A man with a heart condition, getting tasered in his own home for telling the cops to get the out, who had no right to enter the home to begin with? He is about to get paid. I also agree that the officers should be fired and that the was funny.

I love how they keep telling him to stop resisting as he's lying on the ground getting the tazed outta him.
I hope those cops get fired tbh though.

I would've shot em
It didn't make me laugh. But because of videos like this I do laugh whenever I read about a pig getting shot in the line of duty.
Woah, that old man was deceptively fast. I'm surprised the deputies got out of there with their lives.
I love how his lawyer described it as "Shocking."
He should have stopped resisting when he was on floor in pain...
This is always...the public reaction....
but we don't know why or where the deputies were summoned and how did they know that
the old man threatened to put a gun to his head and kill himself...
if a person in Marin county (one of the wealthiest areas in the USA)
had managed to kill himself after someone had alerted deputies of the man's threats...
then EVERYONE here---and EVERYONE period...
would be crying that the deputies ALLOWED the poor senior citizen to kill himself AFTER the deputies had been ASKED to help...
poeple would have sued...they would have said...
why didn't the deputies take him in to a protective cell...and take his gun...why didn't they find him some psychatric help...
and MORONS;
what kind of an idiot REFUSES to comply when a peace officer gives you an order---for FIVE IN' MINUTES!
c'mon
the reason they repeat----STOP RESISTING!
IS because they have given you an order to place your hands behind your back so that they can cuff you---when you refuse to willingly give them your hands---the officers are forced to use other force---UNTIL--you comply....
the ONLY thing that would give a clearer picture is WHY the deputies were there...
we DON'T know if and who summoned them...
it COULD have been the old prick's wife that pleaded for help and then once she saw that they would try to take him in ---she changed her mind...
the old could have ALSO stated that he would not ONLY kill himself but maybe he also threatened to hurt someone else---
and the old prick and his lawyer---just dismissed the remark as UNIMPORTANT...
but it is very important what kind of threats you make when you talk about getting a gun and doing this or that
a LOT of facts are UNKNOWN---because the video only shows ONE SIDE---AS USUAL...
IF the deputies were there illegally----then YES---you are ALL right and those deputies and that department should AND WILL be sued,fired,castrated,etc...
ANOTHER reason as to why he was tased---is this;
if the deputies FORCE a senior citizen INTO handcuffs and break his poor frail arms and shoulders...
then EVERYONE will again cry police brutality....
by tasing--they hope to wake up the suspect that he needs to start taking the seriously---and that he WILL be handcuffed one way or another...
but the tasing is actually SAFER that forcibly twisting his body into handcuffs while the piece of suspect is also fighting....
be honest and look at EVERYTHING---before you start crying...police brutality...pigs,etc...
500+ dead from tasers, and the mfr still lies that tasers aren't lethal weapons.
Lots of rambling nonsense here.
What reason did they have to ask him to put his hands behind his back? Just answer that for me. Answer the one question that invalidates everything that you said.
these cops. A person might be suicidal, so their response is to TASE him? Right, because that's going not going to have negative mental affects or anything.
Using hyperbole should not be grounds for police officers to break your rights as a citizen.
yeah right, if you want to kill yourself, be my guest, so long as you don't hurt anybody else.
old man is gonna get $$$$
good for him
WOW, The cop took it way to far.For a little bit I thought it was fake. Yeah, the man gonna get paid and the cop should get fired. I saw no resisting, just a man screaming like a little . Now, three times, that cop needs a beating.
The problem as I see it is that the ACLU has taken away necessary tools to subdue unstable people…If the officer was able to use a dog catcher pole the emotionally unstable man could have been safely dragged to the patrol car, cuffed, & taken to a mental health facility…
how do you think his wife felt washing his pants after that tasering? yuck
"Stop resisting!"
Easy question to answer....
because they had decided to arrest him ---at that point...
so when a police officer tells you to put your hands behind your back---IF you are smart---you put your hands behind your back ---
this way---YOU WON'T BE TASED!
Now, we don't know if the peace officers that responded ---we don't know what situation they walked in...
example: you are a police officer on duty...ok;
you get a call that says:
``we have a male threatening to kill himself and possibly others and he may be armed and dangerous...please respond with caution''
you now walk into the situation....you see an elderly disheveled looking male...yelling...agitated...and appears erratic---to say the least...
you still DON'T know if he has a gun or not...
you don't know if anyone has been hurt...
you ask to see his hands...he refuses...tells you to get the out...
etc...
and for FIVE IN' MINUTES---HE REFUSES TO COOPERATE
any REASONABLE police officer would be scared less...scared that this old fool will pull out a piece from the chair cushion and blow his away...
so WHAT is so hard to comprehend when you look at both sides?
Arrest him for what? They had no warrant to enter his property without his permission. They did not read him his Miranda rights or inform him that he was being arrested.
Stop talking as though police officers are god, with supreme jurisdiction. They do not have the right to approach a person in the privacy of their own home with no warrant or rationale and arrest them. He had every right to refuse their commands, because he had done nothing wrong to that point.
If they really thought he was armed and dangerous, they shouldn't just stroll into his house like it's a donut shop. That's a good way to get yourself shot, and the other person off on an incredibly easy situation to defend for any competent attorney. "It was dark, people entered/broke into my house, I shot them not knowing they were police because THEY ENTERED A HOUSE WITHOUT PERMISSION."
At no point did the officers acknowledge or react in a way that typified they were afraid of someone who could be armed and dangerous.
The officers in question at no point demonstrated or stated the necessary authority to enter this man's house, to order him around like he's a known criminal, OR to threaten to cuff him. In fact, it is the policemen themselves in this situation who are guilty of breaking the law.
The tazering is even more ludicrous. Tazering causes an electric shock, one of the side effects of which is that it forces muscles to contract. They tazed him three times in the space of less than a minute under the guise that he was "resisting arrest" when in fact his body was just responding to the electric shock and unable to relax the muscles being shocked.
By the way, the court threw out the charge for "resisting arrest". Now, why would that be if your perfect, to-protect-and-serve officers were just doing their job and responding the situation appropriately?
cops. There will come a day when they represent the enemy. I look forward to that day.
The cops didn't have a search warrant and the man was in his own home. That invalidates ALL of your claims. Those cops were being assholes.
"STOP RESISTING! STOP RESISTING! STOP RESISTING! STOP RESISTING! STOP RESISTING!"
*Old man writhing on the floor in pain*
"STOP RESISTING! STOP RESISTING! STOP RESISTING! STOP RESISTING! STOP RESISTING!"
*Old man continues to writhe in pain on the floor*
The stop resiting arrest part is going to earn him some nice cash.

