If this instance was so egregious, has anybody heard about any action being taken against the cops? I mean I'm sure it wouldn't be hard being on video and in an auditorium full of people including a US senator.
Yes, there is an investigation into their use of force.

The taser is not a handcuff. It is meant as an alternative to a gun. If he is not enough of a threat to shoot, he's not enough of a threat to tase.
