Actually, no, it is not long at all it the driver has his turn signal on and is travelling at a slow rate of speed. They say he travelled less than a mile. There is nothing unusual about this at all.
Shocking that a person who claims to be in law enforcement has never heard of someone waiting for a safe place to pull over. It happens all the time. In fact women are told to do this at night.

The initial officer ordered him to put his hands out of the window how many times before he finally complied? It was at least around ten times. Would it take you more than two to finally do what you're being instructed to do? The "threats" of violence, which consisted of one statement (ride the lightning), only occurred after this dude actively refused to do what he was instructed to do. He even tried to play the "I'm a veteran" card, like that excuses him from actually following a lawful order.

The gun was out BEFORE there was ever an "initial order". That is the big problem I have with this situation. This was a stop for a registration check with no fleeing or running from the police. If the officer had just walked up to the driver and asked for the registration there would not have been any problem.
The officer was acting crazy under these circumstances. Why pull a gun and order a person out of a car for a registration violation when the officer could actually see the tag in the rear window?

I have actually driven for more than a minute and a half looking for a place to pull over many times when I have been lighted and I guarantee you the officer did not come out of his car with his gun draw ordering me out of the vehicle.
It has never "mirrored" what happened in this case.
And the big thing to remember is that this driver had done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG TO DESERVE TO BE PULLED OVER IN THE FIRST PLACE. I don't blame him for being afraid to get out of the car.
