Quote:A person can do some pretty amazing things during an adrenaline rush. Sure, six others of equal or larger build can restrain such a person, but the damage involved might be much more extensive than that from a taser.
The guy did not sound as though he was about to go medieval on them. Also, there's a difference between force and excessive force. Tazering once - maybe. Twice - umm, I suppose it is not completely rediculous, although... hmm. 6 times with this particular guy? Excessive force. After watching the vid, I have to believe that the cops knew that this guy was not a real serious threat. They just wanted to show him who's boss.
See, I have no problem with this method when it is warranted. If a guy is holding a weapon, tazer him 20 times for all I care. Where was the implied threat to them? Where was a possible hidden weapon? In his ass?
I thought that was reserved for watches?
