so, is the argument about tasers, there is no point using them unless they 'always' work?

interesting

and still I'm unsure what this has to do with the story in this thread,,,,

The topic is excessive.
Three different cops used a tazer on the man. Is that excessive? Why didn't they just wrestle him down?
If there was only the one cop and his tazer didn't stop the suspect and the suspect punched the cop would it be excessive to shoot the suspect to stop him from causing more harm to the cop?
Where is the line between excessive force and necessary force?

taking the butt of a gun to hit someone that is already restrained, is excessive

proceeding to beat , three to one, someone to the point they have to be hospitalized(as in, KEPT IN THE HOSPITAL, not just seen at the hospital) is excessive

I don't think that's a line that's so hard to determine in this case or many others,,,
