We don't see what happened leading up to him being in cuffs. We have no sense if the guy had been violent prior to that.
The guy wasnt kicking anyone or otherwise being aggressive. Why the kicks to the ribs? Really? Why the violence against a naked man whose only resistance was refusing to turn over on his stomach in the snow?
Once again, let's see the entire story here - the video starts in mid-stream.
We can go with what we see on the video. The guy is NOT resisting other than not turning over. And maybe he COULDN’T after being tasered.
But either way, the taser rendered him incapacitated.
If the beatings and kickings are related to something BEFORE the video started, then the violence is vindictive and abusive.
Otherwise, it is unnecessary, as the guy is NOT aggressive.

Makes no difference. If two or more presumably able-bodied LEO’s can’t manage one, hand-cuffed, naked drunk — then those LEO’s aren’t cut out for the job. If they don’t find another line of work, they are going to either *seriously* hurt someone unnecessarily or get hurt themselves. These guys don’t appear to have the temperament for the job.
I keep saying it, but it bears repeating: We need more Andy Griffiths and fewer Barney Fifes.
