...Incorrect. Watch the video again. The officer begins pulling out his taser at the same moment that he first orders the man to "turn around put your hands behind your back". Officer was ITCHING to taser the guy.
and he had good cause...the driver was reaching into his pocket. Maybe just putting his thumb into his pocket. Hard to tell.

Either way, the driver was in fault at this point.

"Either way, the driver was in fault at this point."

How was the driver at fault at that point?

The driver refused to sign the ticket. From what I understand, he is within his rights to do that.

The officer asked him to step out of the vehicle. He complied.

So far, so good. Driver has done nothing wrong at this point.

Now, once the guy is outside the vehicle, the officer immediately pulls out his taser gun! Look at the video. The officer begins pulling out the taser gun at the exact same moment that he begins speaking the words "turn around put your hands behind your back".

Since the guy had done nothing wrong up until that point, what right did the officer have to draw and point his weapon at him?
