My take after seeing the video:
- Video begins and you can see the man walking away from a monitor rolling away from him on the ground.
- Man is approached by the 4 cops.
- Man stands there not doing anything.
- Police take that opportunity to take him into custody.
So as we see it there's about 10 or 15 seconds from the last monitor being thrown to the first jolt of electricity. And just judging by seeing tasers being used on "COPS", once you shoot the probes at the suspect you really don't get a second chance to reload and fire again. So they acted when the window presented itself.
Could this be a "lessons learned" exercise? Sure. There were a few things that could have been handled better; like as mentioned getting medical help sooner; etc.
