“Multiple posters have stated they did not hear what you claim was said by the trooper. AFAIK, you are the only one who is making such a claim.”
My mistake. I did not hear the officer make that statement after he got the driver out of the vehicle.
Now, is it your belief that when an officer tells you “turn around and put your hands behind your back” that they must:
Be actually arresting you for a felony and reading you your Miranda rights?
They must make the statement “You are under arrest”, or you can ignore them and walk away?
That the officer has no right to place you in handcuffs unless he is arresting you, describes the charges to you, and follows your orders?

My answer would be "no" to each of the above, but I only have a layman's understanding of the subject.
Do you agree that by tasing the guy along a busy highway, the trooper put the guy's life at risk?
