Well, in this case the multiple officers on scene could have likely surrounded EG and managed to get his hands behind his back without even forcing him to the ground. I mean, 6 to 1? Even with a big guy, that's pretty good odds you can make an arrest on an unarmed man without throwing him to the ground. Tasers would have been a bad idea here, IMO, as I think they need space to be safe and effective.
Officers should put themselves into a fistfight position? Or grapple or suffer bites, kicks?
Ugh...I think they did the best they could at the time to get cuffs on him.
I don't know if they used excessive force but I don't know if the man under arrest was exacerbating/agitating LE either.
Who wins in this case?
Sad.
