Actions that would have been 100% justified and could have been used by the first two cops. Repeated strikes, taser, spray. But they keep trying to just use arm control to control somebody bigger/stronger then them.

Crowd would have probably scream police abuse and become hostile had they used any of the tactics/devices above anyway.

Honestly, this is why the force needs to allow and TRAIN all officers on the Lateral Vascular Neck Restraint (LVNR) to safely render suspects unconscious without damaging the airway or any other part of their body.

taser shouldn't be '100% justified', given that 80% of the deaths it inflicts are on nonviolent offenders. it should be a weapon of last resort, after physical restraint is ruled out due to danger (which isn't being bad at tackling, it's the perp holding a knife)
