His lawyer is Stephen Yagman, who is known and feared by local police agencies for the ferocity of his lawsuits. He will file a federal civil rights lawsuit claiming “‘brutal excessive force,’ as well as false arrest” and racial profiling.

Good! I hope it makes quite a stink in the press. What I’d love to see is the funds from this when he wins the case go toward a trust used to setup a group that monitors and goes after police for brutality like this.
Don’t get me wrong. I can sympathize with cops that use force when going after someone who’s resisting or running. But attacking someone like this, who is complying with their demands or who is in custody and handcuffed, is completely unacceptable.
The student certainly wasn’t Mr. Compliant, but absolutely, tasering someone in handcuffs seems close to torture to me.
