I remember seeing that video ages ago, maybe 8 years or so. At that time I didn’t know much about the sovcit delusion, but now that I do it makes me wonder: Where’s this numpty today? Did he ever wise up? Or is he in a cell somewhere?
He might not have been actively a physical danger, but he did make it physical. He was told no and still tried to push through. He then gets angry (indicated by him telling them not to touch him despite them simply standing firm). He then reasserts his intent to go past them. He gave every indication of escalating the situation. That’s a definitive threat. I don’t think they should have to play his stupid games and just push him back until he becomes more and more threatening.
The sovvy physically pushed his way into P. Barnes. P. Barnes is law enforcement assigned to that courtroom. Laying hands (or shoulders or knees) on a LEO is a crime in the US. Whether the taser was necessary is a separate issue.
As annoying as these sovcit people are, that taser was uncalled for. The interaction wasn’t violent at all. A police officer needs a lot more restraint, not reach for a weapon because they have no patience. Talk it out. And if we cheer this on, we have no leg to stand on calling out police violence in other situations.
If you haven’t seen this classic or even if you have then you should watch it
Also, more P Barnes

Why don’t you think he was in the right?

The LEO is expected to use experience and judgement, not try be a mind reader until it’s too late in a hallway full of people.

P BARNES YEA! No cameras in the courtroom, protecting the identities of the little guy, he is a meat wall of implacability.
I love how matter of fact he is. There’s absolutely no hostility, just facts.
“I am.”
“Leave the camera with your mother, and you can come inside.”
“Step back.”
It’s like every word has to be carefully and neutrally chosen, because they carry the weight of the hammer of God behind them.
