Not co-operating with an officer automatically sets off alarm bells in his/her head - why are they so anxious not to leave the vehicle, why do they refuse simple orders, why do they not put their hands on the wheel. Its more complicated than saying "Its killed people, make it hard to access". Its probably saved more lives than its ever taken.

I agree with this, if people would simply comply with the peace officer, most of this, if not all, could be avoided. The reality is, we need police, they have a job to do, and if someone feels he is being wrongly arrested or detained, in this country, he should tell the judge. I cannot imagine why police officers have to be compelled to scuffle with people physically in order to detain them. I certainly would have none of that if I was a cop.
I would opt for tranqulizer dart guns, but surely some people would end up dead from this to, from some kind of allegric reaction or something. Just follow the officer's instructions, that would work.
