Even in brawls, some domestic disturbances, basic assault, and drug arrests, you ALWAYS restrain every civilian involved.

You see, herein lies the problem, good sir. Police have become increasingly militarized over the past few decades, even to the point where they call the public "civilians". What the hell do they think they are? They're "civilians" too, and they serve us, not the other way around- at least that's the way it used to be.
And the problem with tasers is that with this militarized mindset, police tend to become more trigger-happy knowing that the "civilian" probably won't die.

Maybe he and some of his marine buddies can return the favor in secret. I would pay to see 10 combat experienced marines take on 10 cops in a ring, no holds barred. What fun it would be to watch a cop get what he deserves.

What are you, fifteen? Give up the attitude. Go out into the wide world and try to look beyond your own greedy drives. What cops deserve is more funding, respect, and a thank you every now and again.
As for your twisted desire, well that just screams maturity. "I want to see civil servants get pummeled!"
Grow up.

I probably would have spent some time pointing out to him that he was making a mistake before I allowed him to put cuffs on me also...sorry. it would have seemed like it would have saved time in the long run, and well, there is a domestic dispute going on, isn't there? that time saved would might have saved a life!!

It sounds as if he was disgusted with the fact that he felt he was following proper procedure and was being challenged on that, even by his superiors.
