I think I missed something here. He was clearly told he was under arrest. He refused to follow the officers instructions (resisted arrest), so the officer used an appropriate level of force to effect the arrest.
You can argue about whether it was better to use the taser or to beat him with a club, but either way he had to come out of the car.
I think this is a classic illustration of why it's not a good strategy to argue law with the police beside the road. Save it for the courtroom.
Even if the initial reason for the arrest turns out to result in no charges, he can certainly be charged with resisting arrest--which is an arrestable offense.
