Maybe it is because I got the crap beat out of me as a kid on a regular basis. - No humor involved.

I am truly sorry to hear that.

But

1. This guy wasn't seriously hurt. Tazering isn't that bad.'

2. This guy brought it on himself. That's where the humor comes in. He *could* have stopped the tazering at any time. Simply by complying with a resonable request.

This guy was no victim.

Tasering is very painful in all cases. In at least some cases (I don't know the exact number, but it's safe to assume more than a dozen nationwide), death has resulted.

The officers used a taser to compel a subject to rise, a ludicrous project completely contrary to the proper use of the device. As any properly trained police officer knows, a taser is used to subdue a subject, not to make him mobile. Most if not all tasered subjects are not able to move for at least several minutes after they've been tasered. The whole point of using the weapon is to immobilize a subject so he can be handcuffed.

These keystone cops tasered a handcuffed subject to make him "get up." They're idiots, and they're about to be sued up the ying yang.
