Replace "tased" with "beat with a baton" in these stories, and
it's a lot easier to see if it makes sense.

Not listening to what a cop says doesn't give him the right to inflict severe pain and possibly threaten your life.

Guess what? If you do something that the cop feels threatened, he's taking your ass down before you have a chance to take his ass down. This is why you should always comply with any command a cop gives you, no matter how right you think you are.

You're never going to win with a cop. This guy tried winning by not listening, walking back to his car and it looked like he was going to his pocket.

Iggy - I aggre - in this case it's pretty borderline because of the way the guy was walking/grabbing his pocket - pretty suspicious looking. (Although it does look like it was his cell phone that he put in there when he first got out of the car).

There are definitely other cases where the cop wasn't threatened at all but used a taser because the person wasn't cooperating.

Yo, borderline? Cop tells him to put his hands up and turn around, and he reaches into his pockets. The only excuse for this is to not speak any English (and that usually won't be a comforting excuse when you're shot anyways)
