Student shot with Taser by UCPD officers

For a lot of departments Tasers are used before things get to the laying on of hands slamming a jackass to the ground stage.

I did see the sequelae of a nightstick beatdown once. There was no attempt to describe it as a "fall down the stairs" (which is amusing for people who know there are no stairs to the cells).

Trying to get the pistol out of an officer's holster is considered impolite in these parts.

I do see more people post-Taser than post-pepper spray these days, though. The Taser has the advantage of being more likely to work.
