It's not a question of whether it was 'deserved' or not - it's a matter of the guy jumping out of his car to confront the cop & repeatedly failing to comply with a lawful order. After he refused to get back in the car & then to comply by turning around/putting his hands up, the officer must assume that it's a potential 'bad guy' and would be an idiot to not act accordingly. And tazing after repeated refusal to comply vs. physically wrestling/hitting with a baton/shooting is a far better & safer alternative. And the dumbass deserved it anyway for the confrontational attitude & refusing to do as he was told - it's a crock that he was aquitted of resisting, since apparently he fought them even when already down.
