But she dared him to do it. 
Video from Today Show
MSNBC article
Grandma pulled over for 60 in a 45, driving a new Tundra. Officer writes her a ticket and tells her to sign. She refuses. He tells her again. She refuses. He warns her that she will be arrested if she insists on not signing the ticket. She tells him to go ahead and arrest her. She steps out of the vehicle, but is standing rather close to the roadway, so the officer gives her a little shove to get her away from the road when she refuses to comply. She yells at him and sidles back over to the roadside like an angry 4 yr old. He tells her to get over or she will be tazed. He tells her like 3 times. Now she's willing to sign the ticket but the cop isn't having it anymore. He tells her to stay where she is. She says she's getting back in her car. This happens twice. He warns her again that she will be tazed. She keeps pushing to get back in her car so he tazes her. She falls on the ground and screams. He tells her to put her hands behind her back.
Afterwards, she files a complaint saying she was mistreated. She wasn't being combative, vulgar, or in any way unpleasant. Dash cam footage is released. She shuts up and hires a lawyer.
To me it's good to see that the department is standing behind the officer and supporting him, saying he handled the situation appropriately. Although I know 8Mud will chime in and claim that the cop should've defised the situation without tazing her because now she hates the police and will join an underground militia.
