Drunk morons should be handled with come-along holds or pressure points to force compliance. Tasing and beating are another whole level. People have died the result of being tasered. Again what was the rush? let him freeze his a$$ off till he complies. They assumed he was intoxicated, what if he was just physically or mentally disabled?

Pressure points and pain compliance techniques often do not work when somebody is pumped up on adrenaline, alcohol and/or drugs. This guy was drunk...

So then a taser and some stick time is going to make him comply? Object being they should start with the lesser force level and advance it as need be. (How long do they think he would stay half naked in the cold snow before asking to be go to jail?) Use of force should be in their manual and training, of course who knows.
