I gotta go with the lady on this one. The lady is speeding. She gets
stopped. Is asked to get out of the car twice. For all we know, the
call she was making was to the hospital to see how her critically
injured son was doing. Or she could have been having a heart attack and
was calling an ambulance. The cop could have asked her if the call was
an emergency; he didn't. Finally, when she doesn't get out of the car
after the second request, the cop pulls out his taser which 'looks like
he's pointing a gun at her. She freaks. He tases her. It' important to
note. he threatened to tase here exactly 14 seconds after his first
contact with her.

First. Why did he ask her to get out of the car? I've been stopped
before for traffic violations. I have never been asked to get out of
the car. The cop just takes my DL, does his business while my ass is
still in the driver's seat. Second. The cop was disreprectful to her
from the get-go. Instead of 'Good afternoon mam, do you know why you
were stopped." He said, quote: "You wanna put out your cigarette and
step out of the vehicle for me," with a kind of snotty tone.

Sure the cop is paranoid with every stop he makes. Rightfully so with
all the nuts out there. But that doesn't give him the right to bully
citizens or be rude to them from the start of a stop. This cop did just
that to this lady. Evidently she reacted in kind.

Her moaning was kind of comical. Sounded to me like she was having a
great time!
