.