"The deputy used his taser because Peter McFarland lunged at him"
He should get paid.
That cop should be fired.
Anything less than that deserves vigilante justice.
This is so common whenever this kind of thing happens.People like you that see a video---or rather see a video as presented by one side and assume that they know all the facts of the case.
This little video was shown on TV by a TV station...who only cares about ratings...therefore...you ONLY see the side of the plaintiff/complainant shown...and you hear inflammatory verbiage such as, ``in the sanc y of his own home.''
Again, I repeat---both YOU and I--- do NOT KNOW ALL THE FACTS!
Even the TV anchor said that the police asked him to do something and he refused---for 5 minutes---but we DON'T know what ELSE went on for those 5 MINUTES!
As for the warrant and the miranda rights;
again...we DON'T know if they, in fact, did or not.
the warrant may or may not be necessary ---depending on the situation...
for example: if the police are called to respond...they respond to a residence...then they hear sounds,yellin,things crashin....a scream---whatever(this is just an example-ok)
then they have every right to enter a dwelling---if they think that there could be a crime or a dangerous situation in progress---that explains the lack of a warrant---or rather---THAT COULD explain the warrant issue--
but --AGAIN---WE DON'T KNOW!
We still don't know who called the police---or what was said when the police was called...
like I said before...IF it is as you say---just police coming into his house for NO REASON---NO CAUSE---THEN--you may be right---
and yes---those are bad cops who should NOT get away with it...
but as far as the rest---it is a very ONE SIDED video which makes it look really bad for the police----but THAT is what will get you the RATINGS!
YOUR comment about---he had every right to refuse to comply---because he had done nothing wrong---is COMPLETELY wrong...where you get that---I just don't know...
If I am in my house...and I have done nothing wrong...the police...storm inside with guns---a whole ing swat team...and they order me to put my hands behind my back---are you saying that i can refuse and tell them you for 5 in minutes?
give me a in break....I will be a dead man---AND I did nothing wrong...
Now---say that happened...
because I STILL HAVE A IN BRAIN---I
would do EXACTLY AS THE OFFICERS ORDERED ME TO...
then ...when the time is right...I will GET A LAWYER and settle things to my satisfaction....and BE ALIVE TO TELL MY GRANDKIDS ABOUT IT SOMEDAY!
as for the rest----WE STILL DON'T KNOW MOST OF THE FACTS---so why not wait to see what or why the officers did what they did BEFORE you assume you know everything and before you automatically assume that the officers were wrong...
