Yes, right along a busy highway with both of them facing away from approaching traffic. I'd like to ask again:
1. In your opinion, did the officer have only two reasonable options - tasing or a struggle - when the driver walked away?
2. Does tasing someone along a busy highway put his life at increased risk beyond walking along the highway in full control of his faculties?
“In your opinion, did the officer have only two reasonable options - tasing or a struggle - when the driver walked away?”
Yes.
“Does tasing someone along a busy highway put his life at increased risk beyond walking along the highway in full control of his faculties?”
Yes.
(Just to minimize branching off, I’ll give you this.)
There is no evidence the officer stated “you are under arrest”.

Did the officer have reason to believe that the driver was being uncooperative, and resisting arrest?
Is a law enforcement officer required by law to put the life and safety of someone resisting arrest above his own?
