Their comfort is not safety. The original claim was that this had something to do with safety.

What "instructions" ? You have no standing to create instructions that others must follow. And if the cop hasn't gotten to the vehicle yet, then they haven't credibly given instructions (orders). So there are no relevant "instructions" here.
The reality is that the police officer is the party aggressing to create a confrontational situation. Therefore they are responsible for managing that situation. This includes not capriciously harming individuals who are acting reasonably but perhaps inconveniently for said officer. As I said, if they cannot handle their job of being public servants, then they have no business having a position of authority over the public in the first place.
