The guy was acting like a wacko. He intentionally destroyed a computer. Cops have been killed by people like that. If the cops had tried to nicely talk to the guy, but instead, he had killed one of the cops, what would your comment be?

I don't put myself in situations like that, but if a cop felt compelled to use force on me, would I prefer that he use his gun, billy club, or a taser. I'd choose taser. Yes, it can be deadly. So can the other two and so can wrestling someone. If you aren't aggressive, and you cooperate, you won't have a problem.
