I saw some questions as to what the police men should have done instead of using violence.

(stupid behaviour or not by the person involved.
If we have to taze everybody who's actinbg stupid then the whole world would smell like grilled bacon)

Simple Note the licence plate numer and send a big fine to the holder of that licence.
Very simple and effective Thats what they do here if they can't catch the offender on the spot.
And if someone panics or has mental problems to comply with police officer then they'll just make sure the person in question can't drive away.
And call in a backup team who can handle people in stress or panic.
Most of the time it is just enuf to wait just 5minutes till the person calms down and starts to realize what is going on.
