but using only that portion makes the story all that more interesting. Because the Tazing becomes the story.
Not what lead up to it.
The tazing is the story ..the only story.
How obtuse the guy was or what his motives should have no bearing on how he was subdued, only if the force was warranted to protect the public or officer safety.
Now officer safety does not mean mitigate all risk to 0%.
Subduing and cuffing a person who does not want you to is a puckering experience , as it should be, you had better make sure that you are in the right before you do it.
A tazer allows you to force your will from out of harms way, no risk, no pucker.
I know that if I had one I would be less inclined to talk and more inclined to act, no risk, but hey I'm human .
