That guy was way triggerhappy with that taser and the whole situation would have been avoided if the cop wasn't acting like deputy drill sergeant.
One thing I've learned over the years is that your tone of voice will set the tone for the situation. If you're calm, the other person will be calm. If you're walking into a hostile situation and the person you're trying to calm down is already pissed and loud - acting the same way will only act as a spark in a powder keg and set the whole thing off.

I'm pretty sure bumping him with the door was unintentional. They are a couple feet from speeding cars. The cops job is to keep the guy safe.
The dude over reacted and used the "door bump" as a way to get heated. Right after he got bumped he reacted. Then the cop reacted.
Lucky the dude didnt get shot by a real gun. It's not lethal and pretty effective.
When you pull over someone and the dude is acting upset or angry. Bad things happen every time.
