Oakland A's Fan Being Tazed by Police - 8/4/2009


I don't know what transpired between this man and the officers prior to the tasing, as their exchange canno be heard. They seem to want him to move to a different seat for some reason. I do see the man make a rude gesture to the officers, which seems to anger them, then shortly after he is tased. I see three officers present, I'd think more than enough to overpower this seemingly middle aged, slightly tipsy man and if not, they have radios and could call for backup rather than escalate to a lever 3-4 repsonse. I can only presume that the tasing was done in anger to 'punish' the man for his rude gesture and 'attitude'.
