Nude martial arts guy takes on cops (Chappaqua, New York. Tasing Included)

An angry naked martial arts expert took on four policemen in a street fight, wresting one of their batons away and withstanding two Taserings before being finally subdued, in New York state on Sunday.
'It was sort of a police officer's worst nightmare,' commented local Police Chief Louis Alagno
The naked incident started on Sunday evening, when a naked man, later identified as 28-year-old Peter Lu, started banging on a woman's door in Chappaqua, New York for no apparent reason.
The woman called police – but when Officer Frank Cavallaro arrived at the aptly named Hardscrabble Road, Lu charged at him, nakedly. Cavallaro responded by Tasering him.
By this point, Lu was on the ground, still naked. Cavallaro ordered him to put his hands behind his back, so he could be handcuffed, but Lu refused. More Tasering ensued – but rather than subduing Lu, this seemed only to enrage him.
He fought back at Cavallaro, disabling the Taser by knocking the cartridge out of his hand, and then disarming the officer of his baton when he tried to swing that.

Public nudity by males has just GOT TO STOP!
On the other hand, I’m not COMPLETELY inflexible....reasonable age, weight and gender parameters could be worked out ;-)

Wonder if the LEO’s involved sized up their opponent before the melee ensued?

'I would describe his behavior as bizarre,' Alagno commented. 'Was it drugs? Was it mental illness? I don't know.'I'll tell you what it was.
It was clarity. Simple, perfect clarity.

Perhaps it is something you taser-poofs don't see much more: testosterone. Nope, probable PCP. Bad stuff and explains both nakedness and first tazing not being effective. Glad the cop was not hurt. There are reports of PCP perps surviving point blank shots in the chest with a .357 for several minutes.

Once I saw the taser wasn’t working I’d have tried the .40cal, bet that would’ve worked.
