That is why it is procedure that you put the "suspect" in handcuffs first. That is to protect all parties involved. If the suspect doesn't comply, then you force them to the ground and try, if they still don't comply, you taser them. But you should try to put them in cuffs first before you attempt anything else.
How often do you see them placed in cuffs before being "frisked"?
All the time. An officer that does not do it every time with a suspect will find out soon enough why it is procedure.
Really ... so the "hands against the wall and spread 'em" never happens?
