Whatever the niceties of traffic stop procedure, the cop appeared to me to be a belligerent bully rather than a polite public servant. This type of officer gives the others a bad name. When I watched the video, I was shocked that the officer was so aggressive. I was raised to respect and help police, but this guy raised my hackles.
I’ll agree that it’s a safer bet to argue wether the cop was courteous, or even patient, vs. wether the taser was the tool of choice for this situation.
The p*g can’t punch you, but he can tase you? I don’t get it.
