It must be true…..the entire two minutes of the event are posted online…
In the first video, Once the guy resists, gets tazed, & continues to resist, cops were right.
Second video doesn’t give enough context.

Right to go full 1985 Mike Tyson on him?
Sure, the tazer didn’t touch him, he took a fighting stance & he’s resisting arrest. Are they supposed to talk him into surrendering?
Yes. It's called de-escalation there bubba. Edit to add the fact that de-escalation should be BEFORE a tazer to be clear.
De-escalation after the taser?
Maybe they should call a social worker to help him with his feelings.

Beating someone with handcuffs in your hand (basically brass knuckles) doesn't seem right to me. The guy was probably a tool but I tend to think there was another way to de-escalate.

So what did the first guy do that was so bad?
So after the taser didn’t work, the cops should have said, “ hope I wasn’t out of line with my taser. Since you refuse to be arrested, let’s talk about it”
That’s not a good place for cops to fight. The guy had the cop by the collar & was bigger than him. If he pulls the cop down against the hard seat & concrete steps; then serious injury to the cop can occur.
Once the taser starts & the guy rips them out, I think the cops have every right to use force to get him to comply & in cuffs.
I’m not a cop, so hopefully they can give their perspective. But if I was a juror, I’d side with cops based on that video.
Refused to be arrested, taser didn’t do anything & fought with the cops when they tried to cuff him.
Once you’re arrested, the time to fight is in court. Not at the scene.
