He made no threatening gesture to the officer. The officer was frustrated and pissed that the guy wouldn't bow to his supreme and ultimate power so he continued to scream and repeat the exact same thing over again increasing the suspect's level of agitation as well until he found it necessary to Taze him. I'm aware that officers do not want to get into an argument with an unsubed suspect, however you can't blame Joe. Q. Public for wanting an explanation of what they've done wrong to warrant being arrested before submitting. Barking "TURN AROUND" 80 times does not satisfy that. Again, common courtesy, common sense, respect.

Again, its just another example of a cop that can't and shouldn't be allowed to deal with the general public. We are not their subjects and they are not our kings. Yes, you have to comply with police officers during a traffic stop by law, however as servants of the public they should know how to treat us with respect and deal with the most assholish of us without violence unless absolutely necessary. Taser is a last resort before death, not a tool of submission.

People who desire more power can certainly not be trusted with it.

I see this as an incident that was escalated by an obstinate and STUPID citizen. I agree with Rider's assessment.
