Did he get back in the car and wait for furhter commands?
Did he reach for the cops gun?
Did he try to steal donuts from the dashboard?
Did he refuse to obey commands given by a police officer?
Did he resist when being arrested?

I don't even think enough of you to even chuckle in your general direction.

But, you've proven my point yet again..

I can't click the link from my phone.

But, he couldn't have been resisting arrest until he was told what he was being arrested for.

As for reaching for guns and anything else that happened off camera, all his word against theirs.

I have no problem with police, and if the guy had any form of weapon or been combative, then he should have been subdued.

But, he wanted to know why he was being detained, which he has a legal right to know.

Charged with disobeying a lawful order? Sure, that could stick. Resisting and deserving to be tased several times? Nope..

And the jury agrees.

So, what facts do you guys have to base the legality of his tasing on?

jurys also awarded a family $850k from the bat manuf. for their son being killed by a baseball.

No because my father COMPLIED! The officer then told him why he needed to stay in his car and my dad agreed. He also let him off with a warning.

The liink is to a legal site that outlines the fact that you have to comply with police's orders. The officer does not have to tell him why he is being detained until the detainee complies with his orders.

DESERVED !! After refusing to listen to the officer's repeated request and then being told if he didn't he was going to get tased and still not complying...ZAP.

He did sound like a little b!tch after being zapped though.

On a related note, it made me giggle when he screamed like a little girl. haha

Three minutes and 30 seconds of failure to obey the lawful orders of a police officer? In that officer's position and the way that guy was behaving, it wouldn't have been the Taser that I pulled.

He shouldn't have gotten off on the resisting charge.

I can't hear the vid since I'm at school but I always believe there is a reason to use a taser no matter the situation. Just as long as you can watch it on video.

He should have been tased for looking like a douche at least.

Undeserved. The man was not acting in an aggressive manner toward the police officer, yet the police officer was immediately aggressive and excited toward the man because he had exited his vehicle. The police officer immediately escalated the situation instead of defusing it using a militaristic, police state type attitude that everyone must immediately follow every order you scream no matter what.

This is another increasingly common example of a complete failure to deal with the general public using basic courtesy and common sense. The officer himself appeared to be very fearful without just cause. Hey, its a scary job...and if you can't deal with it calmly then go do something else.
