Just because someone is a police officer does not make his word sacred and does not absolve him of the need to deal with people in a manner which defuses a situation, when it can.

Agreed

Israeli soldiers at checkpoints, who are constantly in enemy fire range and are often the target of even suicide attacks, do not shoot at people because they were too slow to follow orders.

Probably good training and the knowledge that shooting is almost certainly lethal force. I think some police think of tasering as "safe" and therefore will resort to it a bit too readily

And I went out of my way to be as corteous and as least demeaning as I could. I intentionally put my M16 behind my back so that it wouldn't point at anyone, even though it would take me more time to get into position.

Some of the workers were definitely bigger than me, they came in huge groups (and I was alone) in 5 am, and most of them didn't speak hebrew and were pretty annoyed when I checked their licenses and were even argumentative.

But they are living people. They have the right to get moody and be argumentative. And I, as a guard, bear a responsibility to take a possible risk, and not draw my gun in every situation.

It sounds as if you handled things well and with normal folks that were only being inconvenienced by someone that was trying to treat them with respect, I am not surprised you had no big incidents

Notice that Donegeal has never acknowledged that there's any harm in tasering beyond the chance of death.
