Now, we're seeing that LEOs are getting more and more trigger happy with them, resulting in a recent uptick in taser-related deaths.

The civilian refused a direct order from a police officer toturn around and stop. What was the cop supposed to do? Let him drive away?

No, he turned around. The cop gave confusing directions and failed to handle the situation properly.

Can’t have us lowly citizens expecting professional conduct from our civil servants though.

It’s the “I-can-ignore-cops-with-impunity-because-I-heard-as-much-on-FR-rule.” Its corollary is “I-can-mouth-off-as-much-as-I-want-because-you-are-just-a-revenue-agent-rule.”
