I would be surprised if this guy has been in trouble before. I think he was being rightously mouthy but the look on his face when he saw the tazor and started backing away seemed shocked (no pun intended) like what’s wrong with this guy. I doubt he had any idea he was going to be arrested.
That’s how it seemed to me. I think he is typical of his generation, heck I teach kids, and I can tell you, the current crop thinks that anyone in *authority* has to explain why they want them to do anything before they do it. That’s what I see in this guy.
If he had been in trouble with the law before he would have known that he was only making the situation worse. I would have complied, but then again, I’m of a generation whose default position is respect for authority.
I also suspect that once he realized he was going to get arrested, he was concerned about leaving his wife and child. Any man worth is salt would be.
