For all of you that say the taser was not necessary, how would you get the trespasser off the property, you asked him nicely to leave. Seriously folks, he was breaking the law, and refused to cooperate with police.
There only real options were to pick him up and drag him out. Smack him with the Billy club until he cooperated. Or taser him till he cooperated. Billy clubs are always a bad choice. He could lash out if he was dragged out causing injury to the police and forcing the police to restrain him. tasering was an acceptable option. tasering 5 times seems excessive to me, but it may have been justified, we will only know that after an investigation.
Just some more information i can bring to the table, the taser they use at my college keeps track of the time and duration it is used. When they get back to the station, they plug it in and all the information is recorded. Hopefully they have something similar.
