Cop used excessive force. He wasn’t being attacked. Man wasn’t armed. Cops are trained(or should be) to subdue and cuff most suspects without using clubs,tasers, mace. Why am I reading more and more of these incidents as of recently? I respect the job that police officers have to do, but it seems we are seeing more and more incidents where they are overly paranoid or just plain mean?

You could tell the man wasn’t armed from the video?
The cop couldn’t.
He never even go the chance to search the guy before having to call out the taser.

Assuming that a person isn’t armed isn’t a longevity attribute for cops.
