Not sure why these events are 'news' unless it's to remind us that 'tasers bad'. Maybe they were supposed to just shoot him, I dunno.
Anywho...
Police subdued a man with a Taser in downtown Windsor Thursday night after he resisted arrest in a dramatic confrontation that was caught on video by a Windsor Star reporter.
The man, who appeared to be about six foot two and 250 pounds, was acting intoxicated in the Dugout bar at Ouellette and University avenues seconds before he walked out to see several officers approach him, shortly after 9 p.m.
The video shows police telling the man to get on his knees and that he was under arrest for intoxication outside the bar a half flight down from street level. Though he started to kneel down he then stood and would not comply. Police again told him he was under arrest, that they did not want to hurt him, and to throw away his cigarette. Instead, he smoked it.
When a number of police tried to arrest him, he pulled away and had almost slipped out of his jacket when an officer used a Taser on him. He screamed and dropped to the ground, where he was handcuffed.
