On a more calm note.

Even if he was upset and angry, 4 cops should be able to de-escalate a situation a bit.
The guy did not even talk English and they start tasering after mere 24secs?

Time a normal conversation. 24 secs is barely enough for the small talk at the beginning.

And "non-lethal" does not mean "fun for the whole family". There is a reason these things are in the media. For related reading, please refer to Amnesty International

USA: Renewed call for suspension as taser-related deaths pass 150 mark - news.amnesty - Amnesty International

USA: Excessive and lethal force? Amnesty International's concerns about deaths and ill-treatment involving police use of tasers - Amnesty International

Amnesty International US is renewing its pledge to get rid of tasers in the police force. One of the reasons being that in 5 years, more than 150 people have died.

Non-lethal.
