I'm not going to comment on whether the cop was right or wrong, because without walking in his dangerous shoes everyday, it's hard for me to make a judgement. But I have walked in the driver's shoes and I chose not to act like a dickhead. And I didn't get tasered. Funny how that works.

The cop is the professional, and relying upon the "I can't judge until I walk in his moccasins" mantra doesn't work for me.
The cop's training is and should be to de-escalate a rather simple matter. The tasering should be the last resort not his quasi-first resort. In the hands of a good attorney, the citizen will be compensated and the cop stands to lose his job.
He should have simply explained the consequences of not signing. The cop was trigger happy.
