Cops are always getting a hard time for their actions, some justified some not, but you have to hand it to this officer for his level of patience involved.  
 
By the end I was pulling my own hair out hoping they tasered her lol.  
 
This one is good too, but the perp uses strong language so nsfw.  

the perspectives of some people when it comes to these types of situations. First, this isn't a traffic stop, unless I'm missing something. From what I can tell, he is sitting in a coffee shop and left on foot. Next, while the poster may see a certain type of behaviour, what they fail to see is that this is very likely a homeless person with mental illness. And so while the poster may want to suggest that this person should somehow get tasered, our society is structured in a way that isn't supposed to punish those less fortunate people who suffer mental illness with unreasonable punishment. Try to see the situation from the perspective of the man filming this episode, and try to have some compassion for how his life seems to be unfolding. Instead of suggesting that this man get some much needed help, somehow he is worthy of electrocution (tasering). As for the police officers, sure they did a great job, but that is what they are paid to do.  
 
Personally, I find this posting to be a little more concerning than what actually transpired from the video. Can't understand why some people seem to feel that anyone that is suffering some kind of mental illness, is somehow worthy of punishment by government agents, through high voltage electrocution.

Why don’t you watch the first traffic video.

I find the second video shockingly doesn’t show what the guy was doing to have the cops called. I suspect his attitude and actions were similar long before the video started. Hence the reason the people working there called the cops.

The woman in the first video was not homeless, or 'broke' as she suggested. She is a County legislator named Jennifer Schwartz Berky just trying to get out of a ticket

Regarding the second video, it's fairly evident that the guy could have mental issues, I'm just surprised by how well the officers handled the situation, and how patient they were with him.  
 
The person in the first video is the one I felt deserved a taser blast, maybe not a full one, just a little bzzzt :p
