You mean besides resisting the lawful orders of an police officer?

Being a d-bag. The fact that he was driving drunk and resisting arrest is merely incidental.

[Wiglaf]

The person he was talking to probably laughed his ass off.

Do police officers not receive physical training? I somehow fail to understand how this would have been the only chance for him to cope with the situation, rather than take the cellphone away from him.

Watch the video and listen to the audio, that's what they tried to do first after repeated and surprisingly polite verbal requests (which any court will recognize as lawful orders) to hang up the phone. The officer finally reaches in, but the video is too dark to make out how the driver physically responded though it was rapidly downhill from there. Any aggressive motion from a suspect is not well received by police, so this guy was doomed from the moment he first said, "No." to hanging up.

Edit: Grammar was off; presented different meaning from what I intended.

[Ecthy]

Before Tazers, what would the officer have done? Shoot him? Doubtful. Walk off? Unlikely.

[DRoseDARs]

Surfing multiple tabs and responding to posts at the same time is bad, m'kay? I think I caught your meaning now. You're right of course, but that doesn't make the video any less funny and satisfying.

Before I watched the video I was gonna take issue with this, but not after watching it. The only point now is what would happen if he was on the phone with his lawyer (theoretically)? He could claim that the police interfered with his right to council. I dont think it would hold up in the long run, but it might be interesting.

He doesn't get to do things on his schedule. He would have been able to call a lawyer.

My response to that scenario would be that he should have either told the officers that he had his lawyer on the phone (I doubt it would have mattered, he'd still have to comply with the officers' orders) or better yet simply have set the phone down without hanging up and allowed his lawyer to hear what was going on.

Instead he decided to act like a privileged douchebag and got his ass tased, bro.

Somehow, read that as "Tarzan incident". Would have been much more interesting.
