It would be hard to watch this in person and not intervene.
The cop in the OP who keeps saying "Stop resisting" must be trying to look good on camera,
That, my friend, is exactly the problem. People are watching and not intervening... non-LEO don't because they don't want shot or tazed and LEOs aren't intervening because they often agree with officer #1.
Lets face it, we are only getting one side of the story here. I would bet that the old guy was drunk,(hence the reason for the fall) he was talking about suicide, he was telling the officers to f off, he did not obey any commands.
lol..... I think the we should qb this from the bench a little more....

He was clearly warned several times, personally i dont feel sorry for him at all. I do think the situation could have been handled better, but I was not there so I am not going to judge based solely on one side of the story. Not all LEO are bad.
Still not a reason for cops in his home.I would bet that the old guy was drunk,(hence the reason for the fall)
Words. In the privacy of his own domain. HIS business. Still not warranting intervention.he was talking about suicide,
Rightly so. He did not invite them into HIS home. They should have done EXACTLY that.he was telling the officers to f off,
They should not have given any.he did not obey any commands.
Hope you feel differently if an unjustified force is used on you or someone you love.personally i dont feel sorry for him at all.
As an example...when this aired on channel 59...one particularly cute but apparently brain dead female anchor person said something to the effect, "You can see the electricity flowing around his body." That's the light reflecting off the taser wires you goofy "B" word.
Carry on with the inquisition.
Don't be in such a hurry to grind that axe.i dont know what happened prior to the strat of the video but even after he is cuffed the fist keeps flyinghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdoP66bvMGs&feature=related
