This video shows the dramatic moment an attempted murder suspect was tasered and bundled into a police van by 20 officers following a tense stand-off in east London during which he allegedly shouted: 'I am your king.'
Before tasering him and knocking him to the ground, police are shown spraying the man with CS gas - which has no effect.
After firing the taser, they rush to surround the man, who has dropped his weapon, and appear to secure him to a stretcher while he shouts.
Neighbours in the Hackney street, alerted by the noise, rush out of their homes and express concern for the man, demanding to know what has happened.
The video was filmed from a balcony overlooking De Beauvoir Crescent by a neighbour who has asked not to be named. It appears to show the man confronting police with a weapon.
"Three police came running up and then this guy came," he told the Standard. "It looked like he was chasing them, not the other way around.

Taze of Thrones? When you play the Taze of Thrones you either win or you lie on the ground twitching and tasting metal in your mouth for a day.

Shouting "I am your king" = Hackneyed.
It would have been cool though, if after shouting that when he was king while strapped down on the litter/stretcher, the police would have lifted him up to shoulder level.
Then maybe strapped the guy to the roof of the ambulance.
You know, like they used to carry royalty around in the bad 'ol days, or like Mittens and the family dog on the roof of the station wagon.

The proper term response would be 'knife wielding person of color'. Nice try racist. Try "Bright young man with a future out for a stroll."

They definitely bundled him. All they had left was to pay postage and ship him back to wherever he came from.
