I will say, though, that while you may feel that disturbing the peace is a catchall charge for the police, I think we saw an example of it on tape. If nothing else, I expect you'll agree with me that he was being rude.
That said, the taser is in the "less-than-lethal" weapon catagory. It's meant to be used in place of a gun. It was not by any means appropriate in this situation in my opinion.

hmmm I don't know that it means gun replacement to me. I think it means another tool that has it's place and we're finding that it is being used in place of a club/nightstick to poke and prod.
So this person was acting like a cow, not moving when asked, so he got treated like one.
