I'm certainly not a fan of cops on power trips as many are, but I have also worked in securty in the past, for many years in fact. It's one thing when a guy is ranting and yelling in protest while you walk him out, it's quite another when he is resisting and trying to physically assault you while you attempt to do your job. Force will almost always be used in the latter, and lord knows I've wrestled my share of idiots to the floor and pinned them forcibly until they quit fighting.
I've never taesered anyone, but have used force to subdue the problem. The guy in this video did seem to be wildly resisting what looks to be a simple removal from the premises and not an arrest. Overzealous on the force or not, if you choose to get physical and go out of control resisting, you get what you get.
He brought it on himself.
Do I like that it had to come to that? Not at all. There was certainly a better way to ask his questions in a more calm and respectful manner instead of coming from the tone of being a mouthy ranting lunatic. He got his 30 seconds of free speech, the venue then exercised it's right to remove him.
