HE invited the guy out of his vehicle......BEFORE he did that he should have told the guy that he was under arrest and what would happen IF he didn’t comply exactly with his direction. INSTEAD he staged a scene that we got to view.

The driver started mouthing off just as soon as the trooper approached the drivers side window. The trooper had to ask for his drivers license and registration 3 times. The driver continued to run his mouth, challenging the location of the speed limit sign and asking the officer what was wrong with him. Then the driver refused to sign the ticket asking the officer what was wrong with him again.

The trooper told him to get out of the car. As they were walking back to the patrol car, the trooper told the driver, who was continuously mouthing off, to turn around and put his hands behind his back. The trooper repeated this command 4 more times, while the driver was running his mouth and walking back to his car.

Then the driver got to 'ride the taser'.

So, I'll tell you who staged the scene. That mouthy little punk.

And to answer your “question” IF the cop had done as I suggested there would have been no need to taze the guy. GET IT?

How bout if the punk had done as the trooper had suggested and SIMPLY SIGNED THE DAMN TICKET!!!

DO YOU GET IT!

If I had tased, clubbed, or maced every mouthy violator I pulled over during thirty years as a cop I would have spent a considerable amount of my time booking traffic violators, and writing reports explaining my use of force.
This trooper used virtually no people skills,(never mind his total lack of tactical skills) failed to explain what was happening, and what was going to happen if his requests were not complied with. Perhaps, had the trooper simply been polite and professional and used a little “verbal judo”, he could have gained compliance without physical force. Perhaps not. We will never know, because the trooper skipped a number of critical steps in the process. I dealt with many people just like this traffic violator. He was a blowhard, fool. It isn’t too hard to be smarter than a blowhard fool. If it is, then the trooper is in the wrong profession. He needs to get a different job.
