Ok i think you need to re-watch this video Zeraph. Firstly there were three officers there. One officer had his right arm and one officer had his left arm. At that point its a simple matter of bringing his hands behind his back and cuffing them. Instead they were twisting his wrists painfully for no real reason and then proceeded to force him onto the ground, grab him by the hair and push him into the dirt. Again, at this point, they could have simply cuffed him. Instead they proceed to (for some reason) flip him over onto his back AND KNEE DROP HIM IN THE RIBS. *That* is the point where he starts to "resist" by standing up and is then immediately hit with the tazer. After that its pretty much him getting this shit beat/tazed out of him.
Sure, he was getting a little handsy, but the officers had plenty of opportunity to take care of this with little to no violence.
