Right, their other option was to drag a healthy, strong young man bodily thru doorways and down stairs and past a crowd.

Police drag subjects frequently. They could have dragged him out of the building in less than a minute, if they knew what they were doing. 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. Big dudes are handled all the time by the police.

I repeat, since it doesn't seem to be sinking in. A taser is used to STOP a subject, not to make him move. On those grounds alone, these police officers proved they were poorly trained. And on those grounds alone, the kid has a rich lawsuit going, and the officers' jobs are in jeopardy.

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.
