Again, he did not throw ANYTHING at the police officers.
Yes he threw chairs way before... in the video, he is not throwing anything.
He is clearly agitated, but people are trying to call him down and seem to succeed.
Then the heroes...err arrive.
They talk to him, maybe he is yelling (we can't see nor hear in the video), but he is clearly not attacking anyone.
You can even see him holding up his hands and going in the direction the police officers are pointing him at.
Then they taser him. And they keep the finger on the fucking trigger.

Once again, please get that "tasers are non-lethal" shit industry myth out of your head. 30 deaths by tazer a year in the US alone.
Also don't come at me with "it's less bad than rushing at someone" because the cops STILL rush at him an pin him to the ground with 4 people.
Now, I am FAR, far away from being a cop basher, but power has to be kept in check. Something like this is inexcusable.
