Funny, what I read was you saying that the alternative was "[not living] to annoy another day." That does not sound like "the least amount of force necessary to me."

The thing about tasers is that they are "less lethal" not "non lethal" so getting an arm twisted may indeed be the preferred choice.

And of course all of this ignores the question of WTF are they doing arresting someone for speaking past the limit at a political rally. As if that doesn't happen all the time. Next time a presidential candidate goes over the limit in a debate will he get arrested?
