As for the "strong, healthy" condition of the subject, Hulk Hogan could be dragged by three properly trained police officers if he was in handcuffs.

Ah -- you have no experience with this kind of thing, then.

That is flat-out false.

If Hulk Hogan wanted to struggle, dragging him out, someone is going to get hurt.

Pick any average young man around you. Then you and 2 other men try and lift him while he just struggles, wriggling.

Try it, then get back to me.

You don't understand what we're talking about, here.

Nonsense. I have seen the police cart 200 plus lbs, combative drunks from Dolphin Stadium on several occasions. It is literally impossible to overcome 3 or more police while handcuffed, or to even put up any kind of serious fight. If leg kicking becomes an issue, then leg restraints can be applied, a technique I have also seen used with my own eyes on a combative subject.

The police are trained to handle people in this condition. That's a major part of their training, and a major part of their reason for being in society - to subdue combative lawbreakers. There's way to do it right, within the law and within reason.

Tasering a subject to get him to move is not within the law and not within reason, as these UCLA cops are about to find out in spades.
