Sign the ticket, or get tasered!

I just came across an unbelievable story..

External News Source FOXNews.com

"He was completely in charge," Gardner said. "He said 'No I'm not signing the ticket.' I told him well 'OK, that's fine, hop out. Turn around, put your hands behind your back.' Wouldn't do it.

"'Turn around put your hands behind your back," the officer continued. "And uh, he was jumping around, making me nervous as hell, he was back here over to here. I'm like 'Nah, we're not playing this game.' Pull out the Taser. Turn around right now, or I Taser you."

"Good for you," the other officer responds.

Does a speeding ticket warrant this kind of treatment. Basically, the cop is saying that he is judge and jury, and this man is guilty, and will bend to his will.

Where does it stop?
Shoot his pregnant wife if she doesn't get back in the car?

I just found the link to the actual dash cam.

State Patrol Dash Cam on YouTube

The guy walks up to the car with a clenched fist. He was obviously having a bad day, and was taking it out on this poor kid and his pregnant wife.

Unbelievable.

(i was just noticing he may have had a pen in his hand, and that is why his fist was clenched)
