That is flat-out false

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.
