I can see why your not a cop, you want someone to potentially loose their life for something as minor as taking down someone who is drunk and resisting arrest. But you wouldn’t risk your own.
You think the perp has more rights than the cop, but they have equal rights.
The most important right is the right to life, or have do you disagree?

Since exactly when is a bumbling drunk at a golf event a "threat" to the cop's life?
Unless you count simply shooting his mouth off and acting like a drunken jackass, was he physically violent? No. Was he armed? No. Was he in a state of peak physical and mental awareness so as to easily inflict harm on others? No. Was he severely outnumbered by both the police and the common spectators in the crowd? Yes. Given that scenario, it is safe to say that there was a far greater risk of the drunk guy losing his life if something went wrong with the tasering than him inflicting any similar harm on somebody else.
