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.
