I'm not sure if he wasn't a danger to the officer. He was belligerent before he stopped out of the vehicle, and taking an aggressive stance outside the vehicle, or even just not putting your hands where they aren't going to cause problems (ie, near your waist, or another part of the body where you could be hiding a weapon) justifies a tase. If the officer legitimately believes that the suspect is trying to set himself up to act aggressively, I think the tase is a good option. Furthermore, it didn't have any lasting effects! The suspect was still on the ground back talking. At least his actions were more cooperative than previously. He stopped moving when the officer told him to, whereas before, he wouldn't even show the officer that he wasn't a threat. I think the officer did a good job in de-escalating the situation because no one was seriously hurt, and everyone's safety was maintained.

With the exception of them being maybe a little too closer to traffic as someone said earlier.
