Not wanting to start a flame war or anything, just wanting to add my own opinion, but I agree with Pierre-Marie Baty in that it's not that funny - that kind of force was totally unnecessary. But, by the same token, maybe he was in a rought neighbourhood where lots of people would pull a gun on a cop for giving them a speeding fine, though in which case "keep your hands on the steering wheel" would have sufficed. Anyway, couldn't see inside the car, so maybe there was cause for concern - but by the time the lady was out of the car, two police officers vs one elctro-shocked lady screaming in pain....I think they could have handled that without another shot.
Again, I should stress that that's just my opnion on the footage - not trying to bait (if it seems that way, then some admin please remove my post and have a go at me).
