        These are African American cops rightfully arresting an unruly white male passenger who had assaulted a female passenger, he became belligerent towards the officers so they used a taser, unlike white cops who would have shot him especially if he were black, for the same offence.

        Based on most of the comments, very few actually noticed the irony.

        Yes he was resisting. They asked him to leave the plane. He didn’t listen, then they were trying to handcuff him and he was pulling away which is why he was tasered. That is resisting.

        So you only see and hear things the way you want them to be🤔he was resisting, scuffling and he was told why he was being removed. There was nothing wrong with the officers tone or method used to remove this man.

        Plenty of examplse on YouTube. It's nothing new. That being said, this guy had to be on something as it was not really affecting him.

        Why are the police so aggressive toward this man? Using a taser with innocent folks so close by was irresponsible. Wow! 3 huge officers and 1 little man. They need training! Wow unnecessary !

        Pretty pathetic three beefy cops can’t deal with one skinny white dude. The threat of this guy to three officers most definitely doesn’t mean the threat requirement to even use a taser or any other tool except handcuffs

        On an airplane and guy is under adequate physical control and not a danger to anyone. And your only response is to claim every white cop shoots blacks..... But hey let’s compare a gun free area with limited objects to even consider using as a weapon to the outside world
