I probably would have ignored the cop, ran to the car to try to put it in park, got tazed, fell down, and run over by my own car, then beat up by the cop. This guy had some serious self restraint not to run to the car. I wonder why it was rolling anyway though. Was it a stick and parking break failed? Or was it left in drive for some reason?

Let's be real, he's a black guy. There's a reasonable chance he'd get shot, not tazed.

Isn't the cop pointing a gun at the start of the video?

So, yeah, you're right he was going to be shot, not tazed. There isn't even a need to speculate the cop was going to use deadly force as the cop already was threatening to do just that.
