He refused to comply ...officers had to deploy their tasers to subdue him . . .

THIS is the most ridiculous report I've ever read . . .

“It's a big concern for the officers to keep this guy out of traffic, to keep him from getting hurt,



“He refused to comply with the officers and so the officers had to deploy their Tasers in order to subdue him. He is making incoherent statements; he's also making statements such as, ‘Shoot cops, kill cops,’ things like that. So there was cause for concern to the officers,” said Ozark Police Capt. Thomas Rousset. Police say although there are several unanswered questions; the reason for the use of a stun gun is not one of them. “It's a big concern for the officers to keep this guy out of traffic, to keep him from getting hurt,” said Rousset. Mace was still in intensive care on Wednesday night, listed in fair condition. He was scheduled for surgery again on Thursday.

Tasering someone 19 times is now "keeping him from getting hurt" . . !!
