I'm kinda take back by how man people are against the LEO. They have 2 seconds to make a decision and yall have the rest of yalls life's to tear it apart. I mean come on. This LEO doesn't know any thing about the back story of this guy. All he know is that he's being confrontational and difficult.

This was not a physically confrontational situation until the officer made it so. The Citizens mistake was that the citizen had the nerve to question the officer, and that he wasn't moving fast enough.
I too have been stopped more times than I care to admit, but I also have to admit that at any stop I have been the officer was polite refered to me as sir even when I was a teen. and has been patient when its taken me up to a few minutes to find the correctly dated insurance. The cop is the one who is supposed to be a professional, He is expected to be held to a lot higher standard than the one pulled over.

The LEO just didn't act proffessionally he slams the door, into the guy and tazes him all because he didn't work fast enough. Sometimes it can take me a few seconds to get to my wallet, sometimes it can tan a few more to dig it out of the glove box. He didn't taze the guy in self defence. He tazed him because he was losing patience. The folks who are going to lose it in the long run over this are the LEOs everywhere. Legislatures in every state over the next couple of years are going to be concidering restricting how and when Tazers are to be used. I don't think any officer or department will be looking forward to that. Any one want to take me up on a bet that this guy will be testifying before the Texas State Lege. in 98?

Its a shame that this thread falls into name calling. I think its done intentionally to get the threads closed and close any open discussion. I've been called a cop hater too.
