Comment Facts on the video (Score 1) 1819

I've seen a variety of comments on the video that don't seem to sync with what actually happened: (note: these observations are based off the one of the video links
  1. "There was no need to arrest him.": We don't know at what point he was being arrested and at what point he was being removed from the area. Officers can remove you from involvement and not arrest you. The only basis for the belief that he was being arrested are his immediate cries that "What are you arresting me for!" (0:15)
  2. "He was in handcuffs when we was tazed.": No he is not. At 1:55 when he asks not to be tazed you can clearly see he has pulled free from the officers and is holding onto a chair.
  3. "He was pinned down by the X number of officers.": He was not pinned. He initially complies and rolls onto his stomach. (1:35) After a few seconds of struggle he rolls back over and grabs onto a chair (1:52)
  4. "He wasn't warned.": At 1:15 he is warned by two officers that he needs to stop resisting, and he continues to scream and fight. One officer is heard to clearly say "you will be tazed if you do not comply"
If we are going to debate the cause and effect, as well as the ultimate "correct actions" of the officers, we should at a bare minimum get the details correct and not follow gut reactions.
