It's one thing if he was harming or even threatening to harm other people. Then by all means, tase away. But he was just being an naked idiot... I'm not sure that merits getting tased.
Asking it another way: what would the cops have done pre-tasers? Shot him? Or subdued him through other means? I don't believe they would have just beat him up as some people are suggesting. The police are by-and-large much smarter and better at dealing with people than that. Sure some force would have been required but it would have hardly been of the brutal assault kind.

You must be new to CP taser threads. We will go back and forth for a few more pages before this one is over.
