I don't see the problem. The guy was resisting arrest and was struggling. If you notice in the video, they warn him that if he doesn't do what they ask they are going to tase him. Then, he struggles and tries to get to his feet, and wrenches an arm free right before he gets tased, which only lasts for a second or two. Then he whines like a little bitch for the rest of the video.
The taser seems like a safe way to get him to comply without risking injury to him or the officers. He was struggling too much for them to subdue him, and they were going to have to escalate force and risk an injury. The taser was a good alternative...it put him back on his ass and they could deal with him.
I mean seriously, the guy was resisting arrest and they didn't hit him with a baton, strike him, etc. Instead, they tried to wrestle him under control and failing that they tased him. I don't think I would have had that much patience.
