This is a bad cop, and should be in jail.

And I’d gladly contribute to pay for his lawyer. We need more cops like him to deal with scumbag jerks like this driver. All the driver had to do, as anyone with a license should know, was sign the darn ticket and be on his way.
Instead he refused to follow instructions and started walking away. Why should the officer have to even wrinkle his shirt when taking jerks into custody? The jerk deserved it. Good for the officer.

"We need more cops like him to deal with scumbag jerks like this driver. "

Scumbag jerks like this fellow American citizen? Scumbag jerks with their wife and baby in the car to hear him scream in pain when an officer of the law hits him with a powerful jolt of electricity? Scumbag jerks that believe that they have the right to know why they have been stopped and the right to know why they are being apprehended?

Since when did we become a state governed by people with badges and uniforms? Sounds like something from nazi Germany, for gosh sakes!

This driver was NOT a scumbag jerk. This driver was convinced he had done nothing wrong. AND this cop failed to explain what the driver had done wrong. This cop was wrong from the start.

The cops work FOR us. WE don’t work for them.

“Good for the officer.”

The cop was likely technically justified in his actions, however, I think we can pretty much all agree (except maybe for you) that the cops actions stop well short of praiseworthy.
