Case in point, at the Stamps home opener, I saw some drunken moron pick a fight at the end of the game that ultimately required about 7 cops/security guards to get him under control and in cuffs. Even so, I happened to be exiting the stadium when he decided to try resisting again. End result: he ate a face full of cement and had a taser set point blank at his back if he continued on. And from what parts of these incidents I could see, there was nothing remotely excessive about the force used. The guy seemed completely out of control.
