This is exactly why I will never get tased. If I cop asked me to put my clothes on, I'd put my clothes on. That would be the end of it.
That guy wasn't cooperating with them. Police Departments can't use physical force to subdue people anymore because there's always a video and always a jury willing to award millions to some bum who couldn't just sit down and let the police do their job. I'm not saying all cops are right, but geez, isn't the easiest solution to simply respect their authority, even if you don't agree with it, and do what you're told until the problem is resolved?
Before tasers, physical force would've had to be used in this type of situation, because they obviously couldn't wrestle the guy to the ground without the altercation becoming more physical. Then you'd have cries of police brutality because the poor naked guy couldn't defend himself. All this idiot had to do was put his clothes on, I really don't think that's too much to ask of anyone.
