I'm sure it can happen under the right scenario, but this homeless guy? Anyway, lets say it did take 6 trained officers to pin him. I find it hard to believe they couldn't have cuffed him and kept him on the ground without the extensive beating and a "5th tasering"
"Eye witnesses say the homeless man -Kelly Thomas, 37 - was unable to put up any resistance and was lying on the ground on his front when the attack took place"
'They kept beating him and tasering him. I could hear zapping, and he wasn't even moving."
Listen to the rest of the quotes from the witnesses. "I don't know why they don't cuff him instead of beating him"
Why not? What scenario makes a beating this severe ok? What makes you think this was such a scenario?
