Uncooperative: The officer might have a case, but Massey did follow instructions between being ordered out of the vehicle and when the taser was pulled.
Resisting arrest: No.
Is a law enforcement officer required by law to put the life and safety of someone resisting arrest above his own?
No.
There is no evidence the officer stated "you are under arrest".
What about your claim that the driver said, "No, you're not", when other posters have very clearly stated that they heard "No, I'm not".
It's relevant to your question of Massey's cooperation.
“What about your claim that the driver said, “No, you’re not”, when other posters have very clearly stated that they heard “No, I’m not”.
I already stated that you and others were right about that.
I believe it was in response to “you’re going to sign this ticket”, and Massey said, “No, I’m not”.
He then followed up with “I’ll tell you what we’re gonna do. We’re gonna go back and ...” (excuse any paraphrasing).
It is one thing to say, “No, I’m not going to sign the ticket.”
It is another when you start giving orders to the police officer.
You suggest that Massey (who, I guess, has never seen TV or MOVIES) did not understand what “Turn around and put your hands behind your back” means.
I suppose the officer, had he said, “you are under arrest”, might have had to get out a dictionary so that Massey could look up the word, arrest.
If the officer had said the ‘arrest’ phrase, if Massey still ignored him, or continued to argue, would the officer have been ‘right’ in tasering him at that point?
