Y'all REALLY need to seperate the two issues.

1) Was he driving while impaired (was it a good stop). I don't think anyone is arguing that this wasn't a good stop.

2) Was the use of the TASER in this case appropriate? Hell no: it should NOT be used as a compliance tool. Whether the man's impairment was because of an unexpected bloodsugar drop, or because he had just drank the Pabst brewery dry, he was not a threat...

This man speaks truth.
