Having worked in uniform in Corrections for 25 years, I won’t second-guess the officers until I know more. For all we know the guy could have been trying to bite one of them, spitting at them, or pounding his own head into the floor, which convicts will sometimes do. We can’t see if he was doing any of that, but it looks to me like he wasn’t lying still for them. It’s certainly easier to control them when their hands are cuffed behind them, and they are placed on their stomach. As far as the taser goes, we didn’t have them so I have no first-hand knowledge regarding their usage. All I know is that people complain when the cops don’t use tasers, and then when they do...they still complain. It never helps when obese people get high and have to be restrained. There’s always the potential for something to go wrong.
Okay, whatever he did before what we see here, he’s handcuffed and in a small cell. Why not just unhandcuff him and leave him there in the cell to sober up?
Charge him with whatever crimes he’s committed, but don’t tase someone for a full minute.
Oh yeah, it’s all us, not the cops who manhandle people. ok.
