That is why he was tazed.
I think he was tazed too much, but the first time was fine.
You don't resist arrest. He had not been searched and the cops had no idea what he had on him, his level of training or what he was capable of/had in mind.
He needed to comply.
It is actually that simple.
I know this sounds odd coming from me, but he was out of line and resisted arrest, what do you expect the cops to do, buy him a brownie?
Huh, a situation where I actually agree with you.

I think a lot of people online who were upset about the incident have exaggerated ideas about how dangerous tasers are. It isn't what I'd call safe, sane and consentual, but it sure beats the good old-fashioned billy club or gun butt method.
