<p>Hm, there's also the argument to be made that the police officers didn't know if he had a weapon. That might change things a bit.</p>
<p>one rule : do what the cops tell you to do and there will be no trouble.
i agree that tasing him 4-5 times wasn't necessary, as 2-3 should've done the job of temporarily paralyzing him, which is what the taser guns are designed to do. but to be honest, if i were the cop, i wouldn't have given the guy more than one warning before shooting the taser. and i wouldn't have told him twice to be quiet before shooting the taser again.
it's ridiculous how people disrespect police officers. they're out there trying to protect us and all we can think about is how to get them in trouble.</p>
