^^^^Well done.
There's nothing civil about this war.
Bolke and Dobbs are right again. I’m betting that the fellow officer was struck by the two rounds that appear to be fired after the bad guy goes down.

Certainly not the way I would have handled it, but I'm apparently a dinosaur.
That said, the comments is both ridiculous and wrong.
Negative. Police are allowed to use REASONABLE force. That is not the same as "minimum amount" and "minimum amount" has never been the legal standard.Police are allowed to use the "minimum amount of force" necessary to effect their arrest.
Then you haven't seen much. The guy isn't even actively fighting. It's passive resistance other than grabbing the Taser.This is one of the most pathetic and potentially dangerous uses of force I have ever seen.
In the most technical sense, sure. It was a robbery when he took the officer's Taser. He took property by force. My state also specifically makes attempting to disarm an officer of any weapon, Taser, etc. to be a felony. Realistically, though...no. A guy trying to maintain his feet and taking a spent Taser is not a lethal force situation, particularly with that many officers on him.It could have very easily turned into a lethal force situation due to their LACK of action.
In short, there's certainly some issues there but the comments vastly inflate the situation. I guess that gets more clicks or whatever, but the suspect never even threw a punch. If that's the most dangerous resist you've ever seen you've had a pretty blessed career.
As to why the officers did what they did, who knows. I'd say perhaps over reliant on their tools, wanting a more "picturesque" resist, or maybe the guy is just a mentally ill frequent flier that they don't want to smoke because they know it'll just make him harder to deal with next time.
That said, if they hadn't worked against each other, didn't bother with the tools, and just took his arms, broke his stance, and laid him down they'd have been fine. I suspect this is an instance were two cops would have been better than more than two cops. Too many hands, not enough coordination.
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
That was a sad display.

Related question for you guys who use a taser at work. Has anyone ever seen the “drive stun” mode used effectively? It sure looked like in this case it just made the arestee more resisty.
I’ve never taken a full ride with probes, but I did ask a friend in LE to hit me with the drive stun a couple of times and the pain wasn’t nearly as noteable as the massive adrenaline dump and an immediate flipping of my internal “fight” switch, which looks to me to be what happened here too.
Yeah, the comments on just about any SM post are beyond mind-numbing. I would prefer it if I could post the video without the comments.Originally Posted by BehindBlueI's
