Your argument makes no sense. Your mind isn't free, you're supporting police brutality with the idea that "he could have hurt the cops, or himself." Explain that one, because last time I checked, they had him pinned down. Obviously he couldn't do a thing to hurt the cops. This is police brutality, and it is you who has been manipulated to support it.

"They could have just beat him with a baton until he submitted as well". Hypothetically speaking, if they didn't have tasers, would you have supported this course of action?

You clearly don't understand those cops (that's plural) holding him down already had him subdued, for the most part. It would have just taken a minute or two longer to get the cuffs on him. Oh, but of course, that's really inconvenient for the cops, right? So, if it's inconvenient for the cops to spend a little extra time to prevent the violent act of using a taser, then the person who committed the so-called crime should be tased. Is this right? I'm not sure, I can't really predict your arguments, because I have not been manipulated to support police brutality, and the impending police state.
Like I said, they could of wrestled with him. Now right before they buzzed him he was using his free hand to gain leverage on a chair. If they proceeded to try to pull him over and they broke his arm you would still be crying police brutality. Was Meyer disabled in the video afterwards? Did the shock actually injure him? I haven't heard of any injuries received because of the shock therefore calling police brutality for this case is slap in the face to all the REAL cases of police brutality.
