The officer tased the citizen. The citizen defended himself from an illegal assault.
I wasn’t taking the side of police. Just trying to understand the circumstances.
Trouble is when you try to defend yourself from the police you are bound to lose. I think prudence/safety dictates cooperation with the police, for the reason just stated, even when you’re sure they’re wrong. My house was searched without a warrant (I was not guilty of anything) and I decided not to attempt to prevent it. Lived to tell about it.
