The officer told her to put the phone down.  She wasn't reaching for it, 
she already had it in her hand.

 From here, I don't think the tasing was necessary.  The only thing that 
would make a difference is if the officer had seen something else in her 
hand or her actions that he didn't describe on the tape.

As for her cussing him out, that was entirely understandable, it was 
after she was tased.  Before the tasing, I saw nothing wrong with her 
attitude except for how slow she was getting out of the truck.

If it makes any difference, I'm a white guy. In February I saw 3 black 
teenagers tip off a kid's video game, hop in a car and drive away.  It 
was almost enough to make me join the Klan, for a few days.

What happened afterward?  Did she sue?  Did it cause any kind of 
commotion in the community?  Was there any other official response 
outside the police department (mayor, state, county?).
