Old video, but dammit. This should not happen.

Right off the bat I saw several things that justify the tasing. First, the cop had to ask him more than once for his license and registration. The scop should only have to ask once. Second, I couldn't hear the exact words but it sounded like he was giving the cop some lip. Finally the cop writes out the ticket, presents it to the driver, and instead of accepting the ticket the perp starts giving the cop a hard time. Finally the cop tells him to get out of the car and put his hands behind his back. Instead of complying he tells the cop "you're crazy" and starts walking away. Is this guy an idiot ? What do you expect to happen if a cop tells you to do something and not only do you not comply but you tell him he's nuts and then do the exact opposite of what you are told ? I would say that the perp is lucky. he's lucky he didn't receive a headbust or a shooting.
When a cop tells you to do something you DO IT!! You don't say "what" ? or "huh ?", or "Yo", or "You're crazy ?" You do what you are told to do immediately or else you face arrest, a tasing, a beating, or a shooting for non-compliance. If you don't like what the cop is doing you hash it out in court. Not on the field.
My God, even after he is tazed and handcuffed he is still disobeying orders and acting like an ass. Is this guy looking to get shot ? Does he want to die ? I can hardly believe this video is real. I can't believe anyone can be so belligerent and stupid.

This sort of thing is getting worse by the year. The federal government has been supplying police and sheriff's departments with more and more military weaponry as well as high-technology surveillance and monitoring equipment. For all the hype and bullshit about "liberty," the US is being steadily turned into a third-world police state in preparation for a time when food, energy and fuel reach the "dispute" levels and society starts to come apart.
Think "Kent State" on a grander scale.
It's not Kent state. It;s a case of a moron who refused to follow orders. You don;t act that way when the cops tell you to do something. Is the guy crazy ?Originally Posted by W3MIV

Agreeing with IZE on this one. Sometimes it's just better to follow the instructions, likely save your own life and call your lawyer in the morning. Getting tazed would been the least of that guys problems around here...... around here, he would have been very lucky to have even made it to jail. That had to be the stupidest move I have ever seen made by a complete dumbass that was being harassed by a thug that needs to look for a different career. If the stress of being on the job is working on you that much when your beat is in the middle of nowhere, you have serious mental issues.

Trolls!
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
OK, I'll bite.
Asshole cop, out of control. Period.
Add to that, stupid Utah cop lying to his sheriff bud.
I have to agree with Carlo. What's with the trolling? It's boring and it's stupid.
If he signed the ticket, he is on his way. But no, he is going to act like dick and force the cop's hand. Another example of somebody who thinks the rules only apply to other people.
The point is, as others here have pointed out, is that when a cop tells you to stand in a spot and put your hands behind you he MEANS BUSINESS !! It doesn't mean walk away it means stand there and to what you are told. It doesn't matter if you feel that the cop is wrong. The cop has the upper hand and the authority and you are to do what you are told. If you want to fight the charge then you do it afterwards in court. For your own good you don't challenge the law in the field. I'll say it again. This guy is LUCKY. In many places he would have gotten a lot more than a simple tazing.

It's nice to know we have some well-trained citizens here. Perhaps dance lessons in goose-stepping are next?
