This is pretty wild, but when don’t follow a cop’s lawful order, you invite a beat down.
The Blaze reports that it’s a question that arises every time video of a violent arrest surfaces: How much force is too much force?
It’s the question some are asking after video surfaced of police in Pittsburgh tasering and clubbing an unruly baseball fan over the weekend. But when you hear that the man was making death threats, the cries of brutality are more subdued.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review explains what happened in the video:
Scott J. Ashley, 41, of Friendship was arrested at Saturday’s Pirates game and charged with four misdemeanors, including public drunkenness and resisting arrest.
The video shows two officers taking at least six swings at a man meeting Ashley’s description, first Tasering him to little effect before clubbing him in the neck, head, side and legs before he is eventually cuffed on the concourse floor.
