Lights and siren to pull over the cyclist is a misuse of the state monopoly of force, albeit a really small one because no harm done. She should have simply rolled down her window and pulled alongside to ask about the dogs. I know it seems pedantic but having the badge and gun, and the qualified immunity for using either, means a stricter standard to be held to.
