This is just crazy

At that point I think they should whack him in the head with a billy club, and tell him to shut the fuck up, pay attention, and follow orders. But...that's just me.

I agree with you. He was just being an obnoxious twit at that point. He was being aggressive and unruly when they were trying to escort him from the mic. And to be a good Monday morning quarterback, the cops should have tasered him then - not when he was on the ground with 5 of them on his back. I would have had no problem with it, then.

I just think they were being patient. At some point they got tired of him and said comply or get tazered. It is a lot harder to cuff someone who is fighting than people realize. And again, I don't think cops should HAVE to fight with a guy just because he is being a jackass.

Anyway, I was just in an argumentative mood this morning, and figured this thread was a good one to "get it all out" in. I always enjoy a good argument...gets the blood flowing early in the day. I have lots of work to do, so I am outta here. Have a great day.
