So they don't have to rely on a billy club. Or in certain situations a gun?
None of us were there (except for Jiri possibly) and the truth is always somewhere in the middle, likely the guy was being a tool and the police officers overreacted to the situation for one reason or another and judging from the very short video clip the cop in question likely wouldn't have been able to do much in a physical altercation anyways.
The taser is a valuable tool, but it doesn't do much good when it isn't being used properly and it gets a bad name as a result.
