He told the other officer he warned the guy he was going to tazer him. He didn’t. Either a lie or he was too excited to remember. Either a bad cop who knew he’d messed up or a cop without enough training or the right temperament to be one.

He told the other officer he warned the guy he was going to tazer him. He pointed a tazer at the guy and ordered him to stop and put his hands on the car. That's a warning.
It's not like he was just letting the guy stand there and then without giving any orders just draws and fires the tazer. Sorry, but that guy had plenty of warning and was being belligerent. The cop didn't do anything wrong.

"Either a bad cop who knew he’d messed up or a cop without enough training or the right temperament to be one." Exactly. He should have called for back-up the second the driver became uncooperative. Tazing a man standing next to a busy freeway is just plane stupid.
