first things first, i find the video funny because watching someone get tasered always makes me laugh.
but it's a horrible precedent if people decide to let those cops get away with this. that's ridiculous. he didn't do anything worthy of any kind of physical force. it was an overreaction by the police that caused him to overreact and it spiraled out of control. i'm not defending the asshole cops, but also think about the fact that they're in a tough spot. on one side, they have people there recording it, they don't want to be the asshole cops who are on the news about police brutality. but on the other side, they don't want to be the people who let some asshole pull out a gun and shoot john kerry. they are law enforcement, the worst scenario is always on their mind.
regardless, they should held accountable for the stupid shit they pulled as well. i find it disturbing that there are people who side with the police on this. since when is it a crime to ask a question of someone who supposedly works for us??? he is controlling my life in an essence, he owes me explanations.
