Commiefornia Police Kick in Door and Taze Person Filming Them
Okay so a few questions here. The police in question said they were responding to a domestic violence call. Does that automatically give them probable cause? Is this the type of overreaching crap they're trying to do here?

Oh dear. In before the lock.
Teaches me I need a better defense against ANY type of intruder. I'd bash the cops, but they have EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES excuse under the law.(maybe I dunno) Anyways, do stupid shit, win stupid prizes. Yes the USA is a police state, get used to it. Yes, the state will find an excuse to violate your rights, read the NDAA. The state knows better than you, they educated you! Now turn in your high capacity magazines and light up your bong...
Need more information on the call and the circumstances leading up to the contact before any comment can be made concerning the video.

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
It still doesn't excuse kicking in a door, guns drawn, and then tazing the owners who obviously posed no threat. While there may be an legitimate reason for entering the house without a warrant, I'd say the officers used excessive force. If they really were there on a domestic violence call, they tazed the supposed victim as soon as they entered the house! So much for protecting her...
And you are basing your opinion on a 90 second video with no additional information? The "article" posted by BushMasterBoy doesn't cover it very well either. Who called the police? What was stated at that time? Did the agency have previous contact (history) with these two parties? I don't know these answers, which would influence how I handled the contact. The video certainly doesn't provide any answers either.

I agree the video doesn't tell the whole story but that 90 seconds does say a lot. If the cops could carry on a little conversation with the owners, while peering in the door's window, holster their side arms, then tell the owners they were going kick in the door, etc - I'd say they didn't feel they were in any real danger. Was tazing really warranted? This looks like police officers showing the owners who was in charge. A comply or else kind of action. The cops could have just as easily talked with the owners to assess if there was indeed any domestic violence issues that required further action.
At what point do you stop asking and stop telling? Sometimes when you disregard a lawful order (and with the info provided we have no reason to believe it wasn't lawful) you get tazed. They were more than patient. Maybe the guy felt like he was in the right, too. Maybe he was. You simply can't tell from the video.
We should probably just issue the cops fluffy pillows so when they have to deal with people no one will get hurt.
