Uh.... So the "zapping" sound, and the repeated paralysis the guy was going through must have been MORE bullets right? C'mon dude, be realistic here...

...and I'm guessing you've no cops as friends. When the guy went for his truck, he could have been going for a weapon, or to drive off and potentially kill someone. He WAS drunk. He was beligerant, and simple decent human cooperation with the cop would have avoided it. What it your son or daughter was playing 50 feet down the road... Would you feel differently about "waiting for backup" then?

When I get pulled over, I follow instructions, don't make sudden moves, and don't give them ANY reason to be suspicious... It's that easy. If my wife or kids acted like that to a cop, I wouldn't argue about use of a taser....

Yes, there are cops that are jerks out there, they are a microcosm of society... But I'm sorry, this guy was justified.
